Now that fasting period is over, life is returning to normal in Jalan TAR.
A sure way to tell is by the number of parking bays available. During the fasting month we had to park right up to 5th floor but now we can park on the 2nd or 3rd floor.
Was quite amused to read this article in Harian Metro 24/8/2011about how there were 7,307 traffic and parking summons issued in the 3 short weeks of fasting.
We cannot really blame the public as Jalan TAR really lack parking bays. Hope that the newer buildings being constructed in the surrounding areas will allocate more parking bays in their design.
On the night of Raya on our way back home we also experience heavy traffic along Jalan Dang Wangi, just outside of Cap Square rear entrance. And we are not talking about normal hours but 2am midnight on raya night... How can there be traffic jam at such hours... Not only that there were many police personnel as well as ambulance on hand.
The cause of the massive jam - a luxurious Mercs with shattered rear windscreen with holes (which we suspect were bullet holes) on the road shoulder. I didnt think of taking photo cos I thought such accident would appear in the papers the next day but interestingly enough there were no news of it. How fishy...
Anyway that's just part and parcel of night life in KL.. Stay out late at your own risk so we are very glad that that part of our life is over.. well at least for this year.
So to all our muslim friends we wish you Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and after one full month of fasting, it's time to celebrate and really take the time to rekindle the bond cos you'll never know what will happen tomorrow.
