Confessions of a City Slicker

The signs were hung up prominently enough and an announcement was made. The message couldn’t be clearer - NO CAMERAS, NO RECORDING.

But do Penang langs ever listen to instructions? Have they ever been good at listening to instructions?

From my vantage point hiding behind a service door at the back of the ballroom before making my grand entrance for the opening dance number, I spy at least 5 cameras already rolling away.

That was just a view from the doorway. Who knows how many more were doing the same thing on the other side of the room that I couldn’t see.

E mentioned during one of our committee meetings that in other places, when people say no cameras, it means no cameras. People wouldn’t even dare sneak one in or turn it on even if they had one at hand.

Penang langs take an exception to that. We do whatever we want, don’t we?
