You take away all the noise, its no longer called thaipusam.
Just like you take away lion dance drums, its no longer lion
dances.
Here is the catch.
You think the
singaporean hindus will complain? no they won't, i tell you
why.
Most of them will go across the causeway and do their thaipusam.
Over the causeway, totally no restriction.
Which why, before all these rule there are already some
singapoeans going there to do.
So, with these new rules, more numbers they are going over
there to the thaipusam.
what happens when more singaporeans go over there and do? here
no people, no longer a tourist attraction.
Then only the people who set the rules will cry. mark my
words.
The usual ultimatum applies.
Accept the limitations or no Thaipusam.
Without a police permit, without traffic control and diversion,
without police officers controlling the crowd, how to hold
Thaipusam.
HEB would know how to nod the head, without any arms being
twisted.
