Was having breakfast with my wife and son at a restaurant this morning. It's NOT a non-smoking restaurant. Unfortunately we were seated beside a table full of male smokers. It destroyed our "breakfast mode", and we left as soon as we finished our food, of course inhaled a lots of "complementary" passive smokes.
According to tons of research conducted, smoking is the greatest risk factor for cancer. Read the article by Cancer Research UK here. Passive smoking has the same or even greater risk. Read the extract of the BMJ article here.
Though we are only exposed to the passive smokes for that few minutes, but no doubt we were mentally stressed, and left with some damage lung cells.
Some time one day, when I have the resource, I will bring these public smokers to court for attempt to cause injury/sickness to other. Or bring the restaurant owner to court for negligence for not taking care the interest of non-smokers, when the restaurant is not designated as "smoking only" or "non-smoking" restaurant.

Public Reserved Land or Private Reserved Land?
In KL/PJ city, every inch of land is so precious that lot of people are trying to take advantage to gain extra inches of public land for private use.
This is original backyard view as built by the developer, a 10 feet buffer zone between the backyard with the road shoulder.
This is what had been extended by the house owner. The plants are cleared, and are replaced with a piece of concrete wall:
Is this legal? Can these house owners claim ownership of the 10 feet buffer zone land?

City Life? City Behaviour?
For those who are/were part of your RA committee, you will definite agree with me with the following human behaviors in a city community:
1. When you ring the door bell, whether to collect security fees, or to give away goodies, people inside the house will look out suspiciously, or send their maid to handle you. Or the best is still they will freeze themselves in the living hall, pretending that no one is at home.
2. If you are organizing a community event, and the event is a festive celebration event or makan event, the participation rate will be over whelming. But when it's a gotong royong event, ha.. ha ..
3. Still on gotong royong, not many people would want to dirty their hands to clean up the community, but won't mind dirty their hands for the free food. The best is still there are shameless people who just come for the food.
