Insensitive Billboard at Jelutong Expressway


Excerpt of an e-mail to CIMB HQ

Insensitive Billboard at Jelutong Expressway, Penang

Dear sir:

With regards to the above matter, your billboard at the Jelutong expressway(near the traffic lights junction at the Macallum Street Ghaut Flats) is insensitive to the flat residents there.

We have received numerous complaints especially from the women residents since it was erected this week. The billboard with two dummy persons (kids/teenagers?) leaning over the balcony/wall really frighten these high-rise flats dwellers. There are nearly 20 flats in the vicinity.

It is clearly at excellent billboard, yet the location of this billboard makes it very insensitive.

Pls consider removing the figures from the billboard or take other suitable action.......


I am not a professional photographer, the above photo cannot reflect/portray the feeling of the high-rise flats residents. You have to on the ground to share their feelings.
