I READ with interest and a feeling of nostalgia the letter “Yearning for the old George Town” (The Star, Aug 14). Unlike the writer, I’m not a Penangite but I have been a regular visitor to the island since the late 70s.
I truly loved the George Town of old and still love the way it is today, although mass tourism which is partly due to its World Heritage Status (WHS) is hastening the loss of the city’s authentic character.
