I just wanted to let Penang look more interesting than it already does, says design student Chng Senn.
PETALING JAYA: Penang has expressed interest in a Hollywood-style sign for the state after a picture by an amateur photographer went viral last week, attracting both praise and criticism from internet users.
As of press time, it had amassed over 1,600 likes on Facebook, a far cry from the 300 to 500 likes he normally gets on Instagram. It was then that he came across the Hollywood sign overlooking the district from the Hollywood Hills area in Los Angeles, California.“I just wanted to let Penang look more interesting than it already does.”Senn’s picture has sparked a mixed response from internet users, some of whom say such a signboard might affect the natural environment around it.
“But if… some of the trees have to be cut down to put these up, and people go there and want to take photos with those signboards after they have been put up rubbish behind, then I won’t agree to the idea.”
