Preserve WWII pillbox for future generations

PENANG-based youth groups Generasi Penang and Penggerak Komuniti Muda (Peka) cleaned up a World War II pillbox at Permatang Damar Laut, George Town, yesterday.

The historic relic is believed to have been built by the British to guard the southern front of Penang Island during World War II. The pillbox has been left unattended and has partly sunk into the sand and vandalised with spray paint.
