Who is working on the Penang Bridge?

If you are going to the Prai from Penang Island via Penang Bridge, you are probably as pissed as I am. The traffic jam at the entrance to the bridge from Bayan Lepas and from Tesco is murderous and yet no one was seen to be working on the problem. First of all, where are the workers during the day? Who is supervising this job? 

Ok, maybe they work during the night, but if it is not productive enough, change the shift.  It is causing traffic congestions even during weekends, can some one from the state government and the related parties look into this. Seriously, I think you guys are sleeping on your job. Move your heavy butts and solve this problem immediately.

Just imagine, from 4 lanes cramped into 1 lane. How long will be continue and what is the time frame to complete this less than 300 metre job?

Reels of Danger at Penang Bridge

These photos are taken at the middle of the Penang Bridge yesterday.

The cable with reel could be at least 500kgs to 1000kgs in total. Just imagine if one of those reels gets dislodged from the stopper (which is just a piece of wood wedged against the reel) and starts to roll down from the center of the bridge. Once one starts to roll, the others will follow and snowball. I tell you, it will be disastrous and deadly. It will probably destroy everything along its path, including the workers on the bridge and crush some unlucky motorcyclists out of the lives.

Let's not be careless. Act now and find a preventive measure to ensure the safety of the workers on the bridge and the users too. 

"Learn from mistakes", well, this is not a mistake you want to make.
