Multilingual signboards in Penang vandalised
By ANN TAN

GEORGE TOWN: Two signboards with directions in Bahasa Malaysia and Arabic were defaced with red paint, barely 48 hours after they were put up at Lebuh Acheh on Friday.

Red paint.. hmmm.. where have I heard of that???
I thought only Ahlong deface properties with red paint as a threat for unpaid loans.

Looks like Penang government is also not immune to the global financial crisis.

I'm also curious. Why only on the Arabic words???
Why not the whole signboard????
Come on...
The economy is so bad that Ahlong had to save on paints too?????????
