PENANG wants the perpetrators of therecent mob attack on the state assembly

building to face a possible life imprison-ment for offences against the person of theYang Di-Pertuan Agong, Ruler or YangDi-Pertua Negeri.

This is stated in the Penal Code (Act

574) under Section 121B which reads:Whoever compasses, imagines, invents orintends the deposition or deprivation of theYang di-Pertuan Agong from the sover-eignty of Malaysia or the deprivation or

deposition of the Ruler, his heirs or succes-

sors, or of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri fromthe rule of a State, or the overawing bymeans of criminal force or the show of

criminal force the Government of Malaysiaor of any State, shall be punished withimprisonment for life and shall also be li-able to fne.

The Penang State exco members hadstrongly condemned the act by the hooli-

gans who stormed into the Penang StateAssembly on May 21 while the assemblywas in session.

On May 28, the State exco decided thatPenang will write to the attorney-general

and inspector-general of police to charge

WE do not discriminate against wom-en in Penang and we at the state govern-

ment rmly and strongly believe thatwomen have much to contribute to thestate and their perspective can add muchvalue to the economy, said PenangChief Minister Lim Guan Eng in his

speech at the MEF National IndustrialRelations Conference on May 15.

Lim added to this stand by pointingout that both councils in Penang Pen-ang Island Municipal Council (MPPP)

and Seberang Perai Municipal Council

(MPSP) - are headed by two competentand capable women with a strong back-ground in science.

As we can all see, Penang as of now

is cleaner, greener, safer and healthier.As much as I would like to take creditfor this, I think that this change is dueto the leadership and capabilities of thepeople leading MPPP and MPSP, Datuk

Patahiyah Ismail and Maimunah Mohd.Shahrif respectively, Lim said.

He said this on the rst day of the

state assembly sitting on May 19.

This time round, his comments weremade in regard to the outright im-moral written attack on DAP by-elec-tion candidate for Teluk Intan, Dyana

Sofya Mohd Daud, by a local daily.Articles in the newspaper and over

the internet condemned Dyana for beinga puppet of DAP and to top it all off,pictures of her apparently clad in reveal-

ing swimwear were soon to follow.Further reports later showed that the

pictures were not of Dyana but of aFilipino actress.

It is already hard enough for women

to step up in the political arena. To haveone willing and brave enough to do so

go through unnecessary rude statementsand attacks on her honour and name istoo much, Lim said.

Lim ended his speech by saying thatwe should all help encourage women totake up politics in todays day and age,and not demean them with false accusa-tions.

IN a move to help Tamil kindergartens and Punjabi schools inPenang, the state government recently made an allocation for them.

We have received allocations from the Penang state governmentsince 2010 when we got RM42,000, Therashan Singh, principalof Punjabi Education Centre in Butterworth, told Buletin Mutiara

at the aid presentation event in Komtar on May 14.From 2011 until now, we have been getting RM25,000 annu-

ally. The money is used for the teachers salaries, utility bills andother expenses. It certainly helps as we want to ensure that theyounger generation learns the language.

The total given to three Punjabi schools this year is RM65,000while 22 Tamil kindergartens got RM100,000.

Another RM84,000 was allocated to a Tamil Schools Committeespecial fund.

Since 2009, when Pakatan Rakyat took over the administrationof Penang, the state government has continuously helped the Chi-nese, mission, Tamil and Islamic (Sekolah Agama Rakyat) schools.

The event was attended by several state leaders, state agenciesand representatives of the Tamil kindergartens and Punjabi schools.

In his speech, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng highlighted the fact

that the Deputy Education Minister II P. Kamalanathan had opposedthe Penang state governments proposal to set up a Tamil secondaryschool.

The state government is willing to offer a piece of land in But-terworth for free so that the federal government can build the school.Unfortunately, in a letter dated Jan 8, the proposal was opposed by

the Deputy Education Minister, Lim said.Why? Why did the Deputy Minister oppose it? Lim asked. Therashan Singh (right), principal of Punjabi Education Centre, is all smiles at the ceremon

KARPAL Singhs name is etched ina learning centre, barely a monthafter his death on April 17.

On May 9, Datuk Seri KalimullahHassan, chairman of ECM Libra

Foundation, expressed ECM Librasdesire to pay tribute to the late Karpalwho served the constituency of BukitGelugor.

This was accepted by Chief Min-

ister Lim Guan Eng.Thank you, Datuk Seri Kalimul-

lah and ECM Libra Foundation fornot only donating RM4 million tobuild the learning centre but also to

name it as Karpal Singh PenangLearning Centre, Lim said at theopening of the centre.

The state government allocated2.63 acres of land for the site at JalanKaki Bukit in Gelugor and i t took 14

months to complete construction.Apart from the learning centre, it

is also equipped with six badmintoncourts.

This is a classic example of the

success of the Public-Private Partner-ship (PPP) model in action, Limsaid to loud applause.

In his speech, Kalimullah said:To be honest, we approached a fewother state governments before this

offering to build such facilit ies ostate land and to let them managit. While the Chief Ministers wspoke to were enthusiastic, so fa

only the Penang Chief Ministedelivered on his promise.

ECM Libra Foundations objective is to provide learning opportunities to the underprivileged an

focus on education because thebelieve that education is the onlway for the less privileged to escap

the clutches of poverty and to contribute to nation building.

In his closing speech, Kalimullasaid: Our only hope is that thoswho pass through here will makthe best use of this learning centrand badminton academy. If on

Karpal Singh or one Lee Chong Weemerges through our effort, it wibe reward enough for us in thfoundation.

The event was attended by Penan

state leaders and also Karpals family members.

CHIEF Minister Lim Guan Eng, who is

also Bagan MP, has always made his standknown on the state of education in Ma-laysia.

He was at the launch of the KarpalSingh Penang Learning Centre when he

spoke at length about the situation andprovided statistics and gures and alsosuggestions on improving.

We live in an ever fast-changingworld environment where the one assured

path to success is a sound education sys-

tem. Not only can education reduce in-come inequality, but it can provide socialmobility and economic opportunity to all.In short, education is the lifeboat to our

future, he said.The World Bank in its report noted that

a lynchpin of Malaysias transformationinto a high-income, sustainable and in-clusive economy is ensuring the country

has a high-performing education system.It added that access to schooling is a

necessary but insufcient condition forbuilding human capital that will propeleconomic growth. In addition to ensuringthe system has the broadest possible cov-

erage (quantity), the quality of educationis perhaps even more critical.

Lim pointed out that Malaysias edu-cation system is in a downward spiralfollowing the latest Organisation forEconomic Co-operation and Develop-ment (OECD) report on education assess-

ment that only one out of 100 15-year-oldMalaysian students are able to solvecomplex problems.

We are willing to work together withthe federal government to address the

wide disparity between its best and worstperformers in order to improve educa-

tional standards, he said.Giving an example of the disparity,Lim said: Whilst Malaysia invests more

than 20% of our national budget on edu-cation, there is no value for money as suchinvestment serves to satisfy the needs ofbureaucrats rather than meet the aspira-tions of the students to acquire knowledge

and skills in order to realise their talentand potential. For instance, Malaysiaspends less than Thailand on educationfor students in the rst 10 years of theireducation from 6 years to 15 years old.

Luis Benveniste, the World Bankslead education specialist for the East Asiaregion, says scholars have argued that forMalaysia to catch up with high-income

economies like Japan and South Korea,it requires the growth of a capital- andskill-intensive manufacturing sector, andof a high-productivity service industry.

Where our education fails our econ-omy can be seen by our low number ofuniversity graduates. Gross tertiary enrol-ment in Malaysia is only 37.1%, far be-hind South Koreas 101%, Finlands 96%

and the US 95%. About 25% of Malay-sian males between the ages of 15 and 19are in the labour force, Lim said.

Unless there is a mindset shift towardsinvestment in education accompanied by

high aspirations as a nation to build onhuman capital, how can we grow into ahigh-income developed economy?

One solution towards resolving Ma-laysias education crisis is rejecting the

stultifying one size ts all uniformityin favour of customisation that returns tothe basic principles of pursuing excel-lence and the teaching of cognitive andnon-cognitive skills.

The time has come to empower teach-ers by rewarding the best, getting the bestout of them with cognitive and non-cognitive teaching and the ablility to helpstudents who fall behind. Malaysia has

no choice but to develop a high-perfing education system that focuses on

cognitive (factual knowledge) and cognitive (team work, leadershipcommunication) skills. We cannot peour education to fail our economysaid.

We must be confident and da

enough to invest in education. We provide our youths with opportunitiesupply them with platform to demonstheir talent and strengths. For it is

when we are bold enough to invest ifuture can we truly be victors of it.In this light therefore, the Penang

government will be adopting a thpronged approach towards strengtheits education system, namely:-

- Providing annual funding to all eing partly-funded vernacular and gious schools;

- Building learning centres withconcept of STEM - Teaching of Scie

- Technology, English and Mathemas their main focus; and

- Attracting world class universitiwell as adopting the German vocatschool system within multi-national

porations.

The state government through the Pen-ang State Housing Department is givingthe 26 blocks of ats one of the most ex -pensive repainting jobs on the island andmainland.

The Penang State Housing Department

is constantly ensuring that the peoplespublic housing projects are maintained ingood condition, exco member for Hous-ing, Jagdeep Singh Deo told a press con-

ference on May 21 at Taman Tun Sardon.So far, they have spent RM770,000

here in Taman Tun Sardon to repair leakyroofs and waterproong works, removingtrees growing wildly on the walls andcleaning and repairing the pump house,

he added.Today, we are glad to announce that

A TOTAL of 119 people had applied forthe 1Malaysia Maintenance Funds

(TP1M) since last year but only threewere approved.

Due to the delay in approval, theresidents in Taman Pinang ats in JalanSungai Pinang had to bear 20% of the

RM155,000 cost for roof repairs, excofor Housing, Town and Country Planning

Jagdeep Singh Deo said at a press confer-ence in Komtar recently, adding that 80%of the cost was borne by the state.

Jagdeep said the state has demanded

that the federal government reimburse itfor the delay in the approval of theTP1M.

Under the TP1M, the federal govern-ment partially bears the maintenance of

low-cost and low medium-cost flatscountrywide under a 90:10 and 70:30ratio respectively with the managementbodies.

The state has allocated RM50 million

to pay for the management bodies re-

maining share of 10% and 30% mainte-nance costs through its Housing Assis-tance Programme of Penang.

Jagdeep said he asked the State Treas-ury to ofcially request for the 90% orRM139,500 that should have been paid

for this project.The state government will then reim-

burse Taman Pinang management the20% or RM31,000, he added.The remaining of RM108,500 is for

us to cover our contribution.He said till to date they had also com-

pleted the maintenance work in TamanEmas, Sungai Batu in Bayan Lepas andTaman Haji Mohd Amin and Taman

Ratna on the mainland.Jagdeep remarked that the TP1M

funding was urgently needed in relationto works that were considered critical,like the replacement of water tanks, re-

wiring and roof repairs.

Breaking through

DESECRATING the sanctity of a

symbol of democracy here in Pen-

ang, a group believed to comprise

some 40 Penang Umno Youth

members, together with a collec-

tion of a few pro-Umno non-gov-

ernmental organisations stormed

the gates of the state legislative

assembly building on May 21.

The group, spewing violent

words, racist remarks and a call forblood, gathered at the gates of the

building at 2pm, demanding an

apology from R.S.N Rayer, as-

semblymember for Seri Delima,

for making an anti-Umno remark

at the assembly.

Rayer had apprently uttered the

statement, Umno celaka (Umno

be damned) while debating the

Penang Governors speech the day

before.

The groups protest which

brought about an atmosphere of

unrest the moment they arrived on

site took a major turn for the worst

at about 2.15pm, when they vio-

lently shook the front gates, un-

hinging it, an act that could have

injured dozens in the process, and

paved the way for eight protesters

to muscle their way into the

grounds.

Once inside the hall, the mob

demanded to see Rayer but fortu-

nately, he and most of the state

exco members were not present as

the lunch break was still on. Theintruders caused a huge commo-

tion, shouting at the top of their

lungs and jumping on tables and

resisting security personnel who

were trying to escort them out.

After 15 minutes, feeling like

their point had been made, the

unruly mob made their way out of

the hall, nally listening to the as-

semblys protocol ofcer.

Words of hate outside the

gates

Once back outside, things did

not settle down as the mob still

demanded for Rayer. Speaking

over a portable microphone and

loudhailer, the group, led by Ah-

mad Yakqub Nazri from the Ga-

bungan Pelajar Melayu Semenan-

jung Penang division yelled out

statements like,

Rayer Celaka,

If you are a man, come out and

say your words in front of my

face,

This will not end here, weknow where you live, we know

your ofce, we know your car, we

will nd you, and then you will be

sorry,

You insulted Umno and in do-

ing so you have insulted the Ma-

lays and directly, Islam.

While on the topic of Rayer, the

group also took the opportunity to

hurl insults at the DAP political

party, calling it racist and that this

act today was a direct consequence

of the actions of the party.

At 2.45pm the police Federal

Reserve Unit (FRU) arrived and

formed a barricade in front of themain gate.

George Town police chief ACP

Mior Faridalatrash Wahid who also

just arrived on the scene told the

mob to disperse, but to no avail as

the call for Rayer was still going

on strong as eggs and other objects

were thrown at the front gates,

damaging the state crest.

A Resolution of some sorts

Eventually, at about 3.20pm,

two BN/Umno assemblymembers

came to the gates asking for three

leaders of the mob to come inside

and discuss the issue.

The three were led into a meet-

ing room to have a closed-door

meeting with the BN/Umno reps,

together with assembly speaker

Datuk Law Choo Kiang, state exco

Chow Kon Yeow and Jagdeep

Singh with other assembly-mem-

bers also present.

The meeting lasted 20 minutes

and ended with the three being

escorted back out the gates by the

two Umno reps.

As they made their way to the

gate, the mob still going strongwith the protest, greeted them, the

Umno reps included, with ap-

plause and cheers of praise.

The mob dispersed at 4.15pm.

When the assembly reconvened

for the after session, exco for Local

Government Chow Kon Yeow

moved a motion to condemn and

take action against what had just

happened.

The House has never been

intruded like this before in the his-

tory of Penang and possibly even

Malaysia. This breach is nothing

short of an assault on the so

eignty of the state and the coun

Chow added, pointing out tha

state and country ags were

aged during the intrusion.

When the motion came up

vote, the BN/Umno assem

members chose not to cast

votes while every other assem

member voted for the motion

passed.

Taking up this matter

away, Air Itam assemblyme

Wong Hon Wai said: To tho

you who did not vote, do you k

what you are implying? Yoimplying that you approve of

I want the police to take up

case immediately to ensure

safety and sanctity of the as

blys proceedings, he added

Mob attack on state assembly

Save water now before El Nino strikeTHE coming drought season,caused by the El Nino effect andexpected to begin end of this month,

may last between six and 18 months.As such, to avoid a severe water

shortage, Penangites must worktowards conserving water to mini-mise the effect of El Nino.

While Penang did not sufferfrom water rationing the last timeround, the El Nino situation may bemore severe, Chief Minister LimGuan Eng said in a recent statement.

In this regard, Lim said, the stategovernment has directed Perbadan-an Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang(PBAPP) to adopt all water supplyand water demand management

measures, including increasingwater tariffs, to avoid water ration-

ing.

PBAPP has even been warnedthat if water rationing is imposeddespite adopting these measures,then heads will roll, Lim said.

As such, the state governmenthas directed PBAPP to monitor thewater supply situation in the state.

The water authority will provideweekly reports on the effective ca-

pacities of the Air Itam Dam and theTeluk Bahang Dam, as well as thelevels of Sungai Muda, Penangsmain source of raw water.

PBAPP has also been directed to

take all the necessary precautions

from now to prepare for the El Nio

phenomenon.Our stand is rm: we have to

avoid water rationing in Penang atall costs, so that our people andbusinesses do not suffer, Lim said.

But I would like to urge allwater consumers in Penang to startconserving water now. The stategovernment and PBAPP need yourcooperation to avoid water rationingin Penang, if El Nio occurs and

there is another long drought thisyear, Lim added.

We have to prolong our waterreserves for as long as possible inthe face of a potential six-18 month

drought.

El Nio refers to the occurrence

of warm ocean temperatures in theSouth Pacic that can create ex-

treme droughts and oods all overthe world, including in Penang andMalaysia.

PBAPP recently received a letterfrom the Energy, Green Technologyand Water Ministry stating that theWorld Meteorological Organisation(WMO) had forecast the possibility

of this threat. However, the WMOis still unable to assess its potentialglobal impact.

In the letter, the ministrys secre-tary-general, Datuk Loo Took Gee,

pointed out that the hot and dryseason last January and February

had affected water supply in JNegri Sembilan, Perak, Selaand Kuala Lumpur.

Water rationing had to beposed and this caused hardsh

the people and businesses.Loo cautioned that if El

occurs as predicted, the scecould be worse.

As such, the ministry ha

quested all state governmentsare responsible for raw water magement to audit effective wstorage capacities and make prations to ensure water sufci

Measures have to be takprevent a water crisis more daing than the one earlier this ye

MAJILIS Perbandaran SeberangPerai (MPSP) has taken their

annual Budget Survey to newheights. It has broadened its out-reach and has made a concertedeffort to reach out to as manyresidents of Seberang Perai as

possible. In previous years thefocus had mainly been on theonline budget survey but its im-pact had been limited as it wasonly available to those who had

internet access.

In preparing for the 2015budget survey the managementof MPSP was motivated by theobjective to encourage participa-

tory decision making and also tobe gender responsive. Right fromthe stage of preparing the ques-tions to be included in the survey MPSP, sought the input of

Penang Womens DevelopmentCorporations (PWDC) - genderresponsive and participatorybudgeting team. This consciouseffort on the part of MPSP to

ensure that gender perspectivesare covered in the questionnaireis a clear testimony that the years

of collaboration, since 2012,between PWDC and MPSP havebegun to bear fruits.

Arising from a Gender Com-mittee meeting held on March21, 2014 it was decided that

MPSP budget survey questionsbe made available in four lan-guages, Bahasa Malaysia, Man-darin, Tamil and English. Themeeting which was attended by

several Municipal Councillorsand Heads of Departments alsoconcluded that the budget surveymust reach out and be inclusive.

In line with the aim to reachout and specically to hear the

voices of women, on May 5, theState Exco for Women, Family,

Youth, Sports and Community

Development and concurrentlythe Chairperson of PWDC, PuanChong Eng, together with MP-

SPs YDP Puan Maimunah Sha-rif called for a special session

inviting members of BrigedWanita (Penangs Women Bri-gade) to complete the budgetsurvey questionnaire.

The session re-ceived the strongsupport of the

Briged Wanitamembers fromstate constituenciessuch as BaganDalam, Permatang

Pasir, Padang Lalang, PinangTunggal, Sungei Acheh and Pen-anti. Dr. Norlela Arifn the stateassembly person for Penanti was

also on hand to lend her supportand a strong contingent of BrigedWanita members from Penantiparticipated in the survey.

The objective of the specialbudget survey session with mem-

bers of Briged Wanita was torecord the voices of women. It

was to tap into the wide networkof available members and pro-vide them with a platform toaddress the budget survey from

a womans viewpoint.All in all more than f

Briged Wanita memberssponded to the call and c

forward to complete the busurvey. This session to invthe Briged Wanita memseeking their feedback ansponses is a manifestatio

MPSP objective to be constive and people oriented. nicantly too, Briged Wanwillingness to come forward

present their views is a testimthat they are willing to stanand be heard.

To encourage participaand engage in consultatioa major boon for good gov

ance and all the partiesvolved, PWDC, Briged Wand MPSP should be dcommended for their posinitiative.

A LOCAL English daily was re-cently slammed for misreporting aresidents angry outburst at Bukit

Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh duringhis early morning campaign walka-bout prior to the recent by-election.

Chairman of the Island GladesVillage Development and Security

Committee (JKKK) Ooi Poey Lamlashed out at the daily over an articlepublished on May 15, where thecomplainant known as Soo, 65, wasupset that the street lamps in the

residential area were switched off at

4am instead of 6am leaving earlymorning joggers exercising in thedark.

Ramkarpal and Sri Delima assem-

blymember R.S.N Rayer were givena earful from the elderly lady andthey assured her that they will per-sonally look into the matter.

The article caught a lot of part ies

off guard including the Penang Is-land Municipal Council (MPPP). We

are upset because the reporter did noteven get our side of the story whichaffects the integrity of our JKKK,

said Ooi.Ooi posed the question as to which

street lamps she and the reporterwere referring to as the street light-ing in the area works like clockwork

from 7pm to 7am daily controlled bythe municipal council and Tenaga

Nasional Berhad.

We only have control ofbasketball courts lights whichon an automatic timer from 6.4to 7.15am. Sometimes when lining trips the system, the a

matic lighting will fail the nmorning and we will have to ctechnician to reset it, he adde

Ooi was primarily upset thatnewspaper did not check with or any other JKKK members be

proceeding to publish the storyeven more so when no one from

publication attended the press cference on the issue.He did not discount the poss

ity that the issue was highlight ediscredit Ramkarpal beforeBukit Gelugor by-election on 25.

On that particular morning, R

karpal and Rayer even took the to participate in taichi exercwith the senior citizens.

Backer insisting the Chief Minister exit his vehicle and meet him outside the gates oassembly hall grounds, right before jumping at the car.

IN a bizarre turn of events, BukitGelugor by-election candidateAbu Backer Sidek Mohd Zancaused a ruckus when he tried to

meet Chief Minister Lim GuanEng at the Penang State Legisla-tive Assembly in the most pecu-liar of ways.

Abu Backer had arrived at the

building at about 12.30pm, try-ing to meet the Chief Ministerbut was denied a meeting.

When the Chief Ministersofficial car was seen leaving the

premises, Abu Backer stepped infront of the car, and appe ared to

have kicked the vehicle andbanged on it in frustration, in-sisting the Chief Minister come

out to meet him.Seeing that things werent go-

ing anywhere, and after the as-sembly hall guards tried to re-move him, the by-election can-

didate jumped at the CMs car,fell, then apparently faintedand placed his head, while on theground, comfortably under thefront portion of the vehicle.

Present on site was Buletin

Mutiaras Mark James who was

seen trying to calm the situation,helping to remove Abu Backer.

My duty as a reporter is to

report the news truthfully to thebest of my abilities, but some-times, when an act of injusticehappens, one has to let go ofthat duty, and do whats right.

If we dont stand u p for whatsright, what use do we have call-ing ourselves a democracy?James said when asked why hestepped up to hel p remove Abu

Backer.I not iced that the guards

werent able to remove him as

he threatened to sue if anyonel a i d a f i n g e r o n h i m . T h e y

formed a human barricade infront of him, but he was stilltrying to get through. I kept mycamera and then used my bodyto block his way, he added.

Once on the ground, AbuBacker was then moved to theside and taken to the hospitaland reports have said that he h asnot sustained any injuries. His

antics caused a massive trafficbuild-up in the highly popu latedarea during the lunch rush hour.

Story and pix by Chan Lilian

HERITAGE is probably the

right word to describe thedelicious foods at the PadangBrown afternoon hawkersstalls, or commonly known asPadang. My father used to

sell popiah under the trees in

the 1950s before this stall wasbuilt, popiah seller Ong LengHin, 58, said.

The popiah, or fresh springroll, is probably the best in

Penang as the recipe has re-mained unchanged.

Crab meat is used in thepopiah and the roll is full ofeggs, soyabean cakes, turnips

and carrots.What makes the popiah

outstanding is the sauce thathas a rich taste of seafood andis orangey in colour.

It is served piping hot,with seafood and crunchy

vegetables.A trip to

Padang is not complete with-out bowls of cendol and aiska-

cang. Again, this is anotherstall that has maintained thetraditional way of preparingthe sweet dessert.

Small red beans are slow

cooked till soft, while thecendol remains handmade and

has pandan fragrance.Ooi Kean Hye, or fondlyknown as Lou Wong, is 57 and

took over his fathers businessas well.

His mouth is as sweet as thedesserts he sells.

He told Buletin Mutiaras

Chan Lilian: Please tell LimGuan Eng he is a very good

Chief Minister. We know hesayang (love) the hawkers andcommon people like us. He has

helped us a lot. Please tell himto come and eat here.

While most of the hawkersare second generation who hadcarried on their fathers secret

recipes, Thor Eng Seng, 36,inherited the Chinese pasemborbusiness from his grandfather.

Chinese pasembor or cheh-hu in Hokkien is less spicy

than the Indian- Muslim

version but it has its ownvour and is a favourite

tea-time snacks.Crispy crackers, soft s

b e a n c a k e a n d f r i t t ehealthy raw cucumber turnip, beansprouts and weed a re topped wi t

sweetish and sourish samade from tomatoes andtatoes.

I am happy the PenIsland Municipal Councupgrading this hawker c

plex. We have not had upgrading for more thanyears. I am sure with the design, tourists will be fl

ing to this place, Thor sOther than these foodsPadang has some of the laksa, lok-lok, yong tau char koay teow, HokkMee and others.

At night, the opposite has Muslim stalls.

The Chinese hawker sopen from 1.30 pm to 6pm and are closed on Th

days.Padang Brown is loc

at the Jalan Anson/Jalantuk Keramat junction.

Superb

spread atPadang

The best popiah in Penang issaid to be from Padang Brownbecause it has fresh crabmeatand piping hot avourful soup

drenched on the spring rolls.

Have you tried Chinesepasembor? It is the

less spicy and healthierversion of the Indian-Muslim one.

Ong says he is stillusing the same recipeas his father whostarted selling popiahin the 1950s at thesame spot.
