Komtar in Chaos

Yesterday (Friday), my ICX teammates and I went to Penang for a marketing trip to promote our Global Talents Program to companies in Penang island.. 

We reached Penang in the morning and quickly went to appointments after we had our breakfast.. As at noon, we went to Penang Road Famous Teochew Cendol in the Komtar Walk to have our lunch there.. we were disappointed with the services provided by the workers and were surprised with the quantity of "Char Koay Kak" we get but the famous cendol was still the best and it can be very competitive with the Taiping's famous cendol.. The laksa on the another hand also taste very delicious.. 


After we had our lunch, we went to online at Georgetown White Coffee besides waiting for the appointment time.. As we moved out the cafe, we were shocked to see a group of people were demonstrating outside the Komtar office.. There was a lot of "red ants" policemen were guiding the area from becoming chaos.. 





But the situation became worse as the demonstrators walk around the Komtar and burn the Penang's Chief Minister photo.. All shops and government agencies around the area were forced to close their premise for awhile to avoid any mishap..
