DECADES ago, anyone could make unfavourable comments about anything in Penang and get away with it. Now, try passing those unfavourable comments digitally or orally and you will find keyboard warriors and eager Penangites ready to hose you down. Pick any topic, be it on development, housing, amenities, culture, food or our driving behaviour, and there will be Penangites ready to fight you over it. I observe that many Penangites do not hesitate to upbraid those who think poorly of Penang. Many Penangites tend to stay in the state for long periods of time.
