Penang Island is so frustrating.

I've been living in Penang Island for the last 11+ years.

Year by year, things have gotten worse and worse.

Also too much housing development.

All money earned from tourism goes to I don't know where.

Every day I see drains being upgraded yet all drains are always clogged.
Upgrade drains for what.

Commuting around Penang Island is almost impossible.
Kick scooter - kids toy
Skateboard - take time to learn
Bus (rapid penang) - hopeless
Car - traffic jam, limited parking spaces
Motorcycle - Dangerous, limited parking spaces
Private Bicycle - Super Dangerous
City Bicycle (Link Bike) - hopeless. mobile app dosen't work. only excepts credit card payment.
Hybrid such as bus + skateboard not going to work.

I want to complain to the authority but I don't know how or where to complain too.

Sell your cars first, then Penang island will have less cars.

I personally find the LED lights too bright but I understand that most Penang view the LED light as an upgrade. Me though, the LED lights while it saves electricty has changed the feel of penang.

It's ideal to sell my car but there's no other way to commute around Penang.
