Penang FC thrashed Terengganu FC 4-1 on Saturday night to be top 3 in Msia Super League.

Former councillor with the Seberang Perai City Council Joshua Woo has slammed state PAS chief Muhammad Fauzi Yusuf, telling the latter to get his facts right when criticising the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project. https://www.thevibes.com/articles/news/23919/get-your-facts-right-in-slamming-psr-project-ex-councillor-tells-pas Studies by experts on 7,800 marine species have concluded that nearly 90% of fish stocks were either fully fished or overfished in the Penang sea.

Accomodation, Food and Healthcare are damm cheap because US$ 4 times valuable than ringgit.

Today many people trust their religious beliefs over science in matters pertaining to Covid-19, praying instead of vaccination?
