Folks head out of Klang Valley for ‘wetter’ pastures


GEORGE TOWN: The prospect of having to fetch pails of water in view of a water cut was hardly appealing, so lecturer Hoo Chong Long and his wife decided to come to Penang from their home in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur.

Hoo, 42, and his teacher wife Dorcas Teoh, 43, arrived here on Thursday for a long weekend stay, thanks to the reopening of state borders from Oct 11, and checked into Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa Hotel.
