Come Home to Penang

This is an advertisement in the Star Metro Northern Region.



Personally, I feel Penang doesn't have to try so hard to make a statement like this because our island has so much to offer to tourists, overseas and local. (The advertisement is accompanied with a write up on how little we suffered from the tsunami.)



Penang has earned a name in the world now as being one of the little island slightly struck by the tsunami. Why not just boost up our promotions on the beauty of the island instead of trying to compare the devastation? We know it is a fact that Phuket, Maldives and Sri Lanka have suffered some repercussions of the tragedies and disasters. So, let us as Penangites take this opportunity to portray to the world how great we were and still are, tsunami or not. Let's try to do our bit to help the families who were affected by the tsunami to get back on their feet and look forward to promote the island.



*I am a new blogger who likes to see things differently. My postings will be mostly thoughts I have on the tsunami and how it affects laymen like me. I have just set up a new blog 'Faces of Penang' and hope to do my part in promoting the island.*
