In Kuala Lumpur at least one local council rejected building plans because the draughtsman used “the wrong colour”, of purple, said the Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM).
When re-submitted in the “correct” colour, the building plans were rejected again, this time because it was folded the wrong way.
Is it no wonder that the New Straits Times refers to the Malaysian bureaucracy’s officials as “Little Napoleons”?
