Of late, innovation has struck these people as well, with names such as 'OBCB Credit' and 'RBH Credit' popping up on their ads. Not only that, their ads have appeared hanging from overhead flyovers across major roads...Contents have even taken a "softer" tone, with some advertising: "We are not moneylenders, we just want to help you!" What a full load of crap i say...
On major roads, the road signs are not spared as well. Many have their directions obscurred by the ads...we are talking about about directions to hospitals and other amenities! Come on, this is definitely too much to swallow! Both new residental and commercial parks are not spared within weeks of opening. 'No Entry' signs, 'One Way Traffic' signs and even handicap parking lot signs are all defaced by these thugs.
It has become an ever increasing eye-sore to everyone, with the exception of people who could use with their services i suppose...These acts of vandalism, acts of defacement, are spreading like an epidemic across the country, from the heart of cities to the quiet countrysides. While we lament about the lack of infrastructure and the quality of the exisiting infrastructure, these irresponsible buggers couldnt care less and continue vandalising exisiting public property without any fear of the law. On the other hand, it is of interest if the law to tackle this problem or to tackle these illegal moneylenders even exist! So much "resource" has been put into arresting people accused of drinking or placing bets that are forbidden based on religious grounds... Heck, I don't see any efforts at all in tackling these vandals or the masterminds behind them!
Even with HUGE leads given in the form of phone numbers posted on these ads, there appears to be a severe lack of action taken against these vandals, or more correctly, illegal moneylenders. Of course, we cant just blame the authorities for the lack of action. The vandals, the main culprits, should be shamed in public with the posters pasted all over themselves for a start and then sent packing to jail to enjoy the curry rice and free accomodation there while getting massaged by the rotan. In addition, the printers that supply the ad materials should also not escape punishment. I say a severe fine and revoking of license to operate will be a good deterrence to the availability of these ads in the first place.
So much have been invested to erect our public facilities and so easily have they been destroyed. These vandalistic acts are definitely going to cost our public coffers (when the states DO take action) in efforts to restore the facilities to their original appearance.
