Watch Out for Our Great Police!

Welcome to Penang Island !!

If you are driving to Penang Island, you will be greeted by the straight and easy Jelutong Expressway if you are heading towards Georgetown. Soon you will see E-Gate building and next to it is the first Tesco store in Penang.

Attached is a photo of Tesco store landmark taken from the opposite direction from Georgetown going towards the Penang bridge.



Usually in the afternoon, you may also be greeted by a traffic police roadblock after Tesco (if you have not diverted towards Udini Underpass heading to Greenlane or Batu Ferringhi) but heading straight towards Georgetown. The speed limit here is 80kmh and hidden speed cameras is a norm but usually a full scale road block is due to offences committed like NOT Wearing Safety Belt and Using Handphone while driving.

A close-up photo will reveal a traffic policeman hiding behind a plant (when it is a hot sunny day) or just standing behind the huge unipole (when the weather is cloudy and cooler, where he has a better vantage view inside passing vehicles). Sometimes he is disguised as a gardener, plant itself, pissing behind the plant or just some dumbass doing nothing to avoid attraction.



Be always alert, anywhere, when I see someone standing by or near a road looking mentally lost or waiting for a bus that never comes.

So, we welcome alert drivers to Penang Island or be prepared to spare extra money for your trip here.
