Penang government pays Prasarana of RapidPenang RM30 per head per month for those who apply for Mutiara Passes allowing free bus rides until end of year.
Mr Lim MF can be the influencer to encourage more to ride buses and eventually there is no need for more superhighways to cater for rising cars.
Anil do go get Mutiara Pasd, RM5 for processing fee for the card and RM5 for the stored value. For RM10 you can travel whole Penang by buses to witness the daily lifes of commoners that can inspire your writings.
Times have changed. No wonder covid is still 1.5k daily. who wants to be lucky strike with covid in pack tin can? Rapid is under Dumno favoured system. So near, how many buses they have added? Who can tell us the bus time table. They run or crawl at any time. If late, buses can blamed on traffic jam. But light rail or mono rail, they come at certain frequency.
Shriek go use moovit apps yoy know when your rapidbus coming rapidly of course not at rocket speed.
Now that Dumno willing to ride on rocket so are you gonna cooperate with your traditional cyber rival especially now Dumno ain’t gonna drink teh susu kelantan?
Ray going to donate smart phones and wired them in inter or externet? Raykat oredi pokkai and wanted a library with internet to browse. Can buy phone and hook up externet? Our seniors citizens are Bill Pintu computer savy and fingers nimble?
Senior citizens without smartphones already have time and patience waiting for Rapid no need Apps.
Penang Smart Parking and MySejahtera are forcing many to buy smartphone with free money from government.
you did not read tunglang’s comment? Once he waited and eventually he gave up. It is too Rapid for him. The Rapid takes hours to arrive. Another case, a Senior wrote he is hitch hiking asking readers if they can give him a lift. Now buses are enclosed environment and close contact. Any virus and germs will be most happy.
Still talking light rail or mono rail? Anil gonna have write-up on Island A plan.
GE15 Penanglang to shriek out thru voting to avoid sapu bersih of single dominance.
Johor Bahru IMBRT – Bus Rapid Transit on trial run.
Why not Penang try out this system instead of LRT? I think it is cheaper.
Johor’s ART (Automated Rapid Transit) system on trial run:

See all traffic have to slow down when the long trailer. So long, many blind spots and cant see. Malaysia jalan jalan are like Sungai longkang compare to Tangshan Rivers wide as sea. The roads in China are very wide 6 lanes in one direction making a 12 lane road. In Peng land, there are how many 6 lanes road? The 3 gorges dam, chinese build a big lift to lift up ships from lower level to upper level. Of course Malaysia pun boleh.
Johor will be the first state in Malaysia, and the first in Southeast Asia, to use the Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit (ART) or railless guided bus system. The Iskandar Malaysia region is the pioneer project for implementing this system.

Penang Forum should also join in to make Earth Day appeal.
The best way to Celebrate Earth Day
Last night 8TV’s Money Matters focus entirely on Johor’s Forest City:
According to the report, Forest City is 60% owned by China’s Country Garden, about 24% owned by Johor Sultan. The interview with Forest City is conducted in English.

RM150 million in withheld dues paid due to foreign pressure. So, Uncle Sam looks like a hero. Perhaps this helps us to understand why our industries, regulators, enforcers, ah long, etc. all love cheap foreign labour so much.
So many suns and moons come and go, why no change in Covid? Lock up, lock down lock left and right and lock the border and intellar travel, covid naik and hovercraft close to magic figure of 1.8 to 2k. Worse we have sticky Covid derive from opposite side of the world as if they puncture through the earth crust. Certainly, Malai boleh and semua pun boleh
“Malaysia bukan sahaja satu-satunya negara dalam dunia yang isytihar darurat dan gantung parlimen serta perlembagaan kononnya untuk lawan Covid-19. Malah kita satu-satunya negara dalam dunia di mana situasi Covid-19 menjadi lebih berbahaya selepas tiga bulan perlaksanaan darurat,” kata Bossku Najib dalam satu catatan ringkas di Facebook hari ini.

Penang is the third best island in the world to retire on in 2021.

Thus new islands to provide more housing for retirees with deep pockets?
Is PAS going all out to stop sustainable development in Penang, desiring the state to suffer economic deterioration?
https://www.themalaysianinsight.com/s/310360
Are PAS leaders spinning issues for political mileage at the expanse of the overall economic well-being of Penang and the future of the state?
You can asked our Good fellow Teh Susu. He complains how Peng land has changed. Now is he in PASs land?
PAS does not recognise any form of new development especially mind development outside religion. Very sad for the people.
A good topic for Anil to explore:
Do we lack jobs or the right type of graduates?
https://m.malaysiakini.com/news/569848
No, our uni is mill for over the sea graduates. So many unis like robin of nottingham uni and LKW tech no logy of creat ive. Before covid, thosands of over the seas will come and ring git is even less than LOS kung thai.
Money No Enough
Rakyat also used up EPF money!

Yes, some businesses suffer price control,without assistance in cost control. Conversely, special businesses get waiver or exemption when they raise prices, impose additional charges or delay delivery.
The PN government’s decision to pass an emergency ordinance allowing it to tap into the National Trust Fund (KWAN) for vaccine expenses has stirred up a hornet’s nest, with many questioning the need for such a move.
Putrajaya had previously said the RM3 billion was sufficient to vaccinate 83% of Malaysians.

Future generation will bear the burden of high debt by this poor government overspending and wastage.
Overfishing causing dwindling fish stock in the ocean.

Malaysia’s Ikan Kembong less local harvest and to depend on imports driving prices up.
If you subscribe to Netflix, go and watch the documentary Seaspiracy
https://youtu.be/1Q5CXN7soQg
Anil after watching this documentary will have new perspective on cuurent sea exploits and will support more controlled commercial fish farming.
Now, the cowboys dont carry pistols like colt 45. Now they carry automatics or semi. It is matter of how many per secs. Last time cowboys shot American buffalos – the bisons. Why now they dont eat bisons? Now they eat cows? Wild American buffalos are better but they have to eat reared cows and bulls. Why?
Cowboys caused Red Indians genocide? Shriek unlike tunglang may be too young to have watched John Wayne cowboy movies where white supremacist overruled the native Apaches. Biden now accused China of Xinjiang genocide when the minority Muslims have never been subjected to birth control of one child policy?
No fail as Penang FC beat Melaka FC for 3 wins in a row in Liga Super, certainly Anil can be cheered up to witness the 2 well-tajen goals from Penang No.9 poacher Casagrande:
This coming Sunday 18 April PJ FC (all local players, no import) Vs Penang FC live telecast on TV1 10pm. Those without Astro can watch local football like this one.
Penang trishaws literally ‘running on empty’
https://www.newsarawaktribune.com.my/penang-trishaws-literally-running-on-empty/
Penang trishaws not a sustainable mobility?
Bechah – Horse car. Those talk a lot like PF are not promoting them, Quite a number in PF are Senior citizens riding them might not like to go back to the pre 60s let alone riding bicycle which is a form of exercise.
Is this Penang Wan Tan Mee shriekingly good?
Shrieking the best if it is only One Ton Mee. Tun lang said he will drive around Peng land in his 4W drive … hunting … for the one ton prey. Conservatives will forget pollution and carbon footprint when the stomach shriek. Time to feed the bacteria.
Tunglang may have left anilnetto.com and Shriek still has fond memories of Tunglang’s remarks and may Tunglang can return again?

It will have environmentally friendly features such as a rain harvesting system and be redesigned with a lot of natural lighting and ventilation.
Best international cuisines in Penang
Of course to hit 2 birdies. Peng land kias get improved transport and land rising out from the sea. Otherwise makan telur and get nothing. Transport scheme not chip chip. PN or BN Gomen will not bothered. Let Peng land kias get into jams or eat jams. How to butter?
Forest City on artificial islands in Johor is a success judging from this video update:
So far no complaints from environmentalists and fishermen in Johor. Penang must learn from its success factors
In Peng land, no loyalty and royalty – only governor who will changed accordingly. There is different. It cannot be changed. Elementary Watson
Got royalty nobody dare to make noise.
This is a reality.
Indonesia has embarked on marine aquaculture:
Peng land kias still prefer to eat ikan iblis or kampong fish. See no actions on sharks as shown by mata mata no see.
