The Queensbay Mall sea front is destined to have the same fate as Gurney Drive.There are many hawkers’ vans along the road in the evening (looks like Gurney Drive years ago) and I have seen rats scampering around.

I think hawkers should be banned from this stretch of road too.Why isn’t anyone doing anything about the hawkers? With the current economic situation, I would not be surprised if more people go into hawking food illegally for extra income.I guess they would be thinking ‘If ‘they’ can do it and get away with it. I am jumping on the band wagon too’

Penang always have a big problem in this area ie: illegal hawkers. Looks like no one wants to touch this sensitive issue.

The sun set glowing
The sky peaked with starry stars
Yet the debris floating in
The people surrounding me
They couldn’t care a bit

The unconcerned parents
The children bad habits
All rubbish throwing in
The bad image dirty place

Rats and cockroaches
Having fun at our dirty habits
Throwing rubbish into the beach
The line of unsightly debris
The Pearl of the Orient
She cried that day

The government of the state
Pushing up high rise buildings
Bending on feeding the economy
The bad habits never change

The quick solution
Jail them make them clean up the dirty beach
Wearing tags to say
‘We must help the environment
And keep the public places clean’
