Atmosphere at Tanjung Tokong village different this time around

GEORGE TOWN: Hari Raya was greeted with merriment by one group of villagers at the 200-year-old Kampung Tanjung Tokong but there was an air of melancholy over the other part of the village which is to make way for a mixed-development project.

The atmosphere, according to Kampung Tanjung Tokong Residents Association adviser Mahmud Yusoff, was only “so-so” compared to previous years.
