Vandalism has reared its ugly head again, raising the ire of a representative of the travel trade sector.
Vergis Mathews, chairman of the Penang chapter of the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents, said statues and other fixtures such as road signs should not be made use of to vent expressions of political disagreement. Vergis said the statue is of historical significance and is a state heritage, adding that vandalism must not be condoned.
The statue of Light was originally located at the Penang Museum on Farquhar Street but it was subsequently moved to Fort Cornwallis.
