Holiday in Penang

I am in Penang with Pat, Angie,her kids,Laura & Viola and Nancy. We stay at Bay-view Hotel. We came here on Monday 26.09.2011 and we will be leaving for KL on Friday 30.09.2011. I visited my old pals...Ah Thong, Ghani Zakaria, Pukau, Khaw Keng Boon and lastly Rosli Sallehuddin. I bought a merbok denak from Pukau for RM 300. Ah Thong and I exchanged birds. The food in Penang was as expected delicious. Penang is not like the old days. When I first came to live in Penang in 1963, Penang was a fairy tale island with the colonial buildings, the Squarters dwelled by the poor, villages and settlements the Chinese settled, rubber estates where the Indians worked and lived, and not forgetting the beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters. You could see your feet when you enter the water and see the little fishes nibbling your feet. At Penang road the electric trams were busy ferrying people to their destinations. The trishaws were pulled by the trishaw man transporting people from one place to another. We could hardly find the Malays in town as they were confined to their kampongs doing their kampong jobs. The people seen in town were the Indian Mamaks, the Chinese and not forgetting the Europeans. There were hardly ant cars roaming the streets. Most people travelled by bicycle. Yes , Penang was a busy place as what is today, but today it is a mad house, POLLUTED. I think the main reson for this disaster is because of the greedy people who wanted to get rich quickly, and also wanted to show the world that Malaya was not a third country. I believe that beauty is not seen only on the outside, but inside within yourself. Shame to the greedy people. Not only they destroyed the country's infastructure ,but created more deaths by accidents and drugs. The source of the problem is, guess what ?
Anyway, this problem has not only affected our country , Malaysia , but the whole world.
