LAUGHTER is the best medicine, so the saying goes.
But can a tongue-in-cheek banner solve the toxic problem at a provision shop at Block 157, Meiling Street?
Provision shop owner Jackie Ng, 44, hopes so.
He and his staff are sick and tired of inhaling exhaust fumes emitted by vehicles 'waiting' in front of their shop.
The reason: Drivers leave their engines running while they pop in to the Singapore Pools outlet inside his shop to place their bets.
Of the four carpark lots there, two are meant for loading and unloading goods and two are lots for handicapped drivers.
Two weeks ago, Mr Ng hit on the idea of 'writing' the slogan.
the slogan reads"we want to kenna toto not cancer please switch off your engines"
in local speak it means we want to get a winning chance at lottery not a chance of cancer..
