It has been a while( Nearly 6 month) since i last went back to Penang. Also, the great news is that i have been staying at Penang for nearly 1 month since i step my foot officially on the island on 3rd August.
Well, a lot of changes has been seen here and there, especially the opening of a new international school near my house- Tensby International School of Penang as well as other Three Storey Terrace House aligned in a row. This also signifies lots of tress had been cut down for the sake of this development, a development meant to meet the demand the people of Penang and at the same time taking the environment for granted.
Personally, it has been very hot and heaty in my surrounding housing area compared to the previous surrounding when the development has not been carried out.

The development of high rise condominium at Batu Ferringhi( managed to snap it from Yeap's residence.=) |
The Upland School of Penang at batu Ferrighi (near Yeap' residences) |
The construction works done at fourth floor of Island Plaza |
So, with the rapidly development of high rise buildings in Penang to meet the demand of the people, do we love to live in an environment where we could hardly see any tress and greenery around? I really long and wish to have these environment as below ,still preserved nicely in Penang!

What had done is done to mother nature by human. What we can do is have little self awareness by not polluting the environment. This is very important. Whether it is going to reduce global warming by doing so or not? We dont know. But at least, maybe it can help from getting worst.
Please, the government and people of Penang, For the sake of and in the name of GREEN DEVELOPMENT, Please do consider and preserve our natural environment as well. We want GREEN!
