Speak up, literally, at Penang’s Speaker’s Square!

GEORGE TOWN: Those who want to speak their mind at the newly-launched Speaker’s Square at the Esplanade here will have to speak up, literally. The state government has banned the use of megaphones, loudspeakers and other sound amplifiers.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who launched the square yesterday, said that the state decided to ban these items “to reduce possible action from the police.”
