Unlawful Behaviour

An update on the latest on our guarded and gated (illegally) community. The shops nearby are up in arms against the gating. I am against it too. Guess what? Among them against the illegal road blockages, is a pub.

Good old Jeff has now threatened the pub owner. If he is against the blockages, Jeff will report to the Jabatan Agama Islam (Islamic Religious Department) that there are Muslims in the pub. What the heck.

Good move by Jeff. You know what? If I were the business owner, I would move out and replace the pub with a undertaker service. All I will do is get a few big ugly coffins and have them displayed prominently in the shops, ala 'open space'. What will these do? It will drive down property prices faster than anything else. Hopeless fengshui. Imagine waking up to a bunch of dead wood, so to speak. Businesses could reply with other solutions equally nasty, including but not limited to a snooker centre, a massage parlour (read illegal prostitution), some lousy gaming centres or just empty shop lots. Either way, it will attract the wrong crowd.

Moral of the story - the shops are part of our community. To be fair, these shops here have been good neighbours. They've never caused trouble. So, why the eff barricade the roads and potentially affect business?
