Tax hike underscores need for careful planning for lodging.

I WOULD like to share two blessings that Penang has to offer which even some Penangites might not be aware of.

Hikers can roam freely on state’s trails without threats from wildlife.

MY LAST water bill was RM7.48, but that is not the monthly amount. Penang homes get billed for water once every two months.

THE word “oxymoron” is not an insult to anybody’s intelligence.

LOOK at a satellite photo of Penang island and you will see only about half the island is densely inhabited by people while it has a protected hill range boasting a diversity of flora and fauna.

Check first before sharing video of so-called fish deaths linked to radiation water from Fukushima flowing to Penang.

THANK you to the 67% of Penang voters who cast their ballots in the state election on Saturday.

THE George Town versus Ipoh contest of tourism appeal rolls on healthily, and players on both sides have been busy.

KNOWING how the more than 4,000 inshore fishermen in Penang work can help you make better and more delicious choices when buying seafood.

Make wise decisions and strategise when shopping for food to get quality for your nutritional needs.

Blood glucose levels and Penang’s shrinking population give pause for thought.
