This is the scene when it pours in Chee Seng Gardens, next to a controversial condo development project, which has exposed the hill-slopes. Elsewhere, the sea off Miami Bay and Moonlight Bay turns a muddy orange.

Something must be done to rein in all those hill-slope developers who are responsible for this mess. What are the state authorities doing about this?

I once tell my Dad not to vote for BN but he told me it is necessary for a secure future. Today I hold all the older generation accountable for the state we are in. Iron and Gerakan K, you make me sick…

Dear Gerakan K.
If Gerakan rules Penang, we will again be step children of UMNO.
No, maybe even worse than step children because they will never accept any peninsular non-Malay/non-mamak a member of their ‘family’. Not even after you “masuk.”

Dear All Tanjong Bungah and Battu ferringi lovers
Yes I am so aware of the demise of our lovely penang hillslopes. I have raised this issue over recent years and I can tell you I dont mince my words. BUT you see deaf ears are those who are either profitting from these developers (back handers and corrupt bribes?) or they couldnt give a damn about the Island of Penang.
Our sea is a huge muddy puddle and the tourists are being short changed-international ad campaigns lie to them when they show lovely green paradisical waters along our North coast then they drive all the way up to B Ferring and see this filth and the carved up hillslopes replaced with concrete blocks towering precariously above the (1) ONE road, that is no longer safefor those whom need to use it every day.
So here we are in July 2010 and yet more monstrous approvals are underway. Hunza are hoping to build another monster FURTHER UP the hill from the present 2 condo blocks and housing site of Alila. Surely the building of such a massive tower above and behind them could be disturbing to their foundations. I sure hope that Hunza will not get permission so that a potential land slide can be prevented as has happened in other parts of Malaysia when upper hills have been developed above older developments on the foot of the hill.
Also another 41 high condo block coming up to block the sea breezes on the Tg Bungah Hotel site.
I left Penang to further my studies many years ago now and still return every year but I could never see myself returning permanently as the place is no longer A PEARL IN THE ORIENT more like MANY PEARLS IN THE BACK POCKETS OF THE DEVELOPERS!!!!

It is so amusing to see the orchestrated spin of Iron and Gerakan K. It is also heartwarming to note that the work of LGE is being highlighted and recognised by those who see and hear. Keep on spinning Iron and it will definitely be a blessing in disguise when the angels that surround LGE will sound their judgement.
