200

Dear Penang,

I don’t know you very well, yet I know you have all the things I love.

You have beaches, water sports, great food and historical sites.

It suits my heart’s content. You’ve almost got all the things Malacca has, apart from the delicious Jiki.

Yet, isn’t it ironic how much I hate you right now?

And all the things you are doing.

Or would things change if I were there.

Or someone were here.

Would that probably change our view of the island which has everything I love?

Apart from the 4-hour drive trip.

Or a one-hour flight, which costs RM200 at least.

It’s a biased opinion, so please don’t be offended.

I just wish Penang didn’t do this to us.
