One Bangsar vs The People

Round 2. Six years ago, a group of Bangsar residents

came out strongly to protest the development of a row of food
and more food outlets right at their doorsteps. They lost the www.twitter.com/malaymail

Dato' Rocky,

I was a resident of Bangsar until I left for an overseas stint.

Now that I am back in Malaysia I see that Bangsar has really
transformed into something that I could never imagine.

On one hand it has become a chic area while on the other it

has certainly caused a lot of misery to the residents! I truly
symphatise with the residents. As for me, looks like I have to
move out from Bangsar as the ambiance that I was used too is
gone!

I back One Bangsar one million per cent. It's time the
