Give them more say, rope them into whatever committee LGE is intending to form. For Penang to retain its charm, do away with the monorail and the PORR, bring back the tram or if this is not possible, simply improve public transport. When I was growing up in Penang, cycling was the most convenient mode of transport. Can this be encouraged and revived? The Penang Heritage Trust has been doing a good job.

Car pooling is necessary, traffic control system should be improved and the drastic need is a very good transport system. In early days it was easy to get buses and trams to any part of the island as soon as one crosses the channel. Hope the old days of duty free days returns to Pearl off the Orient.

Let's all hope they will be working feverishly towards a sustainable tourist industry. A comprehensive programme should include well organised heritage tours with capable and well spoken tour leaders, promoted via leading tour agencies the world over, should our embassies feel reluctant to extend a helping hand. We are certainly not looking for borrowed carnival themes inspired by Hawaii or the like. Keep it real. Videos of our many colourful ethnic celebrations could be kept on reruns at places of rest. It's not as if we are starting from zero. We can always thank and praise the previous government for their efforts, something which they keep crying out for.
