5 Bandar terbaik Yang Patut Anda Masukkan Jika Bertandang Ke Iceland

Consumers' Association of Penang (CAP) president Mohideen Abdul Kader has reacted with shock and dismay to the suggestion by Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow that the state government is considering shutting down the problematic Penang Hill funicular train service if it continues to break down.
While Chow stressed on the importance of
passenger safety, CAP said in a statement today that it was shocked at
his announcement last week and it hopes that the shutdown will not be a
permanent one.
"The iconic Penang Hill Railway was opened in
1923 with work beginning in 1920. The last modernisation of the train
was in 2011 which reduced the time of the whole journey to just 10
minutes.
"Penang lost its iconic ferry in December last year.
Are we going to lose another icon that has been operating for nearly 100
years?" asked Mohideen.
He questioned if this announcement was made to favour the cable car project proposed by the state government.
"This
announcement of the possible shutting down of the Penang Hill Railway
seems to be building up the logic of the need for a cable car, either as
a replacement or an alternative to carrying people up the hill.
"CAP is not against shutting down the Penang Hill Railway for repairs
or servicing as the safety of the train is most important, but to give
the excuse that the train continues to break down and is problematic,
and therefore that it may be shut down is like giving up any hope on
this iconic service which is both important for tourists and residents
on the hill, he said.
CAP reminded Chow of the uproar that followed the decomission of the Penang ferries and said that he could expect a similar reaction.
"The Penang Hill Railway had also created many wonderful memories for both Penangites and tourists.
"There will be a public uproar if the Penang State Government decides
to shut down the Penang Hill Railway for good just as there was a public
uproar when the Penang Ferry was closed last year.
"The blame was easy then as it was the Federal Government’s
decision to close it. But the Penang Hill Railway is under the State
Government and this will incur the wrath of Penangites if the State
decides to close the Penang Hill Railway," Mohideen added.
He
said that the source of the breakdown should be located and rectified
and that in this high-tech age, it seemed incredible that breakdowns of
the hill railway could not be reduced substantially or prevented.
"Repair and service the Penang Hill railway at all costs for the
passengers’ safety but to completely shut it down and abandon it is
irresponsible as the train was changed and modernised only in 2011," he
said.

Stop Over Abu Dhabi
Clad in Macedonian marble, the beautiful and absolutely mammoth Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is Abu Dhabi's landmark building and the most popular sightseeing attraction in the city. The mosque fuses Mameluke, Ottoman, and Fatimid design elements to create a harmonious and thoroughly modern mosque that celebrates Islamic architecture. It used glass-work, mosaic tiling, and intricate carvings to spectacular effect on both the interior and exterior.
It was opened in 2007 after 20 years of construction. Able to hold 40,000 worshippers, it is the biggest mosque in the United Arab Emirates, and it was dedicated to the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan.
Non-Muslims are allowed into all areas of the mosque (including the vast library), and guided tours are available.
