******************************
Participants of this event were informed that $200,000 has been spent to implement this one way trial system . And that all the roadsigns have been bought. In which case points to the change being a permanent thorn in our behind. Not only that , this dialogue was actually held to inform us on MORE future proposals ( oooo....ada udang di sebalik batu ? ) whereby they are proposing to change even more roads after this, some according to the time of day ( omg, here's another loony professional idea ) , revert back to a roundabout near Island Hospital, rip up more sidewalks to widen more lanes , put in more speed tables as well as road signs elsewhere.
Although just 400 people turned up, the event had it's moments.
1. The beleagured "botak pun sudah tumbuh balik" punya YB started the session by saying
" No bad words" . Serious. I'm not kidding.
2. In total defiance, a signature campaign run by volunteers, opened up just next to the tent , right till the very end.
4. When a lady hawker whose face was flushed with anger went up to the platform where the YB's were sitting, to show them some photos, their jittery mottley crew of at least 6 men dressed in purple sprung into action ready to acost her in case she decided to attack them .Bwahahaha....oh come on...what did they think she was ?Riddick's revenge ? Ridiculous. Unbelievably ridiculous .
5. One guy had the entire crowd in stitches, pealing over doubled in laughter when he insisted that business at foot reflexology centres had shot up , because drivers now, had to visit those centres for pain relief. He even offered to sponsor Chow Kon Yeow a $53 session the next day at 8pm. " please stop smiling " he said " I'm serious " omg seriously funny guy this fella! Laughed till the tears rolled down my cheeks.
6. At one point, some lady hawkers started giggling at Yap for looking so irritated and frustrated as she pounded her phone with two arms squeezed tightly together .kah kah kah
7. Of course the highlight of the night has got to be the duel between Koay Teng Hai and the professional engineer. Omg, that was EPIC ! you should have been there to see it for yourself ! Koay is sooooo quick witted and so articulate he almost caused that all knowing engineer to have a nervous breakdown right there. I'm gonna condense the blistering fiery supersonic exchange ( look I can't remember everything but it was damn good to hear and watch ) went something like this :
