It's not me suddenly having a negative view of this practice, most certainly I am against it for a very long time, regardless of the race involved or the nature of the event.
I am certainly shocked by the ktard who said the local council grants permits for such shenanigans ie it may not be illegal.
I am against totally against it n no permits shd be granted at all; just make it illegal to do so. No exceptions.
It's impossible that there's no suitable venue for whatever the event the house owner wants to hold.
If cost or distance is an issue n the house owner die die must do it in his house, then he must scale down the event to suit the size of his house n compound. Not take over a public road n be a nuisance to the neighbourhood.
While I do think it's rude, selfish, moronic and uncivil to do this, the better solution is not to allow it at all in the first place; instead of being "polite" / apologetic whilst still knowingly being a nuisance.
Doing renovations is different - it's on the owner's own property. He's not doing renovations on a public road. I'm pretty sure the owner is not allowed to build his private bathroom in the middle of the road fronting his house.
Mind you, I hate this practice n do think badly of those who do it but it's impossible for me to hate all those who do it right? So pls don't project your thoughts onto me.
so what you mean in Malaysia, no one should utilize public road that will block private properties for private purpose (even after apply permit)?
including rally, event, and celebration?
then I'm sure you hate Bersih rally very much? Since it blocked a lot of roads, making all business has to close down on that day, which is "rude, selfish, and moronic" according to your definition. and Bersih have no permit to use public road as well.
No, no country in this world totally block people from utilizing public road for event/rally/celebration.
If whole world are doing it, I don't see why Malaysians cannot do it.
My advise if you can't accept this is not to have any neighbours then.
