Penang new CM is announcing that they are planning on getting a new "london" tube syle underground train network for Penang. It will be great if it happens, but my personal point of view, highly unlikely.
First of all, Penang's population isn't up to a point that the underground train network is going to benifit us. Yes Penang do have a few saturated places, namely Bayan Baru, Batu Lanchang, Pulau Tikus and maybe Georgetown, and thats about it. Penangites don't travel alot during work days like our KL counterparts. They go to work, then they go home during the weekdays, Penangites aren't fond of going out during weekdays for activities / shoppings .
Instead, i would hope that they beef up the present public transport system, namely our taxis and buses.
Look at today's paper
Rapid buses won’t stop at Komtar
PENANG: Rapid Penang buses will no longer stop at the Komtar bus interchange from Friday.
Rapid Penang chief executive officer Azhar Ahmad said the company made the decision after one of its bus captains was threatened with a parang there on Sunday. more...
And lets put this aside, I have really no idea how the new Penang CM is going to get funding for this project. Lets look back to what previous CM of Penang "promised"

I will be very surprised if the new Penang state government really manage to pull this off.
I totally support Chelsea coming to KL this coming June, but after seeing Mr. Kenyon taking picture with this fella...i felt disgusted instead.
Come on, don't you guys know this fella is one of the most "unliked" figure in Malaysia this days, dealing with this fella is really gonna make Chelsea's image bad. Man...this really spoilt my day... :(
Star-studded Chelsea’s date in KL is set for July 29
By AFTAR SINGH
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian football fans will get to watch a star-studded Chelsea first team live in action in Kuala Lumpur.
Chelsea, who will be in Asia for pre-season tour, are scheduled to play against Malaysia on July 29 after a match in China on July 23.
Chelsea's Peter Kenyon (right) gives FAM deputy president Khairy Jamaluddin a team jersey after the pre-season tour announcement Thursday.
ProEvents are the promoters of the Chelsea tour and their CEO, Julian Kam, said yesterday: “I am sure that many football fans not only in Malaysia but also those from neighbouring countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and even those in Australia, will welcome this great opportunity to see The Blues in action.”
Chelsea are one the big four clubs in England who are still in the running for double honours this season – the English Premier League and Champions League titles.
“We wish Chelsea all the best in the final stages of the EPL and Champions League and hope that they will come to Asia as champions of both tournaments,'' said Julian.
The chief executive of Chelsea, Peter Kenyon, said that besides the match in Malaysia, they would also host Malaysian national coach B. Sathiananthan for about 10 days at Stamford Bridge in early August.
“I believe this will benefit both parties and may pave the way for other such programmes in future between Malaysia and Chelsea.
“This also underlines Chelsea's commitment to develop football in Asia,'' he said.
The FA of Malaysia (FAM) deputy president, Khairy Jamaluddin, said that national team will feature in the match against Chelsea.
“It will be a good experience for the national players in preparation for the Merdeka Tournament in September,'' he said.
Say you’re out for a photographic stroll, taking pictures of that cool old power plant on the edge of town. Suddenly seventy security guards swarm you and demand you hand over your camera.
“What is this,” you ask yourself, “a Michael Moore movie?”
You’re sure you haven’t done anything wrong, but you don’t know whose side the law is on. Fret no more- we’ve got a list of things you can and can’t do, and it’s a lot more permissive than you might think.
Now grab your camera back from that Rent-A-Cop and let’s hit the books.

Before we get started here, we have to point out that even though we’re smart and awesome and devastatingly attractive, we’re not lawyers. None of this should be construed as legal advice. If you have a legal issue, get in touch with a lawyer. Much of this information was gleaned from attorney Bert P. Krages‘ website, so we’ll go ahead and recommend him.
The Ten Legal Commandments of Photography
I. Anyone in a public place can take pictures of anything they want. Public places include parks, sidewalks, malls, etc. Malls? Yeah. Even though it’s technically private property, being open to the public makes it public space.
II. If you are on public property, you can take pictures of private property. If a building, for example, is visible from the sidewalk, it’s fair game.
III. If you are on private property and are asked not to take pictures, you are obligated to honor that request. This includes posted signs.
IV. Sensitive government buildings (military bases, nuclear facilities) can prohibit photography if it is deemed a threat to national security.
V. People can be photographed if they are in public (without their consent) unless they have secluded themselves and can expect a reasonable degree of privacy. Kids swimming in a fountain? Okay. Somebody entering their PIN at the ATM? Not okay.
VI. The following can almost always be photographed from public places, despite popular opinion:
accident & fire scenes, criminal activities
bridges & other infrastructure, transportation facilities (i.e. airports)
industrial facilities, Superfund sites
public utilities, residential & commercial buildings
VII. Although “security” is often given as the reason somebody doesn’t want you to take photos, it’s rarely valid. Taking a photo of a publicly visible subject does not constitute terrorism, nor does it infringe on a company’s trade secrets.
VIII. If you are challenged, you do not have to explain why you are taking pictures, nor to you have to disclose your identity (except in some cases when questioned by a law enforcement officer.)
IX. Private parties have very limited rights to detain you against your will, and can be subject to legal action if they harass you.
X. If someone tries to confiscate your camera and/or film, you don’t have to give it to them. If they take it by force or threaten you, they can be liable for things like theft and coercion. Even law enforcement officers need a court order.
What To Do If You’re Confronted
Be respectful and polite. Use good judgement and don’t escalate the situation.
If the person becomes combative or difficult, think about calling the police.
Threats, detention, and taking your camera are all grounds for legal or civil actions on your part. Be sure to get the person’s name, employer, and what legal grounds they claim for their actions.
If you don’t want to involve the authorities, go above the person’s head to their supervisor or their company’s public relations department.
Call your local TV and radio stations and see if they want to do a story about your civil liberties.
Put the story on the web yourself if need be.
More Resources
We’ve condensed these facts a great deal. We recommend downloading The Photographer’s Right and keeping a couple of copies in your camera bag if you’re shooting somewhere you might expect trouble.
Andrew Kantor has written a good article and a PDF summary of your rights, including some of the ins-and-outs of publishing your pictures.
Rumours has it that Malays are having a riot on streets of Penang, Komtar due to the fact that the new elected state governments plan to abolish the NEP.
There are no actual confirmation of this as of yet.
If we take a look at the state of photography today, such as the advances of digital camera, artful image manipulation by photoshop, and even the role of paparazzi in media - and the pervasiveness of photographic images in our lives, it is easy to forget that the first photograph ever was taken just 180 years ago.
Photography was probably an inevitable invention - the surprise was that it took so long for it to develop, especially given that the scientific principles that are responsible for it - physical principles such as our understanding of lens and optics and chemical processes that are required to affix permanent images, have actually been known for long before the invention of the first photograph.
The development of photography was quite fast: since Niépce took the world’s first photograph in 1826, it took only about 30 years for photograph became a product for mass consumption with the introduction of carte-de-visite. Before long, the world’s first concealed cameras were introduced to help detectives document the dalliances of cheating spouses!
But enough small talk - let’s take a look at some fun facts about the development of early photography, famous and "first" photos, weird cameras, and more:
Camera Obscura
Before we talk about the birth of modern photography, let’s talk a little about an ancient technique that served as a precursor - say, "proto-photography" if you will.
This device is called a camera obscura (latin for dark chamber). It is literally a dark room or a box with a small hole in one wall. An inverted image from outside the hole would appear on the opposite wall. This device could thus be used to aid drawing (artist could trace the outline of the image on a canvas hung on the wall) and was considered quite significant in the development of proto-photography.
The invention of camera obscura (latin for dark chamber) was attributed to an islamic mathematician, astronomer, and physicist named Ibn al-Haitham [wiki] or better known as Alhazen, in the 11th century Egypt. However, the principle of camera obscura was probably known to thinkers as early as Aristotle (300 BC).
Camera obscura was widely known to early scientists: Roger Bacon, Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Kepler, and Athanasius Kircher [wiki] all wrote about this optical device.
Giphantie: Prediction of the Invention of Photography
In 1760, decades before the invention of photography, French author Charles-François Tiphaigne de la Roche predicted its invention.
In a story titled Giphantie (yes, an anagram of his name), Tiphaigne de la Roche wrote about a race of secret supermen in an imaginary wonderland who could fix a reflected image onto a canvas coated with a sticky substance!
The grainy picture above is the world’s first photograph called "View from the Window at Le Gras" (circa 1826), taken and developed by French photographer pioneer Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. He called this process "heliography" or sun drawing - it certainly was a long process: the exposure time was about 8 hours.
Although daguerreotype [wiki] was not the first photographic process to be invented, it was the first commercially viable process (earlier techniques required hours and hours of successful exposure and therefore weren’t suitable for taking people’s photos).
This technique was developed by French chemist Louis Daguerre [wiki], with collaboration with Niépce (see above). The daguerreotype above, titled "L’Atelier de l’artiste" was probably the world’s first daguerreotype, made in 1837.
In 1839, the French government acquired Daguerre’s French patent and announced his invention "a gift free to the world" - but simultaneously, Daguerre had acquired patents abroad, where he stringently controlled the use of daguerreotype.
And just like with any technology, the first adopters turned out to be erotic photography [wiki, nsfw - obviously].
Posing for a daguerreotype wasn’t trivial: because the exposure time is about 15 minutes, the subject’s head had to be held still with a clamp!
In 1839, Robert Cornelius, a Dutch chemist who immigrated to Philadelphia, took a daguerreotype portrait of himself outside of his family’s store and made history: he made the world’s first human photograph!
You’re looking at Dorothy Catherine Draper, sister of NYU professor John Draper and model for the first daguerreotype portrait of a woman in the United States in 1839. She was the first woman to be photographed with her eyes open!
The earliest American attempts in duplicating the photographic experiments of the Frenchman Louis Daguerre occurred at NYU in 1839. John W. Draper, professor of chemistry, built his own camera and made what may be the first human portrait taken in the United States, after a 65-second exposure. The sitter, his sister Dorothy Catherine Draper, had her face powdered with flour in an early attempt to accentuate contrasts.
Also in 1839, the term "photography" was coined by Sir John Frederick William Herschel [wiki], a british mathematician and astronomer (side note: his father, Sir Frederick William Herschel, also a famous astronomer, discovered the planet Uranus!)
Herschel also coined the terms "negative" and "positive" in the context of photography, and also of the vernacular "snapshot."
Stereoscopy
The principle of stereoscopy (or 3D photo) actually preceded that of photography - it was described in as early as the 1500s by Giambattista della Porta [wiki].
In traditional stereoscopy [wiki], a pair of 2-D images - each representing a slightly different perspective of the same object, creates a perception of depth and tricks the brain into seeing a 3-D image.
The invention of daguerreotype sparked interest in stereoscopy in the Victorian era.
World’s First Photomontage
In 1858, Henry Peach Robinson [wiki] made the world’s first photomontage by combining multiple negatives to form a single image.
Robinson’s first and most famous composite photo, called "Fading Away", was a composition of five negatives. It depicted a girl dying of consumption (or tuberculosis), and quite controversial as some objected to the morbid subject of the photo.
World’s Oldest Surviving Aerial Photo
The first aerial photo was taken by Gaspard-Félix Tournachon, better known as Nadar [wiki], in 1858, using a tethered balloon over the Bievre Valley, France.
Unfortunately, Nadar’s aerial photos were lost - so the oldest surviving aerial photo, shown here, was that of Boston in 1860, taken by James Wallace Black [wiki], also using a balloon.
Carte-de-visite
In the late-1850s in Europe, Andre Disdéri popularized photos-as-calling-cards called carte-de-visite.
Carte-de-visite became popular and Disdéri became famous when French ruler Emperor Napoleon III en route to Italy with his army, stopped by his studio to pose for a photograph! (Never mind that the story might be apocryphal, it was still a good story!)
Because it is cheap to produce, carte-de-visite was mass produced for the public and became a huge fad in the Victorian era.
This carte-de-visite is of an interesting character called Eugen Sandow, dubbed the first modern bodybuilder who gained fame in late 1800s.
Do All of a Galloping Horse’s Hooves Leave the Ground?
In 1872, Eadweard Muybridge, a British-born photographer, was hired by Leland Stanford (who later founded the university), to settle a question (some people say a $25,000 bet) whether there was a point in a horse’s full gallop where all four hooves were off the ground.
Muybridge arranged 12 cameras alongside a race track and attached a string to the camera switches across the track. When the horse ran through the string, it triggered the shot. The series of photographs showed that indeed, all four hooves leave the ground when the horse is in full gallop.
Muybridge went on to develop systems and techniques to photograph motion of people and animal.
The oldest known color photograph was taken by Louis Ducos du Hauron in 1872. The photo is of a view of Angouleme in Southern France.
The Birth of Photojournalism
Amongst many pioneering photographers of the era is John Thomson [wiki], a Scottish Victorian photographer and traveler, whose work documenting the street people in London laid the foundation of social documentary and photojournalism.
This photo is called The Crawlers (cir. 1876 - 1877), a part of Thomson’s work called Street Life of London, which documents in earnest the hardship of life of the transients and the poor in that era.
Photographic Gun
In the 1880s, French scientist Étienne-Jules Marey wanted to learn how birds fly, so he invented a photographic gun, which uses a rotating glass plate to take 12 consecutive pictures per second!
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, we saw a boom in the design and production of cameras concealed in everyday objects. Many of these cameras were sold for detective works, whereas some (like the matchbox camera) were designed specifically for spying activities.
For a fantastic collection of vintage cameras, it’s hard to beat George Eastman House’s online archive: Link
World’s First Underwater Photo
The first underwater camera system was developed by French scientist Louis Boutan in 1893.
The image on the left was the world’s first underwater photography - the model was so excited that he held the identification plate upside down!
In 1900, George R. Lawrence built this mammoth 900 lb. camera, then the world’s largest, for $5,000 (enough to purchase a large house at that time!) It took 15 men to move and operate the gigantic camera.
The photographer was commissioned by the Chicago & Alton Railway to make the largest photograph (the plate was 8 x 4.5 ft in size!) of its train for the company’s pamphlet "The Largest Photograph in the World of the Handsomest Train in the World."
You’re looking at Edward Steichen’s photo of a pond in Long Island, New York, in 1904. Don’t laugh: this rare print has set the world record for most expensive photograph, sold for $2.9 million in February 2006!
In 1918, photographers Arthur S. Mole and John D. Thomas took a photograph of 30,000 military officers and men at Camp Custer, Michigan. A special 70-foot tower was built for this purpose.
Mole and Thomas actually specialized in taking these types of photographs - they took a total of 10 photos where thousands of soldiers were posed to form giant, living, symbols of the USA, including a portrait of Woodrow Wilson, the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty, the Marine Corps emblem, and more.
In the 1920s, a brass birdie was often used by photographers to grab the attention of children during a portrait session (hence the saying "Watch the birdie"):
The birdie would typically be held by an assistant or parent. A rubber hose and squeeze bulb were connected to the short length of open brass tubing. The brass base separates into two halves so the bottom of the base can be filled with water. Squeezing the rubber bulb causes the bird to make a whistling and warbling sound.

Letter i receive as forward mail from my friend which tells nothing but the truth...don't believe? get a copy of the stars this few days during GE, count how many pages The Star is covering stories on BN VS Opposition party. Tell me the ratio.
Subject: Is the STAR PUBLICATION trying to fool it`s READERS !!!! To : Manager, Editors and staff of the Star Publications (M) Bhd
C:C to all Contacts. 28/2/08
IS STAR PUBLICATION A SHARE HOLDER OF BARISAN NASIONAL?
Dear publisher,
With much regret and disappointment over the star publication i am writing this letter. I strongly condemn and object all your articles in the star the pass few days. Very clearly i can see that your articles on the coming general election is giving a one sight report and supporting the barisan Nasional Government. I view this as something not healthy and a threat to the future of the the media.
You use the caption MALAYSIA DECIDES 2008 in your General election report. How to decide when you don't even give a report on the opposition party. Lim kit siang, Anwar Ibrahim and other oppositions gave many ceramah`s in penang, But i don't see any detail or article on that events. and even if i had see, It would be a negative report on that party. What kind of practice is this in a democratic country ? We as the rakyat and reader of the star expects and demand equal coverage and news on all parties in the general election. Yes it`s good to tell the nation what the barisan has done for it`s people and the development it has brought to this country, at the same time it is also important to hear from the opposition their views and vision for the country. Whether they are giving empty promises, or lying, it is for the rakyat to decide. Not for the government or for your publication to decide or come to an conclusion.
In your publication today 28/2/07 page N 11, there is an advertisement from MIC. What kind of advertisement is that. Is MIC trying to instill fear in the nation and getting votes by threatening us. It say`s IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR MIC THEN BE PREPARED TO PAY THE PRICE.... What the hell does MIC mean by that. That statement has already breach the election campaign law which prohibits nominee's from threatening the voters. I see only Barisan Nasional `s advertisement in the star.. Aren`t there any other parties contesting in this coming general election? Every single day i see so many full page BN advertisement, Have they not yet exceeded the campaign budget limit approved by the election commission for all parties. I know how many thousands it cost for a single page advertisement in the star. Or is the star sponsoring the pages for BN... If yes, then why is the star not sponsoring also for DAP, KEADILAN and PAS. There are also readers whom support the opposition as much as the readers whom supports BN. This is such and insult to all readers of the Star. We give you business and you pay us back in this way ?
When reporting on news which refers to Dato seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Datuk seri Najib Tun Razak, your publication refers them as the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia . Has your editors forget that the Parliament has been dissolved. What right do you all have then to officially call both this people current ministers of Malaysia . Aren't` you all then giving false information to the readers.
I send this email as and warning to the Star Publication to give and equal coverage to all parties on the General Election. It`s is also a call from the Election Commission President of Malaysia to give and equal and fair coverage to all parties. If your company were to still publish report on a one sight view after reading this email, I am going to launch a boycott on the star publication and urge penang people not to buy the Star. I will go all out for it using my contacts and influences and make sure people do not buy the Star. There are alternative paper like the SUN which provides equal news to the nation. Why then spent more to buy news which is not fair and equal to all. I hope this is the start for a change in the way your reports are being published. Let the Nation decide, and dont fool your readers.

I stumble upon this BN slogan on Data Keramat, in front of the construction site of Time Square...i think they made some mistake or something. The slogan goes like this (note the BN symbol at the bottom of the banner)
Wha? For those who are not very familiar with Penang, the big new building behind the banner IS NOT KOMTAR! The pictures below....sadly...is Komtar. Komtar has always been in Penang way back, what has BN done to upgrade this iconic structure of Penang? We deserve more...
Mind you, all this pictures are taken on 2008, Feb 16th, and FYI its on a Saturday lunch time, peak hour for business in complexes and malls.
1. Entrance to Komtar from Pragin Mall
2. The once busy walkway

Record turn out of 10,000 ++ despite heavy rain...its time for a change...we deserve more ...
From Malaysia-today.net:
PENANG (March 2, 2008): Big Guns from the DAP and Parti Keadilan Rakyat, which are fighting hard to capture Penang, were out in force last night.
The venue: The Han Chiang Indoor Stadium on Jalan Air Itam which is used more for sporting events than political speeches.
The theme: Comradeship among opposition parties, need for change and national unity.
The targets: Rracial politics, erosion of democratic principles and human rights.
The turnout: A 6,000 capacity arena filled to the brim with a couple of thousands more standing outside.
It was the first time DAP (contesting seven parliamentary and 20 state seats) and PKR (four parliament and 15 state) were on the same stage in a show of unity for the Penang electorate. But conspicuously absent was PAS which is contesting two parliament and five state seats.
Leading the assault on the ruling coalition was a line-up of opposition luninaries, including PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (whose wife and PKR president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail is defencing Permatang Pauh parliament seat), DAP national chairman Karpal Singh and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
Anwar stressed on the strong bond of comradeship between DAP and PKR to build Penang. “In this elections, Penang will take the lead in toppling the Barisan Nasional (government) and on behalf of PKR, we give our word that we will work together with DAP to form a strong bond of comradeship to build Penang,” he said.
He asked voters to support the Rocket's candidates - Karpal Singh (Bukit Gelugor-parliament), Lim (Bagan-parliament) and Prof. Dr P. Ramasamy (Batu Kawan-parliament), besides PKR state chairman Datuk Zahrain Mohamed Hashim (Bayan Baru-parliamentary).
The appeal seemed to resonate with the crowd, of mixed races but majority Chinese, many standing in the rain, sharing umbrellas with strangers and some even getting drenched in the two-and-a-half hour downpour.
The show kicked off at 8pm with Penang DAP chairman Chow Kon Yeow (Tanjong incumbent) acknowledging the "record-breaking" turnout.
He warmed up the audience with tales of certain politician's wealth. “We don’t want a government that enriches top leaders,” he said, drawing cheers from the crowd, and asking voters to pick a government that really looked after them.
“Tonight’s gathering is one of all races – it shows Malaysians want change and don’t let the BN say we’re racial parties. We are all people of Malaysia," he said, just in time for Anwar’s arrival.
The crowd greeted the PKR adviser with shouts of “Reformasi! Reformasi!” Anwar went on to harp on familiar subjects -- the Hindraf, fuel price, detention without trial and Umno’s dominance in BN.
Pausing to acknowledge sections of the crowd which waved or shouted to get his attention, Anwar responded: “Enough of one party rule! Enough of corruption and enough of arrogance!”
“We have to seek a new mandate to change for a just multi-racial Malaysia. I say this after travelling throughout the country – do not underestimate the wisdom of our people,” he intoned.
Of the Hindraf leaders who are detained under the Internal Security Act, Anwar said if the offence was committed, it would be rightful to detain them.
“My room in Sungai Buloh (prison) is still vacant but if there is no evidence, they must be released."
Outside, the skies opened up and the drops of rain, lightly at first and became heavier within minutes. That did not dampen the crowd’s spirits as they rushed for shelter. Those who came prepared opened umbrellas and huddled their loved ones close to them.
Karpal Singh, a veteran criminal lawyer and former Internal Security Act detainee, spoke on an independent judiciary and repeated the overused phrase from the Lingam video: "looks like me, sounds like me but it’s not me".
Stressing that DAP and PKR were multi-racial parties, he said: “We cannot afford to have racial-based parties which keep the people divided. After 51-years of Independence, are we still to cling on to shackles that keep us apart?"
He pleaded with voters to deny the BN its two-thirds majority in Parliament.
Next up was Lim who stole the show with his flawless Penang Hokkien, regaling the crowd on oft-repeated issues like rule-of-law and the choice for chief minister.
Referring to the emergence of Padang Kota incumbent assemblyman Teng Chang Yeow as a front-runner for the coveted post, he asked: “Where did Teng come from? Is it because the chief minister does not have the power to decide?”
He also questioned the legality of the Penang Global City Centre (PGCC) asking if their opinion was sought before it was approved. He said the projects had defied the Kebun Bunga local government rules which limited buildings to only three storeys.
“Penang is hot enough, Penang is congested enough and we do not need those projects. We need more green lungs. We need more green paths and that is why I say they do not respect the people,” Lim said, to the applause of the crowd.
He appealed to the people "to unite under the banner of democracy and not race and religion".
“Penang must lead in the battle because of its history of fighting for democracy. Penang’s 1.5 million people should lead in the 27 million people to bring change,” he said.
