of illegal banners, posters and signage!

it has been many times that I have seen DBKL lorries and vans moving around the city to clean up the illegal banners, posters and signage hung along road signs, lamposts and some pasted on walls.

Everytime a clean-up is made, they re-appeared with a vengeance. It's a wonder as to why if legal actions are purpotedly taken against these "public nuisance", they kept coming back. Is there something which we public don't know?

Public funds are wasted in cleaning up and wouldn't it be good for a review of the local city enforcement unit able to shut down the business of these offenders immediately each time they are caught.

It is sad that a beautiful city of Kuala Lumpur are littered with these unwated posters, banners and signage. Where is the civic consciousness of we Malaysians?

I would not hesitate to call these bunch of people a real "kurang ajar"!

everywhere is OK for you can park or wait in the city of Kuala Lumpur!

It was often said that when many Malaysian drivers hop into their cars, they lost their civic conscious and social awareness. This had in many instances caused inconvenience to many road users which indirectly caused traffic chaos around the city rueing from improper road planning and congestion.

This picture would show an example of the habits of some Malaysian drivers disregarding other road users and a wonder if actions could not be taken against these offenders. This picture taken at the Titiwangsa train stations reflect the need for reinstill the social obligation of the public. The fact that the Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) Enforcement Unit office is just round the corner, it's a wonder that such incidences remained the same every evening.

Prices up during CNY?

Vege prices up, pork to cost more due to high demand and low supply.

Since when prices of necessities does not go up during the Chinese Lunar New Year??????

This is an annual affair and experience from previous years would allow the authorities to execute precaution over such occurences.

There are Chinese community whom are low income earners and not only other races!

Does the Malaysian Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry really learn from previous years or least bothered??

Amidst the confusion, lfie goes on for Malaysians and foreign tourists

While the church and places of worship arson still under investigation, a mosque in Sarawak was on the receiving end as reported by Reuters. Was this action to "balance up" or an action by extremists targeted in rocking Malaysia is left to be investigated by the police.

US had issued a travel advisory for all travelers on possibility of a terrorists attack on the tourist resort islands off the coast of Sabah by the Mindanao rebels. However, this was denied by the Malaysian Government.

The only warning that the Malaysian authorities had issued till now related to Sabah is the warning of heavy rain, strong winds and rough seas which will go on till Monday, January 18.

Amidst the confusions, Malaysians are up and moving around doing their chores including shopping in Sogo Shopping Centre which is hosting a member only preview sale which had caused a traffic snarl along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

With the Chinese Lunar New Year a month away, Malaysians celebrating the event are busy doing their shopping to welcome the Year of the Tiger.

Foreign tourists are busy browsing through the stalls along the night market along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman while some are busy negotiating prices with the traders.

Is there any fear about traveling in and around Malaysia, the answer is simply none.

Generally, all Malaysians are peace loving citizens of the country and it was the political games played by the politicians which are causing the political divide which incidentally affects the followers whom are not able to analyse the situation gets carried away.

calm over "Allah", "Tuhan" and "God" please!

Pleading all politicians (especially UMNO) stop taking the opportunity on the Allah confusion while stroking the fire of evil to gain support of the Malays. It is a dangerous precedent and a threat to the country we love since Independence and after all we are 1 Malaysia!

Religion is not by force but solely by faith!

You can't force a cow to the river to drink and similar in religion, the individual decides on practising their religion of choice or at birth.

If this is an act of provocation or protest, it is definitely uncalled for.

Such action is shameful, coward and reflects a person without a strong footing of himself/themselves while allowing their heart to be driven to commit such a sinful act which Allah would not forgive.

With PM saying "he can't control", the issue would only head towards a sole direction of blowing up! He should calm the down and control the situation if he is seriously promoting 1 Malaysia unless deep down in his heart his vision was only about uniting the Malays.

Malaysian business circle and tourism would be heavily affected by such calls and thoughts!

It is their faith (or iman in Bahasa Malaysia) and commitment to religion on prayers.

Let's stop playing GOD here!

Between "Allah" and "Tuhan" - leaved it to the confused!

If "Allah" refers to God specifically for Islam in Malaysia, does this means that "God" is reserved for the Christians to use in Bible and sermons/publications?

Can Muslims utter "Oh My God"?

If God is universal, would the God be angry if there are more and more people calling upon him?

If usage between God and Allah is merely an interpretation, wouldn't the God be upset with the twisting and turning in Malaysian Courts over the decision in using the word Allah?

As we can see, the issue is more about safeguarding the interest of Islam faith and not causing confusion among the Muslim brothers over religion.

Wait a minute, we should not stray away from the more pressing issues of;

(a) PKFZ,
(b) Teoh Beng Hock,
(c) missing F5E jet engines (yet again MACC had proven they are only experts at catching "small
fish"),
(d) Altantuya murder,
(e) corruptions, scandals and etc.

Leave the God or Tuhan (since we can't use Allah), to decide while Malaysians pay special attention to the issues enveloping Malaysia!
