On 24th October 2010, falling stone killed a private taxi driver at the Jalan Sungai low-cost flats. A 64-year-old Koay Chin Chai died after he was hit on the head by a stone measuring 14cm by 10cm and weighing about 300 grammes.
This is a sad news for Penang, what happen to the civic mind of Penang people, that such uncivil thing happen in Penang. There were many report of flying objects from the high rising buildings, flying screwdrivers, flying flower pots, there are many things that can fly down from the flats. If you do not believe you just check with the zinc roof of the ground floor shop lot in any low cost flats, you can found any things there.
Penang city was once one of the dirtiest city; Sungei Pinang was one of the dirtiest river; our hawker stalls are also one of the dirty one. All just because we are so used to throw any unwanted rubbish or even old things to anywhere when we see it convenient. It is not only low cost flats, even high end condominium, if you happen to walk beside any cars parked near the housing units, the chances are you can found plastic bags, plastic containers, food wrappers, soft drink bottles, beer cans..... just beside the cars.
How we waste our water, which is one of lowest rate in the world....
The way the Penang people drive their cars, fond of overtaking even at the narrow street; and the way we parked our cars, and the illegal parking attendants waiting for you.
Coming late for the functions; talking loudly when the speakers is deliver his speech at the stage...
We damage the public telephone booth, we steal the electric cables....
Where is the civic minded Penang lang?....
Now the uncivil act of Penang lang killed a fellow Penang lang. It has come to the critical state that we need to check ourselves, are we continue to be an ungly Penang lang..... or to stop all these uncivil manner not fit to be in a developed state.
It is time Penang lang need a re-education to become a civic minded Penang lang.
Penang need an education campaign to teach us to behave in civil society, it is high time a poster campaign by MPPP or state government to put up posters to remind us to be civic minded....
We do not want to be an ugly Penang lang....
