City Hall must be joking!!!

Reading the news City Hall: It is beyond our jurisdiction to act against cybercafes with tinted glass and the subsequent letter written by me Bar tinted glass at Internet cafes I cannot believe that City Hall and other local authorities have made the excuse that it is beyond their jurisdiction not to allow massage parlours and Cybercafes to have tinted glasses on their doors to "hide' the activities happening inside. Let us make something clear. The issue of a business permit for the premise comes from the Local Authority or City hall, and it is accepted that certain conditions are always stipulated for compliance, or the licence can be withdrawn. What is the difficulty for City hall to stipulate that the Cybercafe or Massage parlour must operate in conditions that are easily visible or accessible to the public and the authorities, and NO effort must be made to hide or avoid such activities from being observed by the public. Such conditions to the licences conform to reasonable Moral requirements of our society. Failure to comply can mean the forfeiture of the licence. The excuses "cooked" up by City Hall that MCMC is "in charge" is laughable at best, and is the worst example of an indifferent Govt at its worst...

Come on, why are we having KPIs when such nonsense is continuously being perpetuated?
