Two layers of door

这里的店或房屋，一般都是有两层的门。房屋的门设计，通常外层是玻璃门，内层是木（或金屬）门，两层门是為了避免風吹进店内或屋内…
馬來西亞的店或房屋，一般也都是有两层的门。房屋的门设计，通常外层是鉄栏门，（攝于槟城 Photo taken in Penang）内层是木（或金屬）门，（攝于马六甲 Photo taken in Malacca）两层门是為了避免賊撬进店内或屋内… 不做鉄栏门好像就不能住人，不过賊要进，怎样也可撬进，管它是什么鉄栏门…那这么说到底要不要装鉄门呢？每个人都装當然要装啦，不能鹤立雞群嘛！（某友攝于槟城 Photo taken by a friend in Penang）
Steve 感到奇怪為何槟城的房屋门像牢门！

Normally, shops and houses here have two layers of door. The doors for a house have an outer door that is glass and the second, inner door that is wood (or metal). Shops and houses can avoid wind blowing inside with two layers of door…

Normally, shops and houses in Malaysia also have two layers of door. The doors for a house have an outer door that is always iron bars, and a second, inner door made of wood (or metal). It is supposed to prevent thieves from prying into the shop or house… If it does not have iron bars, it is not suitable for living in. Nevertheless, even with strong iron bars, sometimes thieves can still get in if they really want to get in… So, I wonder if it needs to have iron bars or not? However, everybody else installs them so then you do too, as we couldn’t stand alone!

Steve felt strange because the doors in Penang houses look like jail doors!
