Smoking out the defenders of smoking in public

Clearing the air: Sabah Health Department officials on their rounds to ensure eatery operators have put up no smoking signs.

LET’S imagine a scenario.

I am sitting at a mamak restaurant, sipping on my teh tarik (kurang manis, of course). While waiting for my roti canai banjir to arrive, I hear annoying squawks and spy a murder of crows lined up on a branch at a nearby tree. I take out my gun and let off a carefully aimed shot. I go back to my teh tarik as a dead bird plonks onto the ground, his friends having flown off in disarrayed panic.
