April 3..Bkt Gantang ..impressions (1)..alot of Police

I stayed the night at Taiping...the nights rain provided for a cool nights rest...a drive through the Lake Gardens next morning was a delightful sight...a mist was floating on the lake...very picturesque...
( please click on the photos to enlarge)


..what i had wanted to capture was the heavy presence of Police personel..it impressed on me that there was 'TENT CITY ' of police when i turned towards Simpang...the Tent City was at the traffic lights junction in front of "Dewan Changkat Jering"

..you couldn't miss them .. their trucks were all over the place...




..and there were a row of these fast motorbikes....thats the camp in the background-Subten 14 Changkat Jering...i saw in a blog that the rental of tents during the KT by-election cost the taxpayer over a million ringgits...ouch!!

..about a kilometer further headed towards Taiping there is another'TENT CITY' ..more trucks
.. more intimidation...but its for our own good though!....



..saw alot of Police bikes on the road leading towards Taman Kaya...outside a "budget hotel"


..must be pretty cramped inside.. i saw these pair of boots outside the accomodations with the sock on top..possibly for airing.....

..if their logistics presence is not enough they've even got Pondok Tents in the kampung areas.. this one below was at peaceful and laid back Trong.....

..the strongest police presence seen ever!!
