.... continuation from earlier blog post The Penang Talk Part 1

hen you are pist! You don’t use the F word. Instead you say “Punkoq Hang!” which means your bottoms! The second Penang bridge is expected to cost RM4.5 billion. Do we really need a 2nd bridge? On 24 Oct 2010, Penang won the Malaysian Cricket Association Division 1 League after defeating Pahang by 7 wickets. When entering Penang via ferry or bridge, you’ll have to pay, but leaving, no charges. So? Leave by ferry or bridge but going in? Swim?
