Can MBI Do Better Now ......

At Canning Gardens ... Woods Avenue
This has been going since “a long time ago” so HARAP-an if the new government can innovate a PERMANENT SOLUTION to the problem.



....a drain used to be here.
Grass uncleared for months, drains overgrown and becoming a ‘swamp’ and sidewalks overgrown with weeds.

...below is a drain...taken from Jalan Chow Kai


... this is a side walk
These photos were taken in Canning Gardens on the weekend. Where are the contractors or is it MBI staff who are supposed to clear once per forth night.

Is there a garden waste plan or is this still under discussion.


This is Canning Garden literally almost under the nose of MBI.

Can we get the Council to do a tidying up immediately and keep it tidy thereafter ?

Once Upon A Time – Indian Kueh Seller


This photo was taken early in the 1980’s of the Indian Kueh seller. Interestingly he sold ‘nyona kueh’ as well as the fried popiah.



The pushcart had replaced the carrying pole of the time. Noted too he had a stove at the back though I did not think of checking it out then. Could he have been selling mee rebus.

He must had wondered why I wanted to photograph him cause he had a real steely look about him.



No doubt his life was a tough one. But looking back I am glad I took the shot cause I don’t see these hawkers any more.
