The owner said she's been operating since 2006 in Selayang. OK.. fine... its not under DBKL jurisdiction. But The Malay Mail reporting team reported that the AK-47 Nasi Kandar Restaurant at Jalan Sultan Ismail (yes! its under DBKL now) has been operating since 2009!
4 years and only now DBKL??? It was reported that Kuala Lumpur Mayor DAtuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib said,
“... the signboard was “clearly illegal”. It is offensive, insensitive and wrong. You cannot put up a signboard at an eatery with a picture of a rifle as it is not allowed and not part of our guidelines. The owners will definitely have to take it down."
So Mr. Mayor, what's the guidelines and why was it approved in the first place?
I wonder what the Registrar of Companies (ROC) has to say about the name as well. Perhaps it was registered under a different company.
