Another favourite place is Chili Merah in Shah Alam. They make the best roti canai with that soft , tender texture and heavenly spicy curry to dunk your roti in. And some days ,if I am lucky, I get to eat my roti canai with piping hot, just-cooked gulai daging 'kawah' style.
BUT THIS MORNING I WAS IN A FOUL MOOD!! I resented the threat I faced when I stepped out of my home to go out for breakfast. There was a gathering at Kelana Jaya to protest against the fuel hike, or so they said. I felt intimidated. And awfully suspicious. I couldn't help feeling that there was something more to it than just a genuine show of opinion on our present fuel predicament .It was a global phenomenon , for crying out loud ! . I firmly believe that there was a hidden agenda for all this hu-ha -----like what most people thought.
But most importantly,this kind of protest gathering which had become the norm for some quarters had encroached on my minding-my-own-business breakfast outing. There is always an unsettling feeling, a sense of insecurity towards one's well-being that accompanied these protest moves. Plus these kind of assemblies entail traffic jams ,or at the very least traffic congestions. I abhor this encroachment !! I have the right to go out as and where I please, safe in the knowledge that my movement is within the realm of peaceful co-existence with my fellow countrymen ---------- without this multi- agenda group manupulating our system and our fellow citizens and creating public uneasiness in the process , just so they can pursue their own selfish ambitions.
It is really pathetic. Some of these 'protesters' are legislators at state and federal levels ! Why bother to get yourselves elected if at the end of the day you could not stay away from the streets?
I am sick and tired of these charade. Get your act together. Use the right channels to air your views. Democracy does not dictate that you can create an environment of threat towards other people's convenience........and safety. Grow up and behave !!
And let me and a lot of other hungry people enjoy our breakfast in peace !!!
