I don't really know what is the fuss of using multiple language as a road sign in Penang. As a matter of fact, I think it is a good move. Even in China there are English road sign albeit in Pinyin.
We all know that Bahasa Malaysia is the official language of Malaysia. But that does not mean that including other languages on road sign is detrimental for the language.
If you want to take away all the other languages from the road signs, you might as well take away the signboards at KLIA. They have multiple languages. How come no one protested?
The move by Penang state is to have more tourist. If tourist cannot make sense of the road sign, how the hell are the going to recommend their friends to come again?
Those people who protested are really shallow minded indeed. You want to protest go to KLIA and all the other international airport in Malaysia. Then you can get rid of all the road signs with Jawi on it. Jawi is not the official language of Malaysia.
Remove them.
