My Roving Eye 2

A picture speaks a “Thousand Words”…………..

I had a slow walk through a few of the lorongs one evening last week. The situation looks bleak for the myriad of the coffee-shops, restaurants , eating places, watering holes etc. It was mostly devoid of customers (as above).

All the Ah Peks were  sitting mostly  by themselves without their usual chirpy companions, although there still a handful. But these looked like from the bottom of the barrel.

At last I found the reason……..there were some police vehicles stationed along the back lanes of lorongs 18 & 20. Police personnel were walking around with a strong presence. All the back alley activities like selling of porno cds, enhancement medicines, gambling , duty free cigarettes also disappeared.

I think this “Correction” may last for a while yet………but the BIG QUESTION ON EVERYONE’S MIND IS…………….WHERE HAVE ALL THE BIRDIES GONE??
