While having brunch at one of the outlets opposite the SS2 foodcourt last weekend, I spotted a couple local stunt men trying to put up a banner. Look at how the tactic they improvised…

The two jokers
Apperantly an older dude pushed the younger lad in a herculean effort so that the latter can reach the summit of the electric pole to tie up that “Happy Mother’s Day” banner. I must say the display of strength and agility was pretty impressive.

A closer look
However, this image reminds me of what I saw many years ago in Penang (incidentally, horny saw the same thing.) A monkey tried to scale the electric poles via the power lines, but unfortunately as the hands went for the neutral and legs the life bare lines, what was left was a roasted monkey. Lucky the stunt men at SS2 weren’t met with the same fate.

Err… That’s not power line. Its phone lines and a lot less dangerous, though it may contribute to someone’s Streamyx problem…
Of course it does not reduce the fact that they could fall and hurt themselves…
