Kasturi Restaurant - A reflection of Malaysian urbanite lifestyles

Kasturi Restaurant located somewhere in Bandar Sri Damansara. A place where ordinary peoples of various walk of life from surrounding area go for their breakfast and lunch. It is just another ordinary restaurant. But in one corner there sit several Bandar Sri Damansara folks every morning, chatting about many things from their own personal problems right up to local Malaysian and world politics. Sometimes it could heat up and tense, sometimes it is just a casual talk and even sometimes just a drop by to say 'hello'.

Over there almost every morning you could see various opinions flowing freely, no sign of worry of Internal Security Act, Official Secret Act, Police Act or whatever acts. They just released them out and stated their stand over certain issues firmly. No standing order, no speaker and no chairman.

But at times the corner would be so quiet. Nobody around. Perhaps they were fast asleep or have gone out to work or to do some other stuffs outside. But if you realized most the decisions that affecting the community especially the Muslims community were made there.
