GEORGE TOWN: The state government has upped the ante by increasing aid given to trishaw riders to RM100 monthly – RM40 more than the RM60 requested by the Penang Trishaw Riders Association.
The aid, which is double the previous “RM100 every two months” offer, however, comes with a condition – they must attend the George Town Car-free Day every Sunday from 7am until 5pm at selected streets here.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said in a statement yesterday that he had directed State Tourism Development and Culture Committee chairman Danny Law to increase the amount given.
The George Town Car-free Day is expected to kick off at selected streets in George Town every Sunday beginning Dec 11. Only bicycles and trishaws will be allowed in these areas.

sure can...thats the subsidy. 100 surely not enuf.
**ter-deleted bila edit tadi..

government can give them (they are really poor) subsidy to support them...and they still need to work of course...if not lenyaplah beca sebagai heritage di penang..

sama seperti kes bantuan cat kpd flat yg run down..patutnya bagi subsidy juga (not full sponsorship) pasal maintenance flat pada asalnya juga tanggungjawab penghuni sendiri, bukannya kerajaan, ataupun pakai duit yg kerajaan kutip drp semua org (termasuk kebykkan mereka yg tak tinggal di flat tersebut)

otherwise, penduduk flat akan hilang sense of responsible dan fully rely on kerajaan, lambat laun menjadi beban perbelanjaan kerajaan dan seterusnya pembangunan drp kerajaan..
