Multilingual signboards in Penang vandalised

GEORGE TOWN: Two signboards with directions in Bahasa Malaysia and Arabic were defaced with red paint, barely 48 hours after they were put up at Lebuh Acheh on Friday.

Local Government, Traffic Management and Environment Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow said he received a call from the police at about 9.30am on Sunday informing him of the incident.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said stern action would be taken against the perpetrators.

“The state will not give in and will continue putting up the signboards no matter what happens.

“We will defend the use of multilingual signboards unless there is a court order,” he said when met at the scene.

Lim urged the public to be more responsible and care for state property.

Asked if the state was going to lodge a police report over the matter, Lim said they would monitor the situation first and only do that if necessary.
