👏👏👏 very good drone and video job - very mindful to orientate the viewers to understand Gurney Bay relative to Georgetown and surrounding suburbs. Wonderful showcase of the good efforts that the current PENANG GOVERNMENT IS DOING FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD AND ENJOYMENT. Thank you Kaki World and THANK YOU PENANG DAP GOVERNMENT. No one government is perfect - but we can see that you have tried very hard and have succeeded in 99% of your targets - KUDOS PENANG GOVERNMENT AND ALSO TO THE PENANG LANG FOR SUPPORTING THE GOVERNMENT - you deserve who you vote for - PENANG LANG DESERVES THE BEST!! 👏💪👏
Hi, we are actually Penang-lang who living for many many years and know quite a bit of the surrounding areas as well as the happening since then plus with the help of Uncle Google & Sam's baby (ChatGPT). Thanks for your support !
I was pretty impressed during my first visit and i was asking myself is this malaysia meh 😂 cant wait for the entire project to be completed! But the longkang near main road abit stinky lah😂
Yes, Penang will not be the same again and the trend of Penang's landscape is set to transform significantly, starting with this kind of project that aims to elevate the standard of living to levels often seen in amokau (developed) countries. A well-designed park like this offers a great space for relaxation, whether you're spending time alone or with friends and family, providing a much-needed escape from the stress of a busy workday. Yes yes, fully agree with you on longkau and also eateries as you may sure notice, these are areas that needs focus as well as the condition of hawker centers and kopitiams, many of which still have an outdated 80s feel. The state government should prioritize upgrades to improve hygiene and cleanliness. While a modern or cozy atmosphere isn't a necessity, a tidier, more organized environment would greatly enhance the experience. Thank you so much for your positive & area for improvement comment !
@@World_Kaki-from_Penang You're welcome and I believe Penang worth more promotions like what you're doing! I am neither from Penang nor Kuala Lumpur, but for the past eight years, I have been commuting between the two places for work. I might stay in Kuala Lumpur for half a month, and then return to Penang for half a month. Penang is really moving in a better and better direction, at least towards my dream of Utopia (an atmosphere that is advanced yet retains a retro vibe). Compared to Kuala Lumpur, the only regret is the public transportation. However, with the implementation of LRT, I believe Penang will become even more perfect.😍
Penang State & JKR should upgrade road from Batu Ferenggi - Teluk Bahang road. Upgrade all intersections and incorporate Crosswalk/Zebra Crossings. Upgrade and widen the existing sidewalks, add new sidewalk and walkway to connect existing sidewalks. Relocate bus stop, signboard post and electrical pole off the walkway. Relocate all shitty stalls off sidewalk. Create new footpath network to connect all hotels, beaches and tourist attractions. Provide pedestrians bridge at locations where pedestrians crossing activities are high.
Easier said than DONE. There are " literally THOUSANDS " of individual land owners, stalls, hawkers, etc along Batu Ferringgi . Imagine the "POLITICAL" black lash if land was taken AWAY from XXXX !!!
Thank you for your thoughtful wish list. I completely agree, and I believe every Penang-lang shares these aspirations as well. There's no doubt it's a very challenging task that involves multiple stakeholders and requires a substantial budget. BUT something has to be done rather than waiting things to get worst ....Upgrades to tourist areas should ideally be funded by the federal government, given the large financial and resource requirements. The taxes collected from the tourism industry are ultimately flowing back to the federal government anyway. FYI, Penang contributes the second-highest tax revenue to the federal government, after Sarawak, yet the state receives less than 1% of the federal budget allocation. Often time, the federal government's responses to Penang's requests for infrastructure development funding are either "ministry belum approved" or "tak ada budget" - kena makan sendiri ....We've been requesting a single LRT line for over 10 years, and still, no work has begun! And some outsiders ah-ci-ah-cho, just don’t seem to understand the need for "public service" vs ROI ...
Batu Ferringhi is an asset to Penang tourism but it really needs urgent improvement. For a start, make it pedestrian-friendly. The current night market stalls occupy the sidewalks and cause the pedestrians to walk on the road. The stalls should be upgraded and relocated!
Stay tune. Still too early to judge. If to include STP 1& 2 the total size is 2 times of Marina bay of Singapore. Overall it takes 30 years to complete. Currently Gurney green zone is the 1st phase in progress
Key is still to ensure that Penangites benefit from these developments. Decision then is to concentrate very high density living in four locations. North, South and two central regions. Keeping all existing green areas untouched and expanding them within the dense regions!
Love this video, but how I wish you have a blue sky day when doing the video. Would make the video even nicer! Do return on a blue sky day to do another video!
Thank you for your good suggestion ! Hard to get a good sky for this month ....Hopefully, the sky will clear up in the next month or two for our upcoming update. While a perfect blue sky is rare here, even a 'half-blue' one would leave little to complain about....
Yes you are right. The gateway is actually located offshore of 1-Gurney Condo (see timeline 8:03 in the video) where the expressway switched to undersea tunnel and re-surface again at offshore near Bagan Ajam, mainland with total length of 6.8km . However, the project is still no clear timeline while pending approvals from federal & local regulatory bodies like the Penang Port Commission .... Thank you for your question !
Kerajaan Negeri dan JKR Pulau Pinang sepatutnya menaik taraf jalan dari jalan Batu Ferenggi - Teluk Bahang. Naiktarafkan semua persimpangan dan sediakan Crosswalk/Lintasan Zebra. Menaik taraf dan lebarkan laluan pejalan kaki sedia ada, tambah laluan pejalan kaki baharu untuk menghubungkan laluan pejalan kaki sedia ada. Pindahkan perhentian bas, tiang papan tanda dan tiang elektrik dari laluan pejalan kaki. Pindahkan semua gerai buruk dari kaki lima. Rancang dan bina rangkaian laluan pejalan kaki baharu untuk menghubungkan semua hotel, pantai dan tarikan pelancong. Sediakan jambatan pejalan kaki di lokasi yang aktiviti melintas pejalan kaki tinggi.
Excellent video with so many details, especially the names of the locations and buildings. Do you happen to know, is the car parking area an open space or a multi-storey building ? How many car parking lots are available?
Thank you for watching ! The article from buletin Penang indicated that Phase 1 will have 64 lots of open car park while phase 2 will have 736 with mixed open & multi-storey car park (I believe the building under construction at reserve land in timeline 9:18 at the left is the one - already at 4-storey). Hopefully they will add more as demand will be exceeded during peak hour or festive season. Parking in Penang is indeed very challenging ..... Have a great day !
The parking rate for the 1st hour {RM4/-} is extremely high. It discourages parents from taking their children to the playground. The car park now is always empty.
Has anyone any video shots of the recent high tide & storm in the Straits Quay- Andaman Island Reclaimed land? The reclaimed area does not look very high above water line and seems risky at high tide.
The only state where land is reclaimed for a public park to be built! Where the benefit of the people is prioritised over monetary gain. Well done to the government of penang - other states should all follow suit. (Hope they stop building malls in KL and instead start building public parks!)
We don't want Penang to be another HK. Neither do we want Klang city to become another Chennai or KL to become another Bangladesh. No thank you. ❤ Penang lang 💪🏽 If you want our cities to look like them, go live there.
Thank you for your input ! As long as the land is reserved for a recreational park or garden, I believe it should be acceptable. But hard to tell in future ...

It must be some 30-40 years ago where all the stalls along the coastal road were later moved to hawker center beside Sunrise Tower. Not sure if this is a good or bad side of the development ...... guess depending on which angle you look at it....
@@World_Kaki-from_Penang yes.. i still remember the stall started at the roundabout then all the way beside the roadside.. having rojak buah with sotong then laksa and air mata kuching.. those were the days

Ya, itu juga equally penting. Orang Penang memang mahu ke-dua2 park & highway. Pulau ini kecil, tak akan belanja banyak, harap federal dengar suara orang Penang sikit....
No, not even a shadow ....probably next month as the 6-month dealine for MRT Corp and the SRS Consortium to finalize is ended this month ....keep delaying since >10 years ago but hopefully this time is real.

@@World_Kaki-from_Penang We are coming back to Penang in January - we travel to Malaysia every year. We are looking forward to progress here, Andaman Island, Silicon Island and especially the the new LRT (hopefully starting soon!!)
Yaloh, unable to dream because it is too bright to get sleep 🤣.... seriously, quite curious if their residents or surrounding community have concern about the brightness that may cause discomfort ..... personally, it would be nicer if they can reduce the intensity and save electricity too ...
The trees planted must be carefully selected and maintained to provide adequate shade during the day. Otherwise, people may be less likely to visit during daytime hours.
Yes, thank you for additional info ! This news has sparked some controversy and confusion, as the land appears to be located within the Gurney Bay compound (opposite of Gurney Plaza) which WAS true !! However, the state executive council insists it lies outside Gurney Bay "now" (he forgot to mention that) .......although the land was originally part of Gurney Bay, but 8.5 hectares of state reserve land were transferred to Consortium Zenith Construction (CZC) as part of a land swap deal in payment for the ongoing construction of the Package Two highway project (Ayer Itam bypass - see another youtube th-cam.com/video/D8upR8FinOw/w-d-xo.html ). Zenith has the right to develop the land under mixed development land rule, subject to state government approval, so the rule of "no high-rise building" in Gurney Bay still holds true.... for now
very detail description nice job
Wow, this is what i called beach and city planning! Cheers and Bravo!
