PENANG: A six-month target has been set by Penang Municipal Council president Datuk Zainal Rahim Seman to return the island – once dubbed the Pearl of the Orient – to its original lustre. Zainal, who was appointed to the post last month, said those who dubbed the island Darul Sampah would soon have to change their tune. He suggested Darul Indah or Darul Mutiara instead.
“Keeping the island clean will be my top priority.
“We want to brighten up areas frequented by tourists such as Gurney Drive, Macalister Road and Little India.
“We may also do more landscaping in areas that tourists pass to get to their destinations,” he told newsmen during a media tour to see how rubbish was collected from high-rise buildings, factories and private residences. "
Why ONLY 6 months? - Penang definitely needs more than 6 months to clean up!
