A RESIDENT of Jalan Bukit Desa in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur, has once again resorted to blocking a portion of the road in front of his home to show his exasperation with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
FOUR years after being repeatedly ignored by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) regarding a land encroachment issue on his property, a frustrated house owner decided to take matters into his own hands, and the results were swift.

Charlie’s Café has two big missions: to empower the indigenous community in East Malaysia, and help the underprivileged in the community.
These are not goals that can be achieved easily, but owners Desonny Tuzan and Debra Leong are determined to keep their social enterprise-modelled restaurant running – even with difficulties brought on by the Movement Control Order (MCO).
Giving back to the community, one dish at a time
Desonny and Debra have always wanted to do something that can deliver positive impact to the communities around them.
“We use our talents – my wife and I – to set up a food and beverage (F&B) business specialising in comfort food, like laksa, nasi lemak, and chicken chop,” explained Desonny. There’s no doubt about the East Malaysian couple’s culinary talents, as Charlie’s Café is said to serve one of the best chicken chops in town.
