Tanjung City Marina


Tanjung City Marina ~~ It is part of an ambitious RM210 million integrated project to give a facelift to the 1.5km promenade that greets visitors to the island who come by ferry. The authorities hope to give the beachfront strip a new facade complete with historical colonial architecture to blend in with the heritage buildings in the vicinity.

This project encompasses the redevelopment of the old Church Street Pier into a world-class marina complete with restaurants and a clubhouse.

The marina is able to cater to vessels up to a maximum draft of 4 meters. It has 102 berths ranging from 11 meters to 50 meters length and can accommodate up to 140 yachts and boats of various sizes.

Year 2008 for Malaysia and especially Penang people ......

老槟城。老生活



«老槟城。老生活» (Lao Bincheng, lao sheng huo)是由杜忠全著,大将出版社2008年出版及发行。

这是一本书写古早槟城人生活习惯的著作,对想要了解槟城的人来说,这是一本不容错过的著作。

«老槟城。老生活»的封面写着“老槟城叙述老槟城的情调生活、童玩、时尚行业、牛棚马房、旧婚俗等。有血有肉,有色彩,有声音,有味道!”

对年轻的槟城人来说,这本书让你了解老一辈槟城人的生活,了解槟城的历史;对年长的槟城人来说,这本书会让您想起当年您曾经这样活过,让您记忆中也许已经是模糊的古早槟城有了缤纷的色彩。

槟城乔治市在今年七月被列为世界文化遗产, 作为一个文化遗产的子民,我们更应该深入了解老槟城的老生活,因为从老槟城的老生活中找回今天跟昨天的联系,我们才能融入和体会世界文化遗产的美妙。

Boxing Day

Today is Dec 26, 2008, Boxing Day!

Also exactly 4 years after the Tsunami that claimed many lives.

We always said that Malaysia is blessed because our country don't have natural disaster as compared to our neighbouring countries. However, since Dec 26, 2004, we realized that Tsunami can happen in Malaysia also!

Natural disaster can happen to anybody, let's take this Tsunami as a painful lesson that tells us:-
1) Stay away from the beach when you sees abnormal sign of the sea conditions
2) Run as fast as you can and never look back when big wave is chasing after you
3) Always keep an alert eye of the sea even the sea looks calm

We can't stop natural disaster from happening, we can only do our best to minimize the damage.
