The pavements the streets of Malaysia (mostly in towns) are being blocked by hawker stalls and tables etc. This makes walking to places a stone's throw away highly dangerous as cars fly by at break-necking speed. So Malaysians prefer to drive to the destination (rather than walk) and this causes congestion, traffic jams, double parking, pollution, space constraints etc. Walking is one of the best forms of exercise and road side hawking is hazardous to health as the food is contaminated by dust, fumes, etc. And the health ministry wonders why less and less Malaysians are exercising and more Malaysians falling sick - making free medicine and treatments offered by government-run-hospitals costing billions of taxpayers' money each year.
Should the health officers do something?
