Penang Stakes Claim To Word “Penang”
GEORGE TOWN: The state government has laid exclusive claim to the word “Penang”, saying those wishing to use it should first get its permission.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the move was to avoid confusion among the people who attended or sponsored certain events carrying the Penang prefix thinking that it was organised by the state government.
“I want to make it very clear that the word Penang belongs to the state government, and we have the sole authority to decide whether it can be used,” he told a press conference after presenting prizes to the winners of the Penang Postcard Competition at KDU here yesterday. (More)
