GEORGE TOWN: From Penang to Nairobi, Kenya. That could be where Datuk Maimunah Mohd Sharif is going after being the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) mayor for only about six months. She has been named as the possible executive director of the United Nations’s Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), which is headquartered in that African country. If she accepts the appointment, then MBPP may have to look for a new mayor. Its mission is to promote socially and environmentally sustainable human settlements and the achievement of adequate shelter for all.
