Do you know that yarl restaurant's workers do not care about hygiene? Please click http://zorro2013questforjustice.blogspot.c...o-not-care.html to read more.

Dear Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak,
I don't know how to get this letter to you. After considering for a long time, I finally decided to post this letter online and make a link in your website and facebook so that you can get to read it. Guess this is the best way. If you care for your fellow Malaysians, you will take the trouble to read this.

Why am I so desperate to write to you? This morning (17 September 2013), as usual, I had to jump out of bed at 6.20 a.m. after working late last night when the restaurant turned on its kitchen hood. The noise is deafening and I can't sleep even though I am very sleepy and tired now. Will have to sleep on the sofa in the living room again today. I am just an ordinary citizen who yearns for 8 hours sleep each day but even this basic right is denied to me. After being plagued by noise from Yarl Restaurant for nine months to the extent that I can't take it anymore because my health and the well-being of my children are being seriously affected by this deafening noise from Yarl Restaurant, I am left without a choice but to write this letter to you in the hope that the appropriate action will be taken to bring back peace once more to the flat dwellers of Tong Fatt Building, Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad, Brickfields.

Datuk Seri, I don't need your BR1M and my children don't need your book vouchers. You can keep the money for nation building. I only want to have 8 hours sleep everyday so that I can do my work properly and my children only want to study peacefully in their rooms. But sad to say, even this most basic right is denied to us. With the restaurant emanating loud and continuous noise all the time I can't even sleep properly and have to go to work sleepy and tired everyday. Whenever my wife puts out the clothes to dry, the clothes are soaked in curry because the air is contaminated with curry. Our rooms are also filled with curry smell. What is even worse is my children cannot study properly. My son is sitting for PMR this year whilst my eldest daughter is sitting for her SPM this year. They have to stay in the living room to do revision whilst their maternal grandmother is watching TV and their neighbours are listening to songs. How can we build a strong 1 Malaysia nation if our children can't even have a proper place to study? What is even sadder is my children now prefer to stay away from home as much as possible because of the noise. They cannot go into their rooms in the daytime to do school work or even to read a book. In the past, they used to read in the balcony but can't do so now or they will end up deaf because the noise from the restaurant is really deafening. They have stopped doing the nilam program and have even resorted to copying the book summaries from their friends. Whenever they are in their room, they have to turn on some music to cover the noise from the kitchen hood. Recently, my son gave excuses that he wanted to study in his friend's house because of the noise from the kitchen hood and he ended up at Mid-Valley!


What will our children become if they don't even have a proper place to study and can't even stay at home? I fear that they will be influenced by their peers and get involve with a life of crime. If the Malaysian government is looking for ways to battle crime, this is the first thing that they have to look into. What would our children do if they can't stay in their own home to study? We are not rich and can't afford to buy another house. I hope that appropriate action will be taken for the future of our Malaysian children. By the way, the restaurant that is causing noise pollution is yarl restaurant. Below you can see the photo of the kitchen hood at the back of this restaurant. If the restaurant owner wants to do business, he can do so without disturbing others. I have started a Facebook on this yarl restaurant noise pollution program. The name of the Facebook is Pencemaran Bunyi di Brickfields. I have written another article on this issue entitled "Serious Noise Pollution in Brickfields" last Sunday (8 September 2013). You can find it at this link http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2951694 I have also written a letter to DBKL and this letter can be found at https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2975198
Thanks for taking the trouble to read this letter.

Yours Sincerely,
Hafizul

I grew up in a door right next to the railway tracks. As I lay down to sleep, the train pass just 10m from my head. All day and night, trains pass by, making a racket. I sleep just fine.

Today, I sleep very well, regardless of any noise around me. When I was studying, I can focus regardless of what goes on around me. It has continued into my work life. I'd just learned to tuned out the distractions around me.

Just pointing out the silver lining in the cloud. smile.gif

You probably don't want to hear this though.

If I could afford it, I certainly wouldn't live in this earthly hell! Ear plugs can cause ear infections. Why become deaf for the sake of yarl restaurant's selfish business?

you need to go viral, online & offline. Report to town council, report to health department, report to consumer tribunal, medias fb, tweeter, blog what so ever to gain enough attention. Put much effort to change you surrounding.

who really cares, most people have been complaining about free alarm clock for years, but since that one is constitutional, we can't do anything about it. At least you understand our predicament now.

BTW based on your name, shouldn't you be awake by 6am?

Thank you very much for your suggestions. This is what I intend to do. I would not let anyone suffer for all those who are making a selfish profit at the expense of others. I know its not much help writing to the PM. If he is willing to help, then it's a miracle. If he does not, it is something expected. But the most important thing is how this case is going to develop will reflect clearly on the kind of rights that Malaysians have. Just want the whole world to know about this.

May I ask what you're asking for?

1. close the shop and move it further away from homes

2. start operating later, maybe about 8 or 9am, and close earlier, about 6pm

3. replace the hood with a quieter one (or repair it, is it damaged, why is it so loud)

4. move the shop 2 or 3 units down, so that the hood is not directly opposite your home

5. make a law that will separate businesses and homes, so that no home is within 50m of a business. Businesses that run late or start early will then no longer disturb families from getting good rest at night and children will have a quieter place to study.

Noise pollution complaint is only applicable if the restaurant premise is a designated residential zone. If commercial zone, you can't do d***
