The Penang City Council MPPP will instal a giant replica of a Pinang fruit at the roundabout at end of Beach St* to mark the Merdeka Day this year. No joke : Picture of the design -as shown above-is from Kwong Wah Jit Poh. The idea actually come a long way: following the giant sea gulls along Jelutong Expressway, then the phallic symbol like giant hibiscus at Udini Rd Roundabout and now, your giant Pinang fruit exposed for all to see ! Actually the Pinang or betel nut will take over the previous design which were some giant concrete hibiscus -which attracted its share of bric brats (Why not the real hibiscus-so they were asked) The fruit as usual come with a helfty price tag RM350 000.00-typical of the over-inflated price tags for landscaping projects in Penang! What exactly is the reason behind such giant replicas -has there been a replicas competition going on quietly in Malaysia- with the better known samples found at the Sky Kingdom in Terengganu ? *Ed: Correction to previous posting -the location is the end of Beach ST, not Gurney Drive as posted previously by mistake. Also the price tag is RM350 000.00, not RM300 000.00 as posted previously by mistake. Our apologies.

Many Penangites are not impressed by the wasteful and inappropriate landscaping work carried out by the city council so far. But the unelected council keep doing it, irrespective of the people they are supposed to serve !

At RM300 000.00 actually the City Council can afford to employ a real artist to creat a more artistic and tasteful scupture to mark our national day. Why are they so anti-artist that they would rather commission some resort style landscape concrete model maker to present tried and failed creations ? Are they under pressure by some mafia contractors to use the service of particular group ?

Anyway before the Chief Minister's Pinang fruit can see the light of the day surely a lot of Penangites would have cursed the obscenity to no end ! Let's see !

citer penang teringat pasal nasib melayu pulau pinang

hang toksah keriau banyak-banyak laaa ! Bangsa lain dok sibuk belajar tinggi2, bukak bisnes sana sini, kita masih lagi dok berfikir benda remeh temeh, dok bawah pokok main dam haji, dengki mendengki antara satu sama lain ..

Mai sini cheqqq nak habaq bagi .. Melayu ni memang susah nak sokong sesama melayu :ah:.. Hang tengokla kat Low Yat Plaza (atau Imbi) di KL nie .. berapa banyak kedai komputer yang tokeynya melayu kat situ .. haram satu pun tak dak .. yg cheqqqq dengaq la (bukan cheqqq cakap noooo) Melayu x buleh pun bukak kedai dlm tu .. Sbbnya org cina kat situ berpakat dengan kuasa ekonomi depa .. Melayu x mampu bersaing kerana muafakat yg ditunjukkan kedai2 cina dlm tu ..

Kalau la dalam persekitaran melayu.. kedai2 melayu .. Masing2 cuba mengaut untung sendiri .. Tak dak muafakat dan x dak rasa sikit pun nak tulong bangsa sendiri ..

La ni tengok apa dah jadi .. tak payah tengok Penang, semua bandar kat Malaysia memang begitu ..


errrrr cheqqqq offtopic kaaaa ?? ermmm penat btoi nak taip .. tengahari nanti cheqqqqq nak pi masjid buat lohoqqq, eh silap hari ni sembahyang Jumaat laaaa ..
