One important issue is that of the illegal demolition of the old bungalows in Penang without planning permission.

I am proud of all the effort all Penangites to conserve and protect our Heritage.

As per your speech on YouTube when Pudu Jail was demolished

Please note your speech especially starting from 33 seconds of the video.


It is paramount that developers from Kuala Lumpur are made aware that illegal demolition is not tolerated in Penang a UNESCO Heritage city. All will be lost if they are allowed to demolish buildings and pay a small fine. In this case a RM 6,000.00 fine compared to the Gross Development Value of their project of RM500 million.

As you are aware by now no fine is big enough for developers as they will just pass it on to the end user, your rakyat.

As a deterrent to all developers, planning permission shall not be considered for 20 years.

My fellow Penangites are all concern about our heritage.

For Penang I have volunteered to assist GTWHI the guardian of our heritage city.

Yours sincerely
