Impossible to operate

Dear Chairman and Friends,  2August 2013

Impossible to operate

On behalf of the shop-operators  in Sibu, I plead you not to impose such restriction that no tables are allowed to go 3 feet beyond the shops proper.  For other businesses, it may be possible but for  coffee shop operators, it is really impoooooooossible for the shop with 20’ X 50’/60’ in measurement.  It is understood that a coffee usually has so many stalls in operation at the same time and so there is limited space to put all the tables and chairs  in the shop.   

        Lately, I looked around to check and see the possibility if doing business as announced by SMC (Sibu Municipal Council).   I think our SMC Chairman and officers are out of touch of the reality and too much one-sided power to impose the rule.  I am afraid this will cause a big impact on the coffee shop operators whom I know face keen competition.  It is not people-centred, minded and friendly practices. 

        Don’t act abusive, please.   People pay for your salary and you take such a high position which I believe many eye it with so much desire .  Act wisely,   please if you still think the seat of SMC Chairman as a worthy position.  It will do you no good if you still insist in such an authoritative way.  We all know that you are disappointed /not happy for not being elected as a Parliamentary Member.  This is a Democratic country by law and so people have the rights to decide whom to choose to be our representatives.

Don’t force people to take law in their hands and act violent.  Don’t take my words as threat.    My words may sound harsh / unpleasant but this is the truth you face up to to stay on that position.
