It is still not too late to put a stop to this outlandish RM46bn land reclamation and property development scheme.

They keep developing the North-East Area…Develop somewhere else…IMO, the revenue of the State should be given back to Penangites, like a monthly income for all Penangites. Instead, they spend our money to do all these…
Develop somewhere…. Ec to say somewhere. I where? Your suburb
Susu teh are advising pg lang no need to work. If you He wants DAP gomen to give monthly money.
If we can gather thousands of protesters at Komtar, set up our camps throughout the day. I’m sure they will start thinking. For now, I don’t think they give a damn about how you feel.

Penang should do likewise to close the heritage zone to traffic on weekends.
Why rush hour? Why all the rushing? Pg forum don’t see the roads are narrow and cars are more. That is why they rush. If roads are wider and if pg forum uses less cars then no need to rush. Am I spinning or logic follow continuity flow?
when people coming back from a hard day’s work, enduring traffic jam, hungry and tired, all trying hard to earn a living..these no job rich folk gather to play cards…..
