An encroaching neighbour

'Give them an inch, they want a foot'. This is public land next to the multi-purpose hall of the Indian temple. But it is in front of our two semi-detached houses. If it is such a nice landscape, why not have it in front of your own house?


By keeping quiet, it was taken as acquiescence, so it was extended to this...


Again, no complaint from us meant acceptance of their intrusion... the bullock cart came to deliver another load of earth...

An oil drum was placed too.
I have lodged a complaint with Majlis Daerah Batu Gajah to see what could be done about this. Besides being an eyesore, the space taken up permanently means driving out our cars or reversing them is now becoming a hassle. It is alright having cars parked all over the front (some without consideration, like blocking the gates) when the hall was hired on occasions, but this is an eyesore which we have to face everyday!
