WITH mixed feelings of happiness and sadness, Penang Island City Council mayor Datuk Maimunah Mohd Sharif chaired the first full council meeting of the year, and her last.

Her final day as the second lady mayor in Penang is Jan 19 and then she leaves the following day for Nairobi, Kenya, to become the executive director of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN­Habitat).
