… if the massive 4,500 land reclamation plan to create three artificial islands off the southern coastline of Penang Island proceeds.
This area is a major source of prawns, fish, crabs and shellfish for Penang, and fish can be bought fresh.

As you can see from the video above by Simon it is also a panoramic natural setting, that is hard to find elsewhere in Penang. It is a tranquil spot for Olive Ridley turtle landings. Live corals thrive in nearby Pulau Kendi off the southwestern coast.
You absolutely cannot put a price on something like this.

Anil, I never in my life expected to see (live) a turtle came to shore to lay her eggs in Penang. That was in 1986 or 87 when I & my group of outdoor friends went to Pantai Kerachut on a weekend to camp on the heavenly beach. That night, we faced a sudden thunder storm after barbecue+beer dinner which nearly washed away our camps & belongings to sea (we thought pitching tents on a depression (on the beach) was a sure protection from the cold winds of the Andaman Sea).

Previously cannot find fault with 1MDB scandal. How it can now? LOL moment.
Very arrogant to impose comment quota, sure stand to lose readers.
hi Maniam, nearly all readers would have been unaffected except for a tiny minority flooding this blog with nonsensical reactions.
1 comment every 5 days appropriately a new guideline, since Anil typically posts an entry every 5 days?
How about those only grumble like old maid? No intellectual discourse but always the kbkb??
The less KneeJerk shrieking & he-he nonsensicals & lies combo, the better.
TQ to Anil’s wisdom to counter these 2-in-1 distasteful combo.
