IT was a wet, wet morning when I woke up at 7am. Looking out from the balcony of my condominium unit in Bandar Baru Ayer Itam fa­­cing Penang Hill, I saw an empty road in front of the All Seasons Place mall.

That was strange. Lebuhraya Thean Tek, the main artery in the township, is usually congested from 6.45am until 9am.
