I'm appalled! Any attempt to even suggest shutting down the Penang Hill Railway is sacrilegious. And with the suggestion coming from no less a person than the Chief Minister, it is unforgiveable. Have we not lost enough of the state's heritage in recent years? Have we forgotten how the beloved Penang Ferry has been consigned to a footnote in history? Therefore, any attempt to close down the Penang Hill railway system should be resisted!
We need a Penang-born Chief Minister who can and will appreciate Penang's heritage and cultural richness. He should exhaust all ways to address the maintenance and safety of the Penang Hill railway system, instead of taking a shortcut by saying it could be closed down. Could it be that he wants to push for the cable car system at the expense of the hill railway?
