Birds fly by night, flats clean by day


GEORGE TOWN: Flocks of pigeons which had taken over at least five units of Rifle Range Flats in Ayer Itam were finally “evicted” by Penang Island City Council (MBPP).

Council workers and officers, accompanied by state Housing Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo and MBPP secretary Datuk Addnan Mohd Razali entered one of the abandoned units after breaking the lock.
