Despite latest regulation, many still puff away openly at parks and R&R

No issue: Many people were either unaware of the ruling or found no problem smoking at parks and R&R.

KUALA LUMPUR: It was another cloudy afternoon when office workers hung out at the popular KLCC park, puffing away at the end of lunch hour, oblivious to the smoking ban there.

Many were seen sitting on a bench and at the steps near the water fountain, smoking.
