4 MPPP enforcers (from City Council of Penang island) barged into a photo shop in KOMTAR along Penang Rd on 21-03-07 around 2.30pm and make a nuisance of themselves in the short time. They didn’t wear their uniform, didn’t produce any identification papers, didn’t give any notice/warnings, didn’t provide a list of things they took away-which included advertising light box from 3 shops-which was said to be obstructing the walkway. Above all they behave like `samseng’/thugs even though they are categorised as `civil servants’. Alas they came to the wrong place to show their `little Napoleon’ antics -which City Council staffs are notorious for. The photo shop folks have the latest gear to film them in real action ! Watch this 1 min video here.

The enforcers’ action was a real slap in the face of the PM who has been reported to be preparing to make a major announcement on how to improve Malaysia’s notorious public delivery system !

If you think the enforcers were just being overzealous to enforce Council rules think again : there is actually a big drain hole left uncovered right in front of the photo shop where the officers seems totally uninterested to do anything about. Someone must have stolen the metal drain cover long time ago-during which 3 persons had dropped into the hole-according to the shopowner. It was also a really stinky hole too -when I open the temprory timber cover.

I was informed of the incident thru a 3rd party. After I got agreement from the shop owner I organised a press conference for them this morning where 4 media turned up. Look out their report. Later I brought the shop owner, the media and a friend Zul to MPPP counter on 4th floor of KOMTAR to lodge a report against the 4 enforcers. MPPP counter personel did call the oversight officer of the 4 enforcers and was told that the enforcers gave 1 hour notice to the shop owner; wore uniform and bahave themselves. However when the MPPP counter staff came down to see the shop and the video they admit that the oversight officer was not telling the truth.

We look forward to the response from the embattled MPPP President Abu Bakar Hassan -whose mishandling of the peeping tom by MPPP technician issue is rocking his MPPP top seat !

The shop owner had lodged a police report on the following day and took their issue to the airwave as well. As of now the youtube clip has attracted 400+ viewers with almost perfect 5 star rating !The issue will not end soon yet. Watch out in this site : www.penangwatch.net
