WITH the Sia Boey Rejuvenation Project nearing completion, many Penangites are eager to see the place come alive once more.

A check by The Star found that the Sia Boey market hall and its surrounding along Jalan Dr Lim Chwee Leong are now partially landscaped with a modern playground complete with a clean canal filled with koi fish.
