A couple of people have told me they have spotted dolphins off the coast of Penang. Can we try and improve our sea water quality to encourage more of these ‘angels’ of the deep to come and frolic in these parts?

I’ve been working on the beach in Batu Ferringhi for the past 4 years and it is a usual thing to see dolphins swimming around.

They were lots of fun and I had since asked whether the dolphins ar still around. Now that I had seen it on your TV screen, I am so happy and let’s keep our waters clear and clean for our generations to enjoy. You know, I had to go to New Zealand to watch these dolphins to rekindle my youth. So, please Penangites, please… Read more »

I personally plenty of dolphins in my recent boat trip to Pulau Aman
A sight to behold. These dolphins swam very close to our boat.
Yes, lots of them…
Penang has gotten less polluted since March 2008 after getting rid of all sampah masyarakat
Haha, they probably came back because LGE is in charge. Cleaner everything.
even mammals like dolphins can sese a clean (bersih) government for them to visit the shores of penang :); what about you readers ????
