I don't know about you guys, but I always find it difficult to find a decent eatery in the industrial area. It needs more places for people to eat and that's why I suspect these illegal eating joints popped up. Authorities always stomping on the already trampled while those who really need to be brought into line are free to do as they like.
Expect the expected, they need to concentrate the buyers under these newly opened establishments - malls and supermarkets nearby.
its the poor man who pays..the world over..each time..every time..
But no rain now ....:(
Then the only option is to recruit such workers in some offices and live happily.
Whilst it is a good move to do away with illegal businesses, they were also providing much needed services to the workers. So , what will be done to help the workers now ?
