Interesting comments on the poor quality of the water off the coast of Penang ... Does anyone have information to verify this? I was thinking of going to the beach!!

News -- yes
negative? are my recent posts negative?
I realise people don't necessarily like staying in luxury hotels but to classify it as negative? not sure Looking for a luxurious place to stay in Penang?
Some don't like the smell or flavour or durian, so I accept that this might not appear to people, but to call my suggestion of a durian negative seems excessive... Durian-do in Penang any body?

Dumping sewage used to be routine in Pattaya, Thailand. Heck, it could make a comeback if they keep building like crazy without having enough supporting infrastructure.

The comments I've heard on Penang is that these 3 new islands will not (as you so clearly put it) "have enough supporting infrastructure" either. I really hope this isn't true. I thought Penang had begun to clean up parts of the island in the last decade or so that I have been visiting.
