Penang Hill isn’t like Genting Highlands

Recently, the Penang government said it would call for tenders to build two hotels on the colonial-era hill resort. It was reported that the state government plans to build large hotels behind the Convalescent Bungalow (about 200 rooms) and at Coolie Lines (about 100 rooms).

As Penang Hill is environmentally sensitive, we are extremely worried that any disruption, sedimentation or pollution of our water catchment areas from the construction of these hotels would jeopardize the water supply of a water-stressed state like Penang.

It is worth reminding that Penang Hill suffered more than 300 landslides during the November 2017 storm. Please stop killing our beautiful hills.

The #SavePenangHill online petition has garnered more than 22,000 signatures today, within only six days. Now even reached ~29,000. They need our support too > https://bit.ly/2FzrTNp
