Road Signages should not be an issue debated at the Dewan Undangan Negeri. Where in the world does a country adopt more then two languages for its road signs (usually in their respective national language and in english)? This is total provocation on the part of an irresponsible state government. There are planning and city laws on how road signages are erected. It has to do with type of Font, Size of signage, Visibility of signage, Material of signage, Colour codes used, Place of Erection and so forth so that the City Councils Public Liability will be protected at all time. You PKR politicians have no respect for laws is it? And the Gerakan signages are ridiculously big, disrespecting the National language. Why can't you people in power be it PKR, BN or whatever deal with real issues when dealing with urban matters (real issues when dealing with any matters) and not provoke racial ones. Real issues as in better side walks for pedestrians, side walks without poles erected everywhere, roads and alleys with sufficient street lights to prevent crime, cleanliness at hawker centers, better management of drains and rubbish, and put up decent signages where it is needed... STOP this racial provocation on something that has been agreed upon for the last 150 years.

By the way, Melbourne (Australia) and Vancouver (Canada)... both have a high percentage of Chinese population...(they get more foreign tourist than Penang also) but do you see street signages in Chinese characters...NO...because everyone abides by the law of the land and not just simply creates their own. In fact we don't have to go far...Singapore..full of Chinese..full of WORLD tourist....do they have road signages in other languages?
