I emailed this to my MP, Dr Intan Mokhtar - regarding the ripe mangoes on public property that no one is allowed to pluck or risk getting fined.
Dr Intan,
The Mangoes in our estate are a-bloomin’
and soon they will ripen
The residents are amazed by this year’s haul,
And wonder what’s gonna happen.
To the lovely fruits hanging on the trees,
we can only imagine how they tasted
Will they be harvested this year?
Or like last year, lie rotting and wasted.
In my sixteen years in this estate,
I’ve never enjoyed one fruit.
Did the RC that’s supposed to pick ‘em all
Keep ‘em all and didn’t distribute?
You see, the law forbids us to pick the goodies,
You’ll be fined for something so wrong
So if you really want a taste of Mango here,
You’d better get it from Sheng Siong.
So far, no response from her yet...
