Welcome to Penang Hill Airport Terminal - oops, Railway Station (updated)

Update (14 March 2012): From what I hear through the grapevine, these outlandish plans for Penang Hill have been scrapped and a low-key design will probably be adopted. Hopefully, good sense has prevailed. 12 September 2011: Why can’t they leave Penang Hill alone? Obviously, some people have not learned any lessons from the fiasco over the “upgrading” of the Penang Botanic Garden. This is what some people are dreaming up for Penang Hill. Looks almost like an airport terminal. Goodness gracious me!

We think we can put in place all sorts of fancy flood mitigation ‘marvels’ to keep us from being swamped. But what if it is our model of development – concrete (mega-property centric development) and tar (extensive highways and parking) all over the place – and climate change that are aggravating the situation?
