Bridges Too Far

If you have been travelling via Jalan Gombak, I am sure you will see many bridges being built with the road expansion. There is one near Ong Tai Kim, one near Chong Hwa school and one near the Fourth Mile surau. While all are done with good intention, has City Hall thought of the old folks who might be using them to cross the now widened road? Can any climb without breaking their kneecaps?

Fire Razes Shop in Jalan Gombak

A fire broke out at about 6:20am today, razing a shop/several shops in Jalan Gombak opposite the mosque at Batu 3-3/4. Firemen arrived at about 6:40am to bring the fire under control by 7am. These are the photos capture barely moments ago.

Best Terengganu Nasi Dagang Is Available Here

Difference between nasi dagang Terengganu and Kelantan's is that the rice is white. And Terengganu nasi dagang tastes a whole lot better!
IF you crave for a good nasi dagang, Terengganu nasi dagang, that is, head to Platinum Walk at Danau Kota. A newly open restaurant by the name of D'Ganu Station could just be the place you should head to.

Its owners, from Kemaman, opened shop barely a month ago when we passed by the place and decided to give it a try. I am pleased to report that the RM4 for a plate of nasi dagang Terengganu is definitely worth it. You get two chunks of boneless tuna (ikan aya, in Malay) and you can enjoy the rice which is one of the best of Terengganu I have tasted so far.

Of course, don't just stop at that - there are many more Terengganu delicacies that you should try, such as the pengat pisang (banana broth), keropok lekor (fish sausages) and the likes.


You get two chunks of tuna in a very delicious curry. Hot, too!

The restaurant is located in the middle row of Platinum Walk, beside the Fatty Prawn fishing outlet. D'Ganu opens from 8am. If you still can't find the way, call the number on the menu card, featured below.

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!
