We're Indonesians, we love Penang. Always want to come back to Penang. Watching the reclamation progress from the beginning. We are going this mid August. Can't wait to walk by the Gurney bay.
Thank you Timothy, I am coming back Penang during the CNY. Your video is a good reference for me. May I ask how is the parking situation for Gurney Bay? Do you think it will have ample parking lots?
If you wish to come here and enjoy ample parking, come in the early morning and enjoy the sunrise. Don't come in the afternoon or evening, as it would be congested and almost impossible to gey parking space. Early morning parking places are plentiful.
Hi, nice video. I hope the next night's walk at the bay you can use a gimbal to stabilize videos, it won't give walking movement that is pleasing to the eyes. Thank you.
In no time, Gurney bay will be very popular. Once the trees and grassland bloom and lightnings install , Gurney Bay will be the favourite spot for penangites and visitors and sport lovers.
I think better you highlight more important projects like the current LRT project progress, which something more important for public to ease the traffic congestion.
Thanks so much for viewing! I would love to highlight things as they appear. Once they start constructing the LRT, I would look forward to documenting it.
the design of Gurney bay was a real letdown. To think that the Penang government was hyping it up so much and saying it will be the pride of Penang is just disappointing
Best not to compare TRX, KLCC and the rest. Best that every green space have it's own value to create uniqueness. Give those greens time to mature. Make sure we don't throw rubbish around. Play our part.
All Malaysian towns must emulate.... MB Penang mulut tak pandai blah blah , tetapi pandai kerja, tak pandai rasuah ❤ 👍..... kita rakyat Malaysia needs more such politicians.......
Kalau naik bus, terpaksalah berjalan sedikit. Hentian bas terdekat di Jalan Kelawei (lihatnya di Google Street View: maps.app.goo.gl/97DP5CZ1igJeeBvS9)
I believe the majority of the RM200+ million expenditure was allocated to land reclamation. This process incurs substantial costs due to the intricate engineering and environmental factors entailed, including the construction of sea walls, dredging activities, and ensuring stability against erosion and the threat of rising sea levels.
Tbh,dissapointed with the development of the park.Spend quarter billions of ringgit yet they got unimpressive park. Even the concrete walls and pavement look so old and dirty like its already there years ago. Compare to the park in Singapore and Vhina where the walls look like white color...looks very new. Certainly can't compare at all with TRX roof top park and klcc too Thats is certainly world class park.Even the park in Putrajaya and cyberjaya is far more better than this. Penang government seems no diff then the rest of malaysian states despite claiming to be clean...Certainly some hangky pangky going on here...
Local Authority should take decisive action against all illegal business activities especially e- bike rental business, in the park.Otherwise this park will become like Padang Kota and wasting tax payers money
I did think about that, but on the other hand, I also thought, if they didn't want people to step on the grass, they would not have put the sundeck in the middle of the grass. If it's there, it means you are free to walk there. I believe, in future, the expectation is people can also picnic on the grass. They should however put up lots of garbage bins, for I don't trust locals not to litter.
News briefing delivered using three different and totally distinct languages. I wish Malaysians would stick to one language when speaking especially official announcements. I think at some point a decree is needed telling Government officials to use only one language preferably English so that non-Malaysian folks like me have a chance of understanding the entirety of official speeches and announcements.
So barren. Should learn landscaping from TRX- even though its new- it is very lush and cooling. Even though its brand new- you can already seen some of the elements already looking tired and not going to age well. Can't believe it costed nearly 300 million.... But hey, Penang state government can do no wrong as usual....
More nature costs effective recreational land and facilities all over the country..... ❤❤❤❤ 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 and do not forget clean public toilets too.
Looks boring. Cement pavement are just too plain and hot with hardly any shades provided eg pergolas with creepers to provide relief from the sun. Could do with better designed pavements with tiles to create patterns to add character and aesthetics, more benches, perhaps incorporate elements of wood like boardwalks to break the monotony and absorb heat etc. Should add low shrubs along sidewalks, planter boxes etc to enhance landscaping. The toilet signs looks like its been printed at the office printer. Huge disappointment for the amount of money spent.
Problem is if no one supports the place then the developers will make a good case to build rather than leave it derelict. They are not going to invest as they know development will take place. I feel sorry for those who’s properties and condos worth millions currently where they are will Eventually lose their values once they build on the other side. Sad
What a wastage of taxpayers money, it looks dull and primitive 😑 Kuala Lumpur is better in creation of park like Titiwangsa, Taman Desa, Taman Pudu Ulu, Perdana Botanical etc. the one DBKL managed park that all of you bitching around.
Time to "force" like-minded supporters of penang-culture to pa.tronise and pat.tron.nice to book short trip to hide-new-year from 9th to 10th to 11th... Luckily, i am not a supporter.
As Penang Island is named after the beetle nut, they should plant more pinang tree to give it's name some significance.
Thanks so much for viewing my video!
Thanks for uploading the video. This spot will be number 1 for my next visit to Penang!
Thanks so much for viewing! I hope the video give you a good idea of the place.
23:10 kawasan luas untuk memperingati Pulau Pinang saya cadangkan tanam pokok pinang, anak2 muda sekarang tidak tahu macamana rupa pokok pinang.
Terima kasih atas menonton. Harap-harap video ini memberi gambaran sebenar apa yang saya nampak.
Such a cool place to hangout
Thank you. Very informative we are visiting Penang this week and have been following this project and the new island project.
Good job Penang, Keep Striving Forward!!
Thank you so much for the detail explanations, Good work and keep it up!
Thanks so much for viewing!

Fabulous!
Wah nice, must bring my kids there soon
Great job ! Chow Kong Chou !. ❤❤❤. Thanks for sharing, Tim ! And you will share the same again in a year from now.
I hope so!
That place needs more litter bins, I think I saw one towards the end of the video. Also more shelters needed. Pity they didn’t consider a mini golf.
Illegal hawkers will be setting up with waste food and plastic wrappers!!
Thanks so much for viewing!
YB, buat carpark away sikit dari lokasi and sediakan shuttle bus... jangan undang lagi byk vehicle masuk kawasan tu... tak akan selesaikan masalah.

Jogging , exercise , walking etc. Basketball court to be built . Skating rink too.
Thanks so much for viewing! I hope my video gives you a good idea of the place, exactly as I saw it.
Hi, nice video. I hope the next night's walk at the bay you can use a gimbal to stabilize videos, it won't give walking movement that is pleasing to the eyes. Thank you.
I did take a night walk there, but it is quiet and dark and boring, so I decided not to put it up!
Thanks for the tour Timothy. However, I think I shall stick with George Town!
Thank you!
would be nice to have kids pool like KLCC have one but water is insufficient in Penang.
Thats happened when you vote an incompetent government who can't even provide basic waters.
Thanks so much for viewing!

Kalau Naik Bus dari Komtar Penang,nanti Turun nya dimana ya ? Sebelum atau setelah Gurney Plaza ?
*Sallam dari Indonesia
Kalau naik bus, terpaksalah berjalan sedikit. Hentian bas terdekat di Jalan Kelawei (lihatnya di Google Street View: maps.app.goo.gl/97DP5CZ1igJeeBvS9)
They should replace the current contractors and get those TRX contractors.
The current park look typical 3rd world and early 90s park design.
Exactly and it cost RM200+ millions. Worth it ?
Concrete paving looks terrible workmanship!! Cracks and mouldy already and it will get worse with the climate!!
Somebody is laughing all the way to the bank. What shame Penang ended up with such shoddy facility
Thanks so much for viewing!

The government should build a water park for kids and a food court it will bring more attraction there
Should put some modern art there for attractions. 😎

Don’t forget most Federal projects are funded by other taxes of the other states!!! Penang being a major contributor!!!
Thanks so much for viewing!
No many shade places..hot place to be ...
I agree, sir. I hope one day the trees will grow tall to provide shade.
Local Authority should take decisive action against all illegal business activities especially e- bike rental business, in the park.Otherwise this park will become like Padang Kota and wasting tax payers money
❤❤❤❤❤❤ 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Every projects DAP government venture will always turn out ❤❤❤ 👍 👍 👍 👍.
Thanks but you shld not step on the grass

Thanks so much for viewing my video!
only one toilet for such a large area....
That is also the same issue that I have!
still using cement pavement,looks so cheap and outdated,overall is still the same plain park.please be more creative and hv good taste.

panas
Yes, memang panas. Terima kasih kerana menonton.
ALL THIS 200 MIL PLUS .COME ON CAN DOO BETTER
Not impressive at all.... Just an empty reclaimed land with lousy recreational facilities ..RM240M is too must and waste of tax payer money.
I suspect a new development of high rise once the reclaimed land has settled perhaps in 10 years time hence unimpressive.
Please don't ever use or go there
Heard that the recreational play equipment already kaput!!! 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ Now waiting for Tar Pau plastic bags being littered everywhere!!!😂😂
You should go stay in the suburb and spare us your grouse

Jangan bawak dog jalan jalan ah .ingat ah
They can poo and celebrate?? 😂😂

That is one ugly public toilet and for RM248 mil? Someone got rich from this project

Nothing special. Nothing compared to the TRX KL Sky Garden Rooftop City Park and KLCC
Thanks so much for viewing!
A lot of wasted money
