Lifted Manhole Covers Means " Wire Theft?"

On .....Persiaran Bercham Selatan 20...

 On my bike ride this morning I came across this lifted square man-hole cover. I had seen several of these lifted covers last 2 months throughout Bercham previously wonderimg who would want to work so hard. Seems these were the work of thieves to steal expensive copper wires buried down below. 

This cover took some work. I hadn’t seen this two days ago so they must have just hours ago. It was buried under the tarred road. So it must have taken some effort. This wire must be pretty lucrative to go through all the effort

…..hope they dont get electrocuted and trip the neighborhood…

Parishoners gather at the grave of Sybil Kartigasu for devotional prayers 

Parishioners of St Michaels Church gather on the 12 of each month at the gravesite of Sybil Karthigasu and offer devotional prayers for her intersession. This prayers have been going since January this year. Prayers this month was held on the 12 which happened to be the holiday Wesak Day.

Last year in July Cardinal Sebastian Francis, bishop of Penang, had called for the beatification and canonization of Sybil Kathigasu. He described her as a heroine and lay martyr who protected information and housed and nursed local members of the anti-Japanese resistance.

Parish Priest Father Aloysius Tan announced after the prayers, that in June next month Cardinal Francis will be in attendance and the devotional prayer will be held in evening at the gravesite followed by mass.
