  • Simple, Penang needs more roads & tunnels for our further. Just look at Singapore, South Korea & China, are their roads, tunnels and bridges are better then us. Penangnites, please wake-up.

  • Penang, being an island state would be better off with a public transportation system. The state govt surely knows about nudge economics. Build it and people will use it if you make it affordable (and offers the path of least resistance).
