Ang Pow Tree N me

I guess i got hyped over during the Ang Pow Tree thing so i stopped to take some photo so i can camwhore it.Little did i know that i got ambushed by a reporter from the Star and the China Press. I was trying hard to avoid them close to me cause i was smelling like a sock since i just got back down after a grueling 3 hours climb from Peanag hill.


The reporter ask me a bunch of tricky questions mainly on how i felt about the tree and the behaviour of the people there.

Reporter: How to u feel about the resident attitute to the ang pow tree ?
Me: Everyone is entitle to thier beliefs and oppinions. I klnda like what they did to the tree, looks much more beautiful with ang pow fluttering in the breeze. Like a giant Santa Clause.

Reporter: Have u heard about the council to fine anyone hanging ang pow on the tree?
Me: No. But not suprising. MPPP has always have funny policy which cause it to be in the limelight than to clean public toilets, mend the road and fix street light.


IMHO the tree is harmless, those people are harmless, if Hongkies can have their Couples Tree why can;t Penangies have their Ang Pow Tree. Silly of MPPP to trying to impose fine and cut down tree because of some silly notions that we are destroying public propety. If we can put more ang pows to bus stands, phone booths and toilets it will definately look better.
Just my two sens
