With the loud and thunderous noise coming from the kitchen hood which is just outside our bedrooms, it is not possible for us to sleep anymore. Even if we press two big pillows onto our ears, this loud and thunderous noise can still be heard clearly and loudly. Once we leave our bedrooms, we normally don't enter our bedrooms again for the whole day/night until the kitchen hood is turned off. I am actually not feeling well today but I can't sleep anymore and have to leave my bedroom at 5.40 a.m. in the morning even though I slept at 1.00 a.m. because I worked late last night. If you click on this video, you can see how serious this noise pollution is especially at 5.40 a.m. in the morning. But according to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), this loud and thunderous noise from the kitchen hood in the early hours of the mornings is not noise pollution and Malaysians can make a much noise as they want as long as the source of noise is inside their house. You can also view this video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLRrFh_dQt0&feature=youtu.be
Every morning, when yarl restaurant's selfish and irresponsible boss turned on his noisy kitchen hood, it is as though he is saying:
Hey, you fools, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP. I want to make big bucks today. I want to turn on my loud and thunderous kitchen hood now because it cannot function properly without making loud and deafening noise so please leave your bedrooms immediately. I will only lower the volume of my kitchen hood whenever anyone comes to check on my restaurant. When no one is there to check on me, I will turn on my kitchen hood to its maximum capacity. I don't care how my kitchen hood noise is affecting you. I only want to do business and make lots of money. If you can't stand my kitchen hood noise, you can shift elsewhere. If you want to stay here, you must bear all the sufferings that my noise pollution program is causing you with fortitude. In this lawless cowboy town, I am the law and I can do what I want. Even the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is trying to cover up for me. These DBKL fellas even tell stupid lies for me. That is why I am so daring. Anyway, these DBKL fellas are really stupid. If they ever come to check on my restaurant, I'll just show them the speaker and tell them that the speaker is the kitchen hood and they will believe me. No one can do anything to me. I am in control here because I own a restaurant. My skin is very thick and I don't know how to feel ashamed of myself. I know very well that my kitchen hood is making a lot of noise but I don't care. I am also a liar. Sometime in August 2013, I lied to Fong Kui Lun's (MP of this area) assistant that I would reduce the noise in the neighbourhood without any intention to do so. Since he came to see me to ask me to reduce the noise after complaints from the neighbours, I might as well lie to him because I know that he cannot do anything to me. I am not going to spend a single sen to solve the noise problem. Let the neighbours suffer as long as I can make money. It is really amusing to make everyone in the neighbourhood suffer for the sake of my business. The entire neighbourhood is very quiet at this hour of the day, so quiet that you can even hear a pin drop, and the only noise you can hear is my kitchen hood noise. Each morning, when I turn on my noisy kitchen hood, everyone has to flee from their bedrooms. At night, long after bedtime hour, I can still make loud and deafening noise so that my victims cannot sleep. How funny! Sleep deprivation is a beautiful thing! See how my victims suffer? This clearly shows how grand I am! The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has given me the authority to do so through their inaction. These DBKL fellows dare not do anything to me. I can make others suffer under my noise pollution program and they cannot do anything to me. No one can do anything to me. Can we torture others for the sake of our business? Well, Malaysia Boleh and that is why I am doing it! MONEY FOR ME, NOISE FOR YOU-this is the motto of my life. Ha! Ha! Ha!
Why does yarl restaurant's boss dare to do whatever he wishes at the expense of others? This is because it is an obvious fact that the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) trying to cover up for yarl restaurant. Evidence 1: Even a little child knows what yarl restaurant's kitchen hood looks like after seeing the pictures in my blog but the DBKL officers still cannot differentiate between a speaker and a kitchen hood (after reading my email with a link to my blog). Assuming that the kitchen hood was the speaker, their verdict was - no noise pollution. Evidence 2: Next, they came out with the verdict that as long as the source of noise is in your house, there is no noise pollution. Evidence 3: Upon repeated complaints, the DBKL officers finally went to inspect the restaurant but they chose the day when it was closed (I suppose a DBKL insider must have known that yarl restaurant was closed that day). According to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, since the restaurant was closed that day, there was no noise pollution. Yarl restaurant is opened every day so why chose the day when it was closed? So this is the way Malaysians cover up things i.e. by telling lies with their eyes wide opened.
Did the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the Department of Environment (DOE) really give yarl restaurant the authority to turn on its loud and deafening kitchen hood at such in the wee hours of the morning? Is yarl restaurant allowed to make this kind of loud and deafening motor noise in the wee hours of the morning when many people are still sleeping? At this hour in the morning, everywhere is so quiet that you can even hear the sound of a pin dropping. Anyone in their right senses would not want to talk loudly or even turn on the music loudly at this hour of the day because we know that it is just not right to make noise at such an early hour in the morning. Chasing everyone out of their bedrooms at such an early hour in the morning is nothing new to yarl restaurant. As yarl restaurant's air and noise pollution victims, we have been suffering continuously and intensely from his noise pollution program since January last year without the right to say or do anything about it. What is even worse is that this noisy kitchen hood may even start making thunderous noise as early as 5.20 a.m. in the morning chasing everyone out of their bedrooms when they are still in their deep sleep! In other countries, restaurants are not allowed to make noise before 7 a.m. and even after 7 a.m., they cannot emit noise which is above 60dBA. But in Malaysia, you can be tortured with noise as loud as thunder outside your window at 5 - 7 a.m. in the morning and you have no right to say or do anything about it! The question I am discussing here is: Why the Kuala Lumpur City Hall is trying to cover up for yarl restaurant's air and noise pollution program?
Why is the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) trying to cover up for yarl restaurant in such a fishy way? Why is it that the DBKL cannot take action against yarl restaurant? Is something fishy going on? Here, I would like to share with you some of the greatest lies of the century entitled "THE STUPID LIES KUALA LUMPUR CITY HALL TOLD". One day, after repeated complaints from the residents, the DBKL officers finally went to check on yarl restaurant. However, instead of looking for the real kitchen hood, they simply assumed that the kitchen hood was the speaker inside the restaurant. So, instead of dealing with the kitchen hood, they went on to deal with the speaker and said that there was no noise pollution. Is this stupidity on their part or just a mistake? Please read the email from DBKL below:

In this email, I was told that the speaker was only temporary since according to yarl restaurant's boss, it was intended to attract customers during Deepavali. Sounds ridiculous, isn't it? We are complaining about the kitchen hood but they are dealing with the speaker. There is no reason why this mistake could be made when the photo of the kitchen hood is so clear in my blog article (I have provided a link to my latest article in this blog in my email to DBKL). The question is why on earth did these DBKL fellows focus on the speaker and did not try to look for the kitchen hood at all? Don't tell me that they don't know that the kitchen hood is at the back of the restaurant when there is a photo of it in my article. This is clear evidence that they are trying to cover up for yarl restaurant. After reading the articles in this blog, even a stupid child could tell you what a kitchen hood is and where yarl restaurant's noisy kitchen hood could be found. Why is it that these adults from DBKL can't even differentiate between a speaker and a kitchen hood and they don't know where it is even after reading the articles in this blog and seen a photo of yarl restaurant's kitchen hood. I have sent many complaint emails to them but so far they have done nothing except for their "magic show" i.e. turned the kitchen hood into the speaker. There is a saying "With money even the kitchen hood can turn into the speaker". Just how true is it? Well, it is for the Kuala Lumpur City Hall to answer this question. Since Malaysia is known as one of the most corrupt nations, anything can happen here. Is turning on some kind of loud and deafening motor sound between 5.20 a.m. - 7.00 a.m. when the entire neighbourhood is so quiet that you can even hear a pin drop noise pollution? Does yarl restaurant's boss have the right to disturb the entire neighbourhood with his air and noise pollution program? Well, let us see what the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has to say in their second email to me after I made another complaint?

According to this email, yarl restaurant's motor is inside the restaurant and the kitchen hood is facing downwards into the drain. Therefore the DBKL is of the opinion that there is no noise pollution even though yarl restaurant's loud and deafening kitchen hood noise can be heard on the 4th floor! Don't you think that this is the most stupid answer that anyone could give? Does this mean that I can turn on my CD player loudly at the whole day to disturb my neighbours as long as the CD player is in my house? When the neighbours complain, can I tell them that there is no noise pollution because the CD player is in my house? So, my dear readers, it is alright for you to turn on your CD player, TV, and computer speakers loudly as early as 5.20 a.m. and even at midnight to disturb your neighbours because this is not noise pollution according to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall. Why is it so? Because the CD player, TV, and computer speaker are in your house! Don't you think that this is indeed one of the greatest jokes of the century? Please take note that no matter how loudly we turn on our CD player or television, it can never be as loud as yarl restaurant's thunderous kitchen hood noise!
It is obvious that Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is telling lies for yarl restaurant for the second time. If you look carefully at the picture of yarl restaurant's kitchen hood above, there is no drain below the kitchen hood where the ground is cemented. Anything fishy here? There is also another saying: With money even the cemented ground can turn into the drain! Once again, it is for the DBKL to tell us how true this saying is! What the DBKL should do now is to find out why their officers are trying to cover up for yarl restaurant. It could be that each time I send an email to the DBKL, this email is forwarded the same person who has to tell lies for yarl restaurant due to something fishy and that is why no action can be taken by the DBKL. Who knows, one day, even the flies can turn into raisins and can be eaten!
What seems to be ridiculous here is when I made another report to DBKL, these DBKL officers only went to check on yarl restaurant on the day that the restaurant was closed. Did they do it on purpose? Here is the 3rd email from DBKL:
3.Tarikh siasatan pada 10/2/2012@ 9.45pagi dan didapati restoran bertutup
dan berkunci.
4.Mucung cerobong asap menghala kebawah kedalam longkang awam dan
motornya didalam premis.(tiada beroperasi).

According to this email, they went to check on yarl restaurant on 10 February 2014 but it was closed and locked. The kitchen hood was facing downwards and going into the drain and the motor was inside the premises. They were not in operation. Since yarl restaurant was closed that day, their verdict is: No noise pollution. Even a child could sense something fishy here? Why chose the day when yarl restaurant was closed to check on them? If the restaurant was closed on that day, why not try again another day? Is that the way our government departments function? This is a clear indication of how inefficient the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is. Yarl restaurant is operating 7 days a week and these DBKL fellows chose to check on them on the one day when it was closed and they never bother to go there again assuming that there is no noise pollution. These DBKL fellows are also telling lies again for the third time. The video above clearly shows that the kitchen hood does not end in the drain. Beneath the kitchen hood, you can see cemented ground and not 'drain'. If the kitchen hood really ends in the drain then the curry particles would go into the drain and the air pollution here wouldn't be so serious. (Each time we put our clothes out to dry, they are soaked in curry). Maybe these DBKL fellows should go to the first restaurant which is in the same row as yarl restaurant and see for themselves what 'going into the drain' means. Even a stupid child who watches the video above knows that this is an obvious case of serious noise pollution! How come the DBKL officers cannot see that?
PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THE NOISE THAT YARL RESTAURANT IS GENERATING IS THE KIND OF LOUD AND THUNDEROUS MOTOR SOUND THAT CAN EVEN BE HEARD ON THE FOURTH FLOOR! WONDER WHY IT IS ALLOWED IN MALAYSIA AND AT SUCH AN EARLY HOUR IN THE MORNING TOO? IS THIS WHAT WE MEAN BY "MALAYSIA BOLEH" - i.e. WE CAN DO ANYTHING IN MALAYSIA INCLUDING KILLING PEOPLE SLOWLY WITH NOISE AND THREATENING THEM WITH VIOLENCE SHOULD THEY COMPLAIN?
