NO PENANG X GAMES!
We called up the Municipal Penang yesterday to confirm on the event, they told us it was not them who handle it. Spoke with person in charge Mr. Rizal and he told us that someone from some government bodies office booked the venue with Municipal Council. Some skaters informed us it was a NO SHOW. NO FLYERS, NO BANNERS, NOTHING AT ALL. This is really bad coz Visit Penang and many other webs that related to Penang did promote about the event. It would be bad if someone from far away came all the way down from KL or Johor and found out there's nothing there today!!! Someone must responsible for this!!
