Recently there has been some news regarding Penang Komtar:
Penangites hope to see better days for the tower
Putting Komtar together again
Penang to scrap ‘Mini Putrajaya’ project
Komtar Time Line
I would like to draw your attention to the deplorable state of Komtar. This post is originally posted in SkyscraperCity Forum, Penang KOMTAR Thread.
Sorry for the unflattering photographs. It was taken using my camera phone, on 27/12/2007.
Ceiling of one of the toilets in ground floor, near the bus station
Extremely dirty information board, with the previous (failed) bus revamp notice still intact.
The sorry state of the integrated bus station, notice the total emptiness of the stores in the background.
Lane 1 and 2, dedicated for RapidPenang.
On a side note, why would people buy food or eat at the stores (in the background), where carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide fumes are overwhelming?
Well, self-explanatory.
The previous state government’s allocation of RM10 million is totally inadequate to bring KOMTAR back to the old days. With Penang Times Square and the new KOMTAR Phase 3 by Lion Mutiara Parade Sdn. Bhd. upcoming, how does one expect Komtar and Prangin Mall to shine again? Please. RM10 million? Don’t kid me.
