THE GREATEST COVER UP OF THE CENTURY

 

This video is taken at 6.10 a.m. on Sunday, 13 April 2014 (Malaysia Time). After a hard week's work, everyone would love to get up a little bit later than usual on a Sunday morning. But for yarl restaurant's noise pollution victims, they have no choice but to leave their bedrooms whenever yarl restaurant turns on its loud and thunderous kitchen hood. 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. If you click on this video, you can see how serious this noise pollution is especially at such an early hour 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 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmwMf_3xltk&feature=youtu.be

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 an early hour in the morning? Is yarl restaurant allowed to make this kind of loud and deafening motor noise at 6.10 a.m. on a Sunday 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 whether turning on some kind of loud and deafening motor sound between 5.30 a.m. - 7.00 a.m. in the morning when the entire neighbourhood is so quiet that you can even hear a pin drop can be regarded as noise pollution. But first of all, let us see 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 one of the greatest jokes of the century entitled "THE GREATEST COVER UP OF THE CENTURY". 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:

1.Tarikh siasatan pada 29/10/2013@10.00mlm.

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

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 second 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?

Why is the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) covering up for yarl restaurant in such a fishy way?

 

This video was taken at 5.55 a.m. this morning when yarl restaurant's selfish and irresponsible boss turned on his loud and thunderous kitchen hood to chase everyone out of their bedrooms. In the above video, it is obvious that yarl restaurant's kitchen hood is above cemented ground. Why must the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) lied and said that it goes into the drain? Anything fishy going on?

This morning at 5.55 a.m., yarl restaurant's responsible boss once again turned on his loud and deafening kitchen hood to disturb the peace and serenity of the entire neighbourhood. Have you ever imagined how quiet and peaceful it is at 5.55 a.m. in the morning? 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 an early hour in the morning? Is yarl restaurant allowed to make this kind of loud and deafening motor noise at 5.55 a.m. when many people are still sleeping?

yarl restaurant is a mockery of Human Rights in Malaysia



This morning, at 5.50 a.m., yarl restaurant's loud and deafening kitchen hood noise can be heard like thunder outside our window as usual. (Above you can see a video of yarl restaurant taken at 5.50 a.m. this morning. You can also view this video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmPMckQIBMo&feature=youtu.be). 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 - 6 a.m. in the morning and you have no right to say or do anything about it! Even the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) says that there is no noise pollution when yarl restaurant's kitchen hood is making thunderous noise outside our bedroom windows everyday. Yarl restaurant is already making loud and thunderous noise all day long with its noisy kitchen hood but to make such loud and thunderous noise at such an early hour in the morning is a gross disregard for human rights. At this hour of the day when the entire neighbourhood is so quiet that you can even hear a pin drop and many people are still sleeping soundly, why does the DBKL allow yarl restaurant to make this kind of thunderous noise outside our bedroom windows and tell lies to cover up for yarl restaurant? I would really like to know how the DBKL defines noise pollution. If such loud and thunderous noise so early in the morning is not noise pollution, then what else can be noise pollution? 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 reply from DBKL:

Therefore their verdict is: No noise pollution. Anything 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? Yarl restaurant is operating 7 days a week. The video above clearly shows that the kitchen hood does not end in the drain and it is making thunderous noise at 5.50 a.m. in the morning. Beneath the kitchen hood, you can see cemented ground and not 'drain'.

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?

When my colleagues told me that they normally sleep until 9 a.m. if they start work at 2 p.m., I could feel my heart aching. I couldn't help envying them. I don't envy people who are richer than me. I don't envy people who are more successful than me. I don't envy people who are handsomer than me. But why envy people who could have enough sleep and sleep whenever they want? This is because I can't do the same. No matter what time I sleep the night before, I have to wake up when yarl restaurant starts making loud and deafening noise with its kitchen hood early in the morning. For a long time I have not been having enough sleep. For a long time I do not know what having enough sleep means. I only know that when yarl restaurant's selfish and irresponsible boss turns on his loud and deafening kitchen hood in the wee hours of the morning, I have to leave my bedroom immediately. I go to work sleepy and tired every day of my life. And my health is deteriorating because of yarl restaurant's kitchen hood noise.

Do you know how much pain I have to endure as a noise pollution victim?  Forcing my sleepy eyes to remain open and concentrate on what I was doing was really an uphill task. Sleepiness due to lack of sleep makes me unable to think properly and there are times when I don't know what I am doing. I become very forgetful and cannot even identify faces. There have been times when I was nearly knocked down by a car because I forgot to look left and right before I crossed the road. I feel dizzy at work with my head swinging due to lack of sleep. This is worse than physical torture in the fires of hell. I normally sleep 8-9 hours a day but now I have to do with 7 hours or even less. Does anyone have the right to stop someone from getting enough sleep? In Malaysia, anyone can have such a right. You can just rent a shop lot in any place, turn on your kitchen hood which is as loud as a diesel truck / thunder outside somebody's window at 5 - 6 a.m.in the morning to chase everyone out of their bedrooms and no one can stop you. Is this what is meant by "Malaysia Boleh" i.e. you can do anything in Malaysia? Where are our basic right as citizens of Malaysia?

Having to live up to yarl restaurant's noise pollution expectations is also an uphill task. I can no longer do many of the things that I used to so such as going out with friends after work, watching my favourite programs at night, calling friends at night, or even doing shopping after work. There is only one thing in mind, i.e. I must rush home as soon as I can after work to sleep and get up early because yarl restaurant's kitchen hood noise will chase me out of my bedroom at around 6 in the morning or perhaps even earlier than that. As I look back, I really yearn for the freedom that I have lost and will never have as long as yarl restaurant's kitchen hood is making loud and deafening noise outside my window.

Everyone takes freedom for granted but for the victims of yarl restaurant's noise pollution program, freedom is only an illusion. If yarl restaurant says, "Don't attend your company's annual dinner or watch football at night because you must wake up early next morning as my kitchen hood noise is going to chase you out of your bedroom at 5 - 6 a.m.", we have no choice but to obey. If yarl restaurant says, "You cannot visit your sick relative after work as you must rush home to sleep because you must wake up early as I'm going to chase you out of your bedroom with my kitchen hood noise in the wee hours of the morning",  In this era, even children wouldn't listen if you ask them not to watch football at night. But what about me, as an adult, who have to live up to yarl restaurant's noise pollution expectations? Do you know how stressful it is to be a noise pollution victim? It is worse than cancer. Even refugees are given the right to an adequate standard of living but as citizens of Malaysia, we have no such right! Even refugees have the right to have enough sleep but as a citizen of Malaysia, we have been denied such rights since yarl restaurant started operation in January 2013.

According to the United Nations on Human Rights, the right to an adequate standard of living requires, at a minimum, that everyone shall enjoy the necessary subsistence rights: adequate food and nutrition, clothing, housing and the necessary conditions of care when required. The essential point is that everyone shall be able, without shame and without unreasonable obstacles, to be a full participant in ordinary, everyday interaction with other people. Thus, people should be able to enjoy their basic needs in conditions of dignity. No one should have to live in conditions whereby the only way to satisfy their needs is by degrading themselves or depriving themselves of their basic freedoms, such as through begging, prostitution or forced labour.

 As a citizen of Malaysia, I have to live in shame and with unreasonable obstacles in the form of yarl restaurant's kitchen hood noise. I cannot be a full participant in ordinary, everyday interaction with other people. I can no longer go out with friends after work, visit sick relatives or attend wedding dinners at night as I have to rush home to sleep because yarl restaurant's kitchen hood noise will chase me out of my bedroom at 5 - 6 a.m. in the morning. I cannot enjoy my basic needs in conditions of dignity. In actual fact, I have no dignity now. I am only a slave to yarl restaurant's noise pollution program. For months I have been fighting for the right not be waken up by yarl restaurant's loud and deafening kitchen hood noise in the wee hours of the morning but this right is still being denied to me. I am living in conditions whereby yarl restaurant' is depriving me of my basic freedoms, such as chasing me out of my bedroom with its kitchen hood noise early in the morning at 5- 6 a.m., depriving me of sleep, preventing me from going out with friends, attending dinners, doing shopping, and watching football at night. These are the things that many people take for granted but do you know that I am fighting desperately and in vain just to have these basic freedoms restored to me?

Yarl restaurant is the most painful experience in our lives

Yarl restaurant's workers busy preparing food in their open air kitchen on Sunday, 6 April 2014.

This morning, at 5.55 a.m., yarl restaurant's loud and deafening kitchen hood noise can be heard like thunder outside our window as usual. 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 a diesel truck outside your window at 5 - 6 a.m. in the morning and you have no right to say or do anything about it!

When my colleagues told me that they normally sleep until 9 a.m. if they start work at 2 p.m., I could feel my heart aching. I couldn't help envying them. I don't envy people who are richer than me. I don't envy people who are more successful than me. I don't envy people who are handsomer than me. But why envy people who could have enough sleep and sleep whenever they want? This is because I can't do the same. No matter what time I sleep the night before, I have to wake up when yarl restaurant starts making loud and deafening noise with its kitchen hood early in the morning. For a long time I have not been having enough sleep. For a long time I do not know what having enough sleep means. I only know that when yarl restaurant's selfish and irresponsible boss turns on his loud and deafening kitchen hood in the wee hours of the morning, I have to leave my bedroom immediately. I go to work sleepy and tired every day of my life.

Do you know how much pain I have to endure as a noise pollution victim?  Forcing my sleepy eyes to remain open and concentrate on what I was doing was really an uphill task. Sleepiness due to lack of sleep makes me unable to think properly and there are times when I don't know what I am doing. Sleep deprivation can even cause accidents. This is worse than physical torture in the fires of hell. I normally sleep 8-9 hours a day but now I have to do with 7 hours or even less. Does anyone have the right to stop someone from getting enough sleep? In Malaysia, anyone can have such a right. You can just rent a shoplot in any place, turn on your kitchen hood which is as loud as a diesel truck outside somebody's window at 5 - 6 a.m.in the morning to chase everyone out of their bedrooms and no one can stop you. Is this what is meant by "Malaysia Boleh" i.e. you can do anything in Malaysia?

Having to live up to yarl restaurant's noise pollution expectations is also an uphill task. I can no longer do many of the things that I used to so such as going out with friends after work, watching my favourite programs at night, calling friends at night, or even doing shopping after work.

BACTERIA ON RUBBISH LANE WHERE FOODS ARE PREPARED

In the above photo, you can see the garbage bins near . Click on the yarl restaurant's photo to enlarge it. You can see yarl restaurant next to the second car. There is an arrow on top of the car pointing to yarl restaurant's noisy kitchen hood. You can click THE GREAT COVER UP: MALAYSIAN STYLE to view a video of yarl restaurant. Below is a photo of how food is prepared in yarl restaurant on rubbish lane. Here you can see yarl restaurant's kitchen hood clearly. To the right of the kitchen hood is yarl restaurant's open air kitchen. The door of yarl restaurant's kitchen is wide open and the foods to be prepared and containers to be washed are dumped in this 'open air kitchen' on rubbish lane next to the drain.

 

In the photo below, you can see the table where yarl restaurant's workers prepare food outside the kitchen. This is also where the flat dwellers like to dump rubbish. This photo is taken from the video of yarl restaurant taken on 1 March 2014 at 5.45 a.m. when yarl restaurant's boss turned on his loud and deafening kitchen hood.

 

This morning, yarl restaurant's selfish and irresponsible boss turned on his loud and deafening kitchen hood at 5.55 a.m. As usual, after being wakened up by this loud and deafening noise, I can't sleep anymore even though I am extremely tired and sleepy because there was a family outing yesterday and I slept late last night since today is my day off. In fact, I should be sleeping now and not writing this article. I am very, very, very, very, very tired and sleepy now but even on my day off I can't sleep in my bedroom. Once yarl restaurant's noisy kitchen hood is turned on, it is no use trying to sleep by covering my ears with 2 pillows. The loud and deafening kitchen hood noise can still be heard clearly even if I press two pillows hard onto our ears. What should I do now after being waken up by yarl restaurant's loud and deafening kitchen hood noise? Since it is not possible for me to sleep anymore, I would like to share another article with my readers. (Please take note that whatever I write is supported by evidence and the relevant documentation. I have many videos of yarl restaurant's kitchen hood making noise before 6 a.m. and at around midnight. They are not published because they are not properly taken but they can still be used as evidence. What I mean is these videos do not look that good and are quite shaky but I believe that my son will be able to take better videos in the future. I have also got many photos of yarl restaurant which I will publish in the future with my blog articles).

The question for today is: What do we normally find in the garbage bins? Please take note that when the Alam Flora workers empty the bins, they do not wash them and there are many decaying leftovers sticking to the bins for goodness knows how long. Results from the study by researchers at one of the world's leading waste management centres showed that garbage bins could be a breeding ground for a host of bacteria associated with some of the most devastating stomach bugs including salmonella, e.coli, legionella, clostridium and deadly listeria. The truth is there are many garbage bins near yarl restaurant and the workers of this restaurant like to prepare food outside the kitchen (probably because the kitchen is too small to accommodate the table that they use to prepare food). Just imagine what will happen when foods are prepared on the same lane where the garbage bins are and that these garbage bins are near to yarl restaurant!

Rotting food also proved a fertile breeding ground for flies. With so many garbage bins, the presence of flies is inevitable in this rubbish lane where yarl restaurant's kitchen is located (as aforementioned, the table that yarl restaurant's workers use to prepare food is put outside the kitchen which is near to the garbage bins).

It is also found that the risk to human health became an issue when the householder did not use bin bags or when bags split, exposing contents to vermin, such as rats, and flies. The are many scavengers making a living on this lane who would tear up the garbage bags to find out what they can get out of them. That's why there are so many big, fat, black rats running all over the place!

And of course the levels of bacteria and fungal spores produced by decaying waste are certainly higher in streets with lots of garbage bins. This is the lane where yarl restaurant's foods are prepared! More at When dirty foods are OK for Malaysians.

 

Any bacteria in the garbage bins near yarl restaurant?

In this picture, you can see the garbage bins near yarl restaurant. Click on the photo to enlarge it. You can see Yarl restaurant next to the second car. There is an arrow on top of the car pointing to yarl restaurant's noisy kitchen hood.

This morning, yarl restaurant's selfish and irresponsible boss turned on his loud and deafening kitchen hood at 5.57 a.m. As usual, after being wakened up by this loud and deafening noise, I can't sleep anymore even though I am extremely tired and sleepy. I worked until 10 p.m. last night and could only managed to sleep at midnight. With only 6 hours of sleep, my health is really deteriorating. Why start a blog and Facebook for yarl restaurant? Why write so many articles for yarl restaurant? Do you think I have nothing to do? I am the kind of person who does not even have the time to look at myself in the mirror. Then why spend so much time writing about yarl restaurant? The answer is: If the sufferings that yarl restaurant is causing my family are not so serious, we wouldn't take the trouble to do so many things. In fact, I should be sleeping now and not writing this article. I am very, very, very, very, very tired and sleepy now. But once yarl restaurant's noisy kitchen hood is turned on, it is no use trying to sleep by covering our ears with 2 pillows. The loud and deafening kitchen hood noise can still be heard clearly even if we press two pillows hard onto our ears. What should we do now after being wakened up by yarl restaurant? My children are now sleeping in the living room. My wife can't sleep anymore and she is cooking breakfast in the kitchen. As for me, what should I write today? Well, let me share my plight with the world through my writings. In actual fact, every article in this blog is written in great pain. Why is it so? I am yarl restaurant's noise pollution victim who is suffering from lack of sleep every day of my life and I find it very stressful. Having to endure loud and thunderous noise every moment of my life is the most painful experience for me. I have to endure loud and thunderous noise all the time and I can't even stay in my bedroom. It's just like being hell. Oh my God, how long will this hell last?

Today, let us take a look at the garbage bins near yarl restaurant and see what we can find in them! (Please take note that whatever I write is supported by evidence and the relevant documentation. I have many videos of yarl restaurant's kitchen hood making noise before 6 a.m. and at around midnight. They are not published because they are not properly taken but they can still be used as evidence. What I mean is these videos do not look that good and are quite shaky but I believe that my son will be able to take better videos in the future. I have also got many photos of yarl restaurant which I will publish in the future with my blog articles).

Now, let us come back to the garbage bins near yarl restaurant. What do we normally find in the garbage bins?

VIDEOS OF YARL RESTAURANT'S LOUD AND DEAFENING KITCHEN HOOD

 

After being wakened up by yarl restaurant's loud and deafening kitchen hood at 5.55 a.m. this morning when I am still so sleepy and tired after having worked late last night, I have no choice but to share some videos of yarl restaurant with my readers. Below is a video taken early yesterday morning (3 April 2014) when yarl restaurant's selfish and irresponsible boss turned on his loud and deafening kitchen hood at 5.45 a.m. You can also view this video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88sA0Xx3pjc

This is what we have to endure from the wee hours of the morning (sometimes as early as 5.20 a.m.) till night (sometimes until midnight). Where are our basic human rights? Why must we suffer in such an inhumane way in Malaysia? Yarl restaurant is already making loud and deafening noise with its kitchen hood day and night to such an extent that we cannot stay in our bedrooms (yarl restaurant's loud and deafening kitchen hood is just outside our bedroom windows). Why is it that we are NOT even allowed to sleep? We can only pray that the public would sympathize with us and put an end to yarl restaurant's air and noise pollution program so that we don't have to live in such inhumane conditions anymore. Since January 2013 when yarl restaurant started operation, our lives are filled with kitchen hood noise day and night and this kitchen hood noise even intrudes into our sleep and prevents us from having enough sleep. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture for prisoners of war and criminals. We are not prisoners of war or criminals so why should we endure sleep deprivation? Would peace ever dawn on us again?
