Tun Ghafar Baba Laid Foundation Stone To Air Panas Market

You may not be aware of it, but the late Tun Ghafar baba laid the foundation stone to the Air Panas Wet Market on Jan 14, 1996. You can see this plaque at the entrance to the pasar.

Got Car, Just Park lah!

See how some people can get away with murder? This taxi was seen parked at the roundabout at Taman Desa Setapak. How silly can you get? Roundabouts are for traffic diversion and to spruce up the surroundings. But from the look of this vandal, he couldn't care less where he leaves his car - even if it means driving up public property. And if the authorities decide to summons him, he will be all too quick to cry foul. Is there law and order anymore in Wangsa maju?

Big Signs - But Did You Notice Them?

Was told that this big signs came up early this year. Didn't notice them at all as a matter of fact. Only when I was alerted to it again did I see this piece, mounted on top of the bridge at the Chong Hwa Primary School.

Wonder what the school authorities are doing about it. From the huge size, it looks precarious to me. Let's hope in strong wind, it wont come crashing down - or worse, drag the entire roof off this bridge with it.

Why is City Hall allowing such pain-sized billboards in the city? The city is not colourful enough izzit? Perhaps City Hall can allow its trucks and vehicles to have advertising panels too. And maybe even advertising badges on its enforcers?

Imagine a DBKL officer issuing summonses on illegal parking wearing and advertising badge on his sleeves that says: "Minum Milo, Anda Jadi Kuat Dan Sihat!"

Stupid Scavengers Stole These Drain Covers In Air Panas

Someone has replaced the covers with wooden ones. But these will rot under the weather. Let's hope these are replaced with concrete covers instead.

SOME stupid people have stolen the plastic-fibre grills along the walkway connecting Air Panas Girls School to the Air Panas bus stop beside the padang some weeks ago. These scavengers will sell their mothers if you show them how so let's not get angry with them.

Till today, since this is the second posting of the same problem, no one has yet replaced these wooden covers proper ones. What will it take for anyone to act?

ps: Can City Hall or YB Wee Choo Keong's Office get these holes properly covered before someone falls into the drain should the wooden planks rot?

Thank you!

AH1N1 - Swine Flu Now In Wangsa Maju

According to a posting from the YB Wee Choo Keong's blog, Mexican/Swine Flu or AH1N1 has been detected at a school in Wangsa Maju.

Reproduced here is his post:

H1N1 Flu detected in Wangsa Maju
About noon today I got word that a H1N1 Flu case had been detected in our constituency.

I personally checked the accuracy of the information received and the Wilayah Health Department had confirmed to me that it did detect one case involving a Form 4 student of Sekolah Menegah Kebangsaan Wangsa Maju in Section 1 2.

I was also told that this case was detected on 18 June and the whole class of students had since been placed under quarantine until 25 June.

Hot, Hot! Check this scene out!

If you are around the Air Panas wet market, on Sundays, dont be alarmed if you see this scene. These fellas, usually men, are crowding around one corner of a coffee shop, highly engaged in some sort of interesting activity. They are actually checking out cheap DVDs, or VCDs, at the vendor's. The things you find at this wet market is remarkable!

It's Fine To Pay Your Parking Fines Late - and Get A Discount

Have you been fined for illegal parking in areas under the Ampang Municipal Council? Not yet paid your fines? Dont worry. You can pay during the period specified in the banner and get a discount.

Isn't this wonderful? Instead of penalising and getting at the debtors, the authority is giving discounts for late payments. Wonder how many people will pay next time and if they don't already, and how much more discounts, buy the way, will be given by MPAJ to persuade them to pay next!
