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

no one is forcing u at gun point to live there

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.

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.
*
Choose a place where the kitchen hood is not facing people's bedroom windows. If the kitchen hood is facing people's kitchen or bathroom, no one will complain. A very clear example is the Vogue Restaurant nearby. It has been operating for years but no one will complain about the noise from its kitchen because its kitchen is facing people's kitchen.

Who move in first? If you move in later, there is not much you can do. The other thing is beside you, are there a lot of other ppl complaining?

Next time, consider buying a bungalow. But then, it can be very quiet and also a lot of thieves.
*
I moved in decades ago. Yarl restaurant only started operation in January this year (2013). Although many people are complaining either to DBKL or to yarl, it is only effective for one or two days. After that, Yarl would turn on the kitchen hood at its maximum capacity and leave the kitchen door open to release more curry particles into the air. It would also start operating earlier and earlier.

Fajr is 5:49 and sunrise is 6:57. So theoretically, he can get up at 6:45am and still make it with plenty of time to spare. It takes only 3-5 minutes.

ada satu mangsa noise pollution dah panggil polis, polis datang tak boleh buat apa pun. hanya give advise, lepas itu council pun bagi advise tak boleh buat apa pun,

pasal no actual law for noise pollution act in the country. in fact the greatest joke of them all the law for other issue also cannot be apply wonder why?  corruption is still at large - check they dared to claimed we bribed them u think u can win? we are rich u think u can win? gee... beggars claimed rich? just becoz got a dumb idiot got datukship.

now is there a law against datukship bodoh who pretend no one is actually using his dumb dog for noise pollution as per one blogger? why never strip of dumb datukship title who broke the law in the country.

now a few minutes ago while reading the blog of the blogger they still hit the dog to made him bark non-stop.should these jokers be prosecuted for crimes yes but malaysian law does not apply. and these jokers deserve mental ward becoz cannot understand english was the main reason and now to get 4d numbers or block someones luck, how  dumb. they even played firecracker to ward off bloggers luck and lots more.after reading u too will wanna be the hero to teach this dumb ******* a lesson. uneducated and also upbringing prblem.

best of luck and yes, i still believe the noise pollution law will see a new light sometime soon, right MR PM? Rakyat didahulukan?

I know that this is a losing battle but I will still fight for my rights. If our country cannot solve its own problem (and such a minor one too), then let this problem be solved by other countries. In Australia, a couple was fined $4000 for noise pollution because their wild lovemaking caused vibrations that disturbed their neighbours (more @ Yarl restaurant's boss should be fined for noise pollution. In Bolehland - apa pun boleh buat. Buat bising awal pagi - boleh. Buat bising lewat malam - boleh. Ganggu jiran dengan bunyi bising - boleh. Buat bising sepanjang hari - boleh. Malaysia boleh! People first!

About twentyyears ago, aircrafts of various sizes roar over Subang Jaya on its way to land in or after taking off from Subang International Airport. I grew up under the roar of the jets when I slept and when I woke up for school. I got used to the noise and never got bothered by it. Sometimes I looked forward to hearing them and rushed to the window to see what aircraft was passing by. My siblings were also not bothered by the noise. It is a matter of adjusting and getting used to the noise. But if it really bothers you so much, then think about moving unless you don't have a choice.

•Airplanes—It’s been well-documented that noise pollution from airplanes has a significant negative impact on the health and wellbeing of those who live close to airports. This can include heart disease, high blood pressure and chronic stress. (Airplanes do not make noise continuously but yarl restaurant's kitchen hood noise is continuously emitting noise and curry particles to pollute our bedrooms. The situation in my bedroom is worse than the airport - it never cross my mind that airplanes can cause noise pollution although I have been to the airport many times. I only discover what noise pollution means from yarl restaurant's kitchen hood).

When some MY'ns,including opposition politicians,complain about the loud free alarm clock and 3-4 hours of continuous loud blaring of taped sermons (esp'ly on weekends and they will do it from 6-10am,on purpose or what I dun know) etc why do they get into trouble with certain authorities? I dun care bcs I've got used to it. What's your take on this kind of noise pollution?
*
If it is just 3-4 hours, it doesn't matter so much. Yarl restaurant's kitchen hood is making noise at an average of 17 hours a day and this is what is killing us.

Remember when I told you earlier about the McD with the very loud kitchen hood that made me think of you? The next time I went there a week later, they already replaced it. I only went there about a week later. The probably replaced it much earlier. It's only your nemesis that'll keep using the spoilt hood for months and years.
*
The problem is yarl restaurant's boss has no intention to replace his defective kitchen hood even though he lied to Fong Kui Lun's assistant that he would but did nothing about it. That was more than 3 months ago. Action speaks louder than words. Every morning when he turns on his loud and deafening kitchen hood, it is as though he is saying:

"Hey, you fools, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP. I want to make big bucks today. I want to turn on my loud and deafening kitchen hood now because it cannot function properly without making loud and deafening noise so please leave your bedrooms immediately. I will only lower the volume of my kitchen hood whenever anyone comes to check on my restaurant. When no one is there to check on me, I will turn on my kitchen hood to its maximum capacity. I don't care how my kitchen hood noise is affecting you. I only want to do business and make lots of money. If you can't stand my kitchen hood noise, you can shift elsewhere. If you want to stay here, you must bear all the sufferings that my noise pollution program is causing you with fortitude. In this lawless cowboy town, I am the law and I can do what I want. Even the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) people can't do anything to me. If these DBKL fellows ever come to check on my restaurant, I'll just show them the speaker and tell them that the speaker is the kitchen hood and they will believe me. No one can do anything to me. I am in control here because I own a restaurant."

Thanks for your advice. DBKL and DOE are playing a football game. At last DBKL sent me an email saying that it's alright to disturb everyone in the neigbourhood all the time with loud and deafening noise as long as the source of noise is inside your house. You can read the email here: Kuala Lumpur City Hall: The Greatest Joke on Earth

I have taken some videos but the problem is they are taken from my balcony and it is not difficult to know which flat I stay in from the position where the videos are taken. Do you know what kind of person yarl restaurant's boss is? Read his comment for KUALA LUMPUR HALL: THE GREATEST JOKE ON EARTH and find out. I've also cut and paste his comment here. Here it goes:

Anonymous9 February 2014 02:49

So, lu cari pasal dekat itu kopitiam?! Lu pernah kena penampar kangkung?!


Any suggestions how the videos can be taken in an invisible manner? By the way, what is "penampar kangkung"?

i would agree with you on work that someone can stay focus regardless of distraction happend arround. Sleeping is different, someone is really a light sleeper where they will awake with very minor noise.

Thanks for your comment. The problem is when we want to sleep we couldn't because yarl restaurant is still making noise with its loud and deafening kitchen hood. Then, early next morning when we are still in our deep sleep, yarl restaurant would turn on its loud and deafening kitchen hood to chase us out of our bedrooms!

Are you trying to say that the workers shouldn't use the toilet inside the restaurant as it is better for them to piss into the drain outside the restaurant and then prepare foods next to this drain? Please click here to see the latest dirty photos of yarl restaurant.
