Comment on Why is Gurney Drive always dirty? by Momo

The condos there do not have sea view anymore! More like mud view! Yikes!

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.

Gurney Drive
Walk along in the evening breeze
Many years ago while I was staying there
Dirty beach for all to see

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’

Comment on No Kings of Tennis this weekend but plenty of other events by Darrel

About King Of Tennis ….i dont want to comment , what have happen let it be history and be a lesson to MPPP and Penang State Goverment

To when i was looking at the news, i saw Penang CM .. LIM G E …. spit out such words ..DOnt play play with Penang state goverment to GAMUDA …

1st and foremost ….As a Cm of a state goverment dont you think you should talk and behave like a leader. The way you sounded is like a hank seh woi..in cantonese triad leader.

To be frank i dont know what is happening between them but at least someone like LGE should put himself in a more honourable way of presenting himself…like for example Tan Sri Khalid then Menteri Besar of Selangor. Lim should behave more like him .

Dont think that we voted you in, you can be on cloud nine.

We cant vote you and we can overthrow you tooo..

Some of LGE action is good and some is not so good to my view.

But whatever it is i hope that LGE can behave like a state leader rather then a triad leader. Penang dont belong to HIM !

Anyway i think Chow Kon Yeow should be the CM … becoz he is the DAP state chairman .. but you know la … LIM legacy …so i dont really care who is CM as long as they serve the Penang people

Regards

This lack of publicity thing is very common. I pity the companies who have booked booths to sell/promote their products.There were many times I came to know about the events only AFTER the whole thing is over!

Momo: No lar. It is a private event, not by Danny Law. I heard about the health and beauty fair but could not get details about it at all…the organisers are not doing a good job publicising it.

Foong, you know anything about the Health and Beauty Fair that is happening this coming weekend?Is it to be a one-day event only in conjunction with the Line Dance event scheduled for the 23rd. Nov.? Normally this type of fair would be held over a 3 day period.

There does not seem to be much publicity for these events. Is Danny Law in charge of this as well?

Momo: Yep, the secondhand book stall was there but my son refused to let me buy any books.
Yeah, I will try to make time to go for the next one to get some Christmas gifts for some of my friends.
