The Ng Wei Aik Tantrum @ Penang

So he lost face when a video showed his brute methods.He had to apologise and now he wants us all to eat indoors cos he wants us to emulate him the good little boy who goes home every night to eat his mamas quaker oats.
I want to ask him to go fly kite and stick a pacifier in his mouth.Send him out of Penang island with some nappies and his smelly blanket for bawling like a baby and inconveniencing us diners.
As we all know the Rapid bus drivers on Chulia Street treat the road as a racing track.Many a times I have seen pedestrians almost knocked down,and cars swerving to avoid a head on collision with these road bullies.Herding everyone indoors won't solve the problem.
There are more than 3 roads if they really want to find fault.In fact they should strip the entire Batu Ferringhi night market and al fresco dining street too since the traders force pedestrians to endanger their lives by walking onto the roads.Let's see...there's also the back of Gurney Plaza to consider,Tanjong Tokong,Fettes Park,Kimberley Street,Pulau Tikus,and so much more.
Read the brainless brainchilds idea of how he wants to reform Penang into a great plastic Singapore style farce of a gluttons paradise.

Eating And Living On The Edge (Zalinah Noordin)

The Penang Municipal Council (MPPP)will take to court stubborn operators of restaurant and eateries who still place tables and chairs outside their premises in Georgetown for alfresco dining.
MPPP councillor Ong Ah Teong said the council would resort to court action if operators persisted in providing open air dining despite the RM250 compound.
He said the errant operators would be hauled to court under the Road Safety and Public Order Act.
The council had identified such eateries which cause traffic obstruction and possibly accidents on Chulia Street,Batu Maung and Sungai Pinang.
They will normally place their tables and chairs by the roadside on weekends and on public holidays from about 5pm onwards to midnight,he said in an interview.
He said the MPPP had identified three cafes on Chulia Street which had continued to place tables and chairs outside despite repeated reminders from the MPPP for them not to do so.
We've been issuing compounds under the Hygiene and Public Safety Act which carries a RM250 fine,he said.
If they still persist,we will take the operators to court and also seize their tables and chairs and other items that cause obstruction,he said.
He said that the compounds should be issued under Section 46 of the Drainage and Building Act 1974 which carries a RM50 fine but the amount was not taken seriously by most operators.
