Improve public transportation (seriously!!!). I could hardly see any public buses going around town. Even if there are, they always either come very late or never even arrive at all. <br /><br />2.) Beautifying not just places of interests, but the town as a whole, say, by adding more pedestrian walks or remove all rubbish and littering. Yup, Duncan. Some places really look either run down or dirty. Just take a look at places like George Town or even Singapore.<br /><br />3.) Improve quality of English. Overwhelming nationalist sentiments won't bring the town any where near progress.<br /><br />4.) More events and/or activities are needed, whether organized by govt or private sectors. Many of my mates said that Kuantan is a boring, unhappening place! And they would prefer the buzzling and colourful lifestyle of KL.<br /><br />5.) Shopping malls need to renovate themselves too. Megamall & Kuantan Parade looks as if they're in the 90's and will need to polish up their interiors a bit. East Coast Mall is pretty much a good start.<br /><br />6.) Attract more tourists, whether local or foreign. I certainly won't want my beloved hometown to forever live in its own bubble.Yee Jin Chengnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415847947845553634.post-35400773640413926892011-03-01T17:07:02.831+08:002011-03-01T17:07:02.831+08:00Yes it is.
