The organisers of the recent #BERSIH4 rally decided to give officers from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) a helping hand in finding its head office in Petaling Jaya, by way of plastering its front gates with Bersih banners and even arrows.
Last week, DBKL officers seeking to serve Bersih 2.0 with a RM65,000 “cleanup bill” bungled their attempt and ended up delivering the bill to the wrong address, to much jeering from Malaysian netizens.
Yesterday, Bersih 2.0 committee member Mandeep Singh posted this image on his Facebook account:
Mandeep referred to Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Abdul Rahman Dahlan, who in the wake of the #BERSIH4 rally has become somewhat fixated on getting the organisers to pay for cleaning up the city centre.
Sure enough, the signs, printed addresses, and arrows did the trick, as DBKL officers did eventually find the residential unit and served Bersih 2.0 chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah with the bill:
This is, however, not to say that Bersih 2.0 will actually pay City Hall’s bill; the electoral reform movement had previously said that the responsibility of cleaning up the city after any major event or gathering was DBKL’s.
