A MESSAGE FOR YARL RESTAURANT'S VICTIMS: LET US WORK TOGETHER TO END OUR SUFFERINGS


The video above  is taken at 6.05 a.m. this morning (29 May 2014). I was actually still sleeping soundly at that time when I suddenly heard a loud blasting sound that shook my entire bedroom like an earthquake. I was waken up suddenly only to find that yarl restaurant has turned on it's loud and thunderous kitchen hood again at 6.05 a.m. today. This video can also be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uATykYs-5A. In this video, you can see yarl restaurant's open air kitchen very clearly. 

In the above photo, taken at 8 a.m. this morning, you can see yarl restaurant's worker hiding behind the white van to prepare food on the dirty table at  yarl restaurant's open air kitchen.
 
 
Photos of the dirty homemade tables (one high, one low) at yarl restaurant's open air kitchen taken at 10 a.m. this morning. Yarl restaurants' workers use these tables to prepare food. Can you see the crow standing on the high table? Do you know that crows can transmit bird flu? Would you like to eat foods eaten by crows first before you? Is this your ideal restaurant? Don't you think it's much more hygienic to cook your own food? I am sure your kitchen is much cleaner than yarl restaurant's open air kitchen! But of course Malaysians don't mind eating dirty foods. In this photo, you can also see yarl restaurant's faulty kitchen hood that not only makes loud and thunderous noise from the wee hours of the morning until late at night but also throws out curry vapour to pollute the entire neighbourhood. (The thing with the telephone number on it is yarl restaurant's faulty kitchen hood). 

Why am I writing about yarl restaurant again? This morning I was waken up by yarl restaurant's loud and thunderous kitchen hood at 6.05 a.m. As usual, since I can't sleep anymore because of the noise, the only thing I can do now is to write  an article about yarl restaurant's air and noise pollution program. What should I write today? Well, it is one of my neighbours who actually gave me the idea of what I should write about today. Yesterday, one of my neighbours (an old lady) came to see me. Guess what she said? She said that both she and her husband couldn't sleep because at around 5.00 a.m. every morning, yarl restaurant's workers are already making a lot of noise chopping chicken, pounding chilly, and dragging the gas tanks around. (It never occurred to me that chopping chicken, pounding chilly and pushing the gas tanks around can also be also be a form of noise pollution because I am more concerned with the kitchen hood noise). She said that she and her husband have to stay in the living room all the time to escape from the noise. The only time they enter their bedroom is at night after yarl restaurant turned off its noisy kitchen hood but since yarl restaurant starts making noise at 5.00 a.m. every morning, they find it very difficult to sleep in their bedroom. These poor old folks have to leave their bedroom at 5.00 a.m. every morning and sit in the living room the whole day until bedtime. Whenever I walk past their door (which is open most of the time, I see them sitting in the living room). In actual fact, their flat is not as near to yarl restaurant as mine so it seems that my family is suffering more that theirs. This old lady asked me to talk to yarl restaurant's boss and ask him to stop the noise. I told her to come together with me  and talk to him. Guess what she said? She said that she is scared and that it is not good for Indians to talk to Indians like that. She said that since I am Malay, it is better for me to confront yarl restaurant's boss and settle the matter with him. And of course there are those who said that it is useless complaining to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) because no one will take action. (Is it because Thilagenthiran a/l Somasundram is Indian and it is NOT nice for him to take any action against yarl restaurant? It is no wonder Thilagenthiran a/l Somasundram is not doing anything with yarl restaurant's air and noise pollution program. Who is Thilagenthiran a/l Somasundram? Click here to find out). I could remember some years back when my wife woke up at 5.00 a.m. to pound chilly with the pestle and mortar. The neighbors above us immediately took a piece of wood and struck my awning repeatedly whilst shouting at us telling us to stop because they wanted to sleep. Why is it that they dare not do the same to yarl restaurant? So my readers, this is the state of mind / attitude of yarl restaurant's victims i.e. they are suffering day and night but they dare not voice out. They want others to voice out for them. Those who suffer most are the old folks and young children as we cannot expect them to get up so early in the morning. What I write today is intended to be a message for all those who are suffering from yarl restaurant's air and noise pollution program, pleading them to work together to end their sufferings.

Dear yarl restaurant's air and noise pollution victims, do you enjoy
  1. being waken up from your deep sleep at 5.00 a.m. every the morning?
  2. being plagued by yarl restaurant's loud and thunderous kitchen hood noise day and night?
  3. being chase out of your bedroom in the wee hours of the morning?
  4. not being able to enter your bedroom all the time i.e. only entering it after yarl restaurant turns off its noisy kitchen hood only to be chased out of your bedroom again before you could sleep enough?
  5. having your clothes soaked in curry each time you put them out to dry?
  6. having your bedroom windows closed all the time to reduce the noise created by yarl restaurant's noisy kitchen hood? Do you know how stuffy our bedrooms are because we cannot open the windows?
  7. sleep deprivation?
  8. being told when to sleep and when to wake up? (Many of us dare not go out late anymore even on a Saturday night because we know that we would be chased out of our bedroom in the wee hours of the Sunday mornings as yarl restaurant always turns on its noisy kitchen hood very early particularly on Sunday mornings i.e. the day when everyone hopes to sleep a little bit later than usual since they don't have to work on Sundays).
  9. resting on the sofa in the living room when you are sick because you can't enter your bedroom that is filled with yarl restaurant's kitchen hood noise?
My dear yarl restaurant's air and noise pollution victims. Are you going to endure these sufferings for a lifetime? If you don't want to suffer anymore, it is time we work together to put an end to our sufferings. Do not feel scared but speak up for your rights. Please remember that what I can do alone is very limited. In order to get rid of yarl restaurant's air and noise pollution program, we need to group together and demand for our rights i.e.
  1. ask yarl restaurant's boss to stop the noise
  2. ask for compensation for the sufferings and inconvenience that we have endured since yarl restaurant started operation in January 2013
  3. ask yarl restaurant's boss to pay for soundproofing in all our flats if he insists to make loud and thunderous noise
  4. ask yarl restaurant to move elsewhere to a place where its kitchen hood is not directly facing anyone's bedroom windows
