A substandard "International Airport"



There were lack of lightings at the baggage claim belt area and there was a serious shortage of baggage trolleys too. What a bad impression for visitors landing at Penang International Airport.

CJ Jimmy Leow have traveled extensively in SEA and have the opinion that much improvement must be done to live up to the name "International Airport".

"Don't worry boss, it's our job"


CJ Jimmy Leow asked some MPPP cleaners of their daily routine at Cecil Street, Penang. One said, "It is never ending story, people throw rubbish, we clear them up". These are the unsung heroes who dedicate their lives cleaning up rubbish not throw by them, but by the public.

Do your part, keep Penang clean, it is our responsibilities too.
