Arogab Turbocharged November 17, 2021 Share November 17, 2021 I wonder where are his children? At the next level, where is the authorities? Not catching him but how authorities can help him not do this for the payment. If he do this for his own expenses, I am sure the people that support him will also willing do it. But why need to do this to pay for his treatment? I don't get it. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My workplace nearby void deck has a cobbler uncle working here for years. He has a tape demarcated area. I think it's sanctioned one. Cobbler dun need much space ; just five foot way (like the space they used to give in Sungei road market.... like agak agak 2m x 2m is enuff) but for bike repairing bikes need lotsa space and dirt/ grease and parts can fly here and there too with hammering bolts ) 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if worn only replacement. Plus a bit of adjustment for brake/shifters, lubricants. All straight forward. Just need a few cheap special tools.

Hamburger Hypersonic November 17, 2021 Share November 17, 2021 (edited) A case of doing more harm than good to report it. Dong biz at a void deck set the wrong precedent and might lead to others follow suit. Such reporting is seriously dumb and lacked consideration for consequences that might be precepitated.

No lah, I have seen 'fortune teller' housed in covered walkway with licence given for 'under privileged'. He even smoke, litters and block the pathway with table and chairs. It depends. I would rather suggest they assign a proper location in the void deck that will not hinder with public pathway. If the shop units can have marked out additinal spaces, sure this can be done.

Unless changing tyres, will need more physical strength. Collecting cardboard is more physical demanding and weather dependent. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All bolts & nuts niah I dont , actually though I can do it myself, last few years with back issues .... i take it easy ........ cheaper to just let him do it Yes he is a grumpy fella.... but we are used to it, I mean by flying he knocks here n there with mallet or hammer (depending on the part) can be like a feet or two 🤣....... but sure need proper space (he uses cardboards for his workspace so as to not to dirty the common areas)......... bike chains can be really dirty 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
