A WOMAN saved her husband’s life but she perished together with their three-month-old baby in a fire that also destroyed 30 homes in the “Kek Leng San” (Kek Leng hill) squatter area at Jalan Pudu early yesterday.

NOBODY takes a after-dark stroll down the streets around Jalan Pudu without a heart-pounding fear of being robbed. We can now add another street to this list of unsafe places.

In April, Malay Mail highlighted the high number of snatch thefts and robberies at the "black triangle" of Jalan Changkat Thambi Dollah especially during weekends.

JENNY, a frequent shopper at The Store supermarket at Jalan Pudu, feels the outlet needs to improve its
customer service.

The past month, she says, she noticed the outlet had no shelf price tags, thereby troubling customers wanting
to know the prices of the goods, since prices are not listed on the products either.

That's not all, she says. On her recent visit there, the bar code price scanner also did not work.

WHAT better way to get through another day of scorching, muggy weather than with some juicy ripe
mangoes?

Here at Jalan Pudu, the scent of this delectable fruit wafting through the downtown smog would surely lure hungry pedestrians away from their frantic pace and well-worn routes.

Does it matter that it's an illegal set-up? No... not really. Does it matter that for RM7 you get 10 mangoes?
