Aidil Adha in Penang

Anybody noticed that not many mamak,muslim,malay shops were open for business during this festival .If you wanted a bite you had to trawl high and low to locate one.
$#@%! No roti canai,no teh tarik,no kuih,no rojak,no nasi kandar,no pisang goreng,no cucur,no karipap,no mee goreng,no malay tomyam,no nasi campur .$#@%!
It was as if it were the main festival of Hari Raya itself.
We finally found one Kandar open in Jalan Dato Keramat.
It was as if our muslim brothers were forced into observing a day of abstinence from doing business in respect of the holy festival.
Is there some decree issued by the religious council?Are Penang food outlets influenced by a Pas led state of affairs sanctioned by Pakatan?No,I am not for BN either but at least they have the common sense not to frighten?food operators this way?
I know I am nobody to comment on this but this didn't happen last year.Why now?
