News from my wife’s hometown…

“THE Taiping Municipal Council has issued a stern warning to visitors not to feed the monkeys in the lake gardens or face a fine”

I am not sure whether that is going to change the monkey’s attitude as I have seen the monkeys’ actually chasing people to grab food from their hand.

“MORE than 2,000 nasi kandar restaurant operators nationwide have agreed to come up with a standardised pricing scheme for food and drinks sold at their premises to prevent consumers from being overcharged”

Finally, it is happening but after these restaurant operators raked huge profits (of course). I still remember the time (about 3 years ago) that having nasi kandar was almost a yearly affair for me and my colleagues.
