Thosai telur for DIG in front of his home

WargaAMAN also says the thosai stall will be set up outside the house of Deputy Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar.

PETALING JAYA: Deputy Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar will have his thosai telur but it will be served in front of his house.

The movement dubbed WargaAMAN says its will go ahead with its plan to set up a stall and provide free thosai in front of the home of Khalid in Taman Bukit Teratai, Ampang, on Sunday.

“There is no question about it. We will set up the stall in front of his [Khalid's] house,” said WargaAMAN’s secretary, S Barathidasan.

He said this in response to Khalid’s suggestion that WargaAMAN set up the stall at a nearby field since his house is located on a slope.

“I live in a terrace house, so setting up a stall outside my house will disrupt traffic flow and pose an inconvenience to my neighbours,” Khalid said yesterday after he heard of the movement’s intention to set up the stall.

WargaAMAN insisted it is setting up the stall to promote thosai as a national heritage food and has nothing to do with the burger stall set up by some traders in front of Bersih co-chairperson S Ambiga’s house last week.

Last Thursday, a group of burger sellers staged a protest in front of Ambiga’s house by distributing 200 burgers.

In response, Khalid had said that the burger stall protesters did not flout the law when they set up shop outside Ambiga’s home.

Meanwhile, Barathidasan promised Khalid that he will have a sumptuous breakfast of egg thosai with dhall, chutney and chicken curry.

However, the others would be served with plain thosai, dhall, chutney and mineral water.

Yesterday, Khalid made a personal request, saying he preferred “thosai telur”.

Barathidasan said the breakfast would be held in buffet style.

“Everyone would have to stand and eat,” he said, adding that three cooks would be making the thosai for an estimated crowd of 1,000.

He also said that dustbins would be provided to ensure the guests would not litter the place.
