The Ng Wei Aik Saga @ Penang Island

Things just don't seem to get any better.Now traffic policemen have been spotted making their rounds and giving 'verbal advice' to Nasi Kandar owners to NOT place tables even on small neighbourhood lanes that end in cul de sacs for crying out loud with minimal traffic flow.
Because of one skirmish in which tempers flared and men being the barbarians that they are when their neurons get a little heated,we the Penangites who know how to side step,put up with inconveniences and pollution,hygiene issues and so on so forth are now being forced to dine indoors like a herd of buffaloes.
YB Ng,somehow your apology seems to be only for show right?Like window dressing.

It is as if you have a personal vendetta against ALL these operators over your ONE fiasco and now you set out to deprive US the customers who like to dine under the stars?
Some might remind me that it is the incident of the accident where the car ploughed into the diners that started the ball rolling.
Well if that is the case,you might as well make all roads and highways one way too,so there is no chance head on collisions as well.Issue a directive for all motorcyclists to wear sumo suits while they are driving and pad all buildings,trees and road railings with foam so that no one will crash into any them.If that isn't safe enough make all buildings and housing estates roadless.Park your car 2 kilometres away and walk there.Ridiculous right?
Some might argue that the traffic policemen,do not report to those up in the clouds at Komtar,but they do like to dine outdoors too right?
So thanks very much for adding more thorns to our already cactus butt YB,no one's gonna help you pull the big splinter out of your toe.You need to attach your big splinter to a gas canister and throw it out from your office window to do the job for you.
