City Park, Penang

The City Park, also colloquially known as the Youth Park, is an urban park within the city of George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang. Located near the Penang Botanic Gardens, the City Park was opened in 1972 as a recreational area and a green lung for the city's residents. True to its name, the City Park contains various recreational amenities, such as playgrounds, a skating rink, swimming pools, a graffiti corner, reflexology paths and an outdoor auditorium, all of which are open to the public. The park is maintained by the Penang Island City Council. History The idea for the establishment of a 'Youth Park' came into being in 1970, in response to concerns over juvenile delinquency and a lack of recreational areas. At the time, the area now known as the City Park was an abandoned 40-acre (16-hectare) granite quarry. A proposal to establish a 'Youth Park' was accepted by Lim Chong Eu, the then Chief Minister of Penang. A committee was subsequently formed to explore the idea and a groundbreaking ceremony was launched late that year. In the aftermath of the 1969 race riots in Kuala Lumpur, it was decided that the park should also embody Penang's multi-cultural heritage in the "community of nature". To that end, volunteers from the various schools and youth clubs within Penang were roped in for the groundbreaking event. The Youth Park, as it was known at the time, was officially declared open in 1972 by the then Governor of Penang, Syed Hassan Barakbah. At its opening, the park was equipped with an obstacle course, a skating rink and an outdoor auditorium. More facilities were added in the years since, with the latest being the Penang Graffiti Park in 2012. The City Park is also home to two of the Penang Island City Council departments - the Community Service Department and the Landscape Department. The GBI-rated council office incorporates a rain harvesting system, an outdoor garden and vertical green walls, as well as transparent glass panels designed to allow maximum natural lighting.

Batu Gajah Railway Depot After YTL Corp had announced their intentions to use KTM's Sentul Works for their Sentul East and Sentul West masterplan, KTM was planning to close the Intercity part of the Works and the Falim Depots as well because their Intercity motive power and rolling stock rarely terminate at the Works for maintenance or scrapping and no Intercity motive power ever stopped at the Falim Depots for damage inspections for years and was used as their Museum Warehouse before the depot's closing. By August 2009, Batu Gajah railway depot replaced Sentul Works for KTM Intercity's motive power maintenance and Falim Depot for Intercity motive power and rolling stock damage inspections.

Kallang Theatre is a 1,744-seat theatre in Kallang, Singapore. Located at 1A Stadium Walk, Singapore 397689 within the Singapore Sports Hub, beside Leisure Park Kallang and Stadium MRT station, Kallang Theatre is managed by Sport Singapore. History Kallang Theatre was opened on 7 April 1978. Owned by Chong Gay Theatres, the theatre was a cinema with 2,400 seats but opened with 2,000 seats with 400 seats to be built later. It was the largest cinema of Southeast Asia at that time. The theatre was five storeys high and cost S$7 million to build. In 1981, the theatre was bought over by the Government of Singapore for S$12.5 million due to the need of a medium size theatre in Singapore. As the acoustics of the National Theatre was deemed to be poor and the venue was subjected to the weather, it was faster to convert the Kallang Theatre for immediate use. The theatre, once converted, was to be managed by the National Theatre Trust. The renovation was expected to cost the government S$9 million. In March 1986, the National Theatre Trust moved to Kallang Theatre despite renovation of the theatre was not completed. Later in June, the renovation of the theatre was completed. Aside from hosting cultural events, Kallang Theatre also became the venue of the annual National Day Rally. From 1986 to 2000, Prime Ministers Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Chok Tong held their rallies at Kallang Theatre. The theatre was closed in 2007. In January 2011, the theatre was opened for tender by the Singapore Land Authority. In June, it was announced that it would be reopened in August. See also Kallang References
Cashin House

The Cashin House, known as The Pier, is a former residence of the Cashin family extending out to sea in Lim Chu Kang, Singapore. The house on the pier was restored and became a new visitor gateway to the western part of Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve known as Lim Chu Kang Nature Park. History The Lim Chu Kang area in Singapore, was once made up of mangroves rain forests and rubber plantations belonged to Namazie and Cashin Estates. A pier was built in 1906 by Henry Cashin, an Irish merchant, for his rubber estate. Henry Cashin's grandson, Joseph Cashin, would build a house on the pier some time from 1920 to 1921, hence the name The Pier. The Pier was also one of the sites where the Imperial Japanese Army first landed on the north-western coastline on 8 February 1942 during the Battle of Singapore of the World War II. Once Kranji and Lim Chu Kang fell during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore, the Japanese went on to erect a war shrine at the site. The house was used by Imperial Japanese Army officers as a comfort stop until 1945. In the 1960s, before the rubber plantation owner and lawyer Howard Edmund Cashin (1920–2009) and his wife Gillian moved into the house, he had the war shrine removed and constructed the road to the house. According to Howard Cashin in the interview, the Japanese war shrine was something that he had difficulty removing after the war as it was not easy to find workmen willing to demolish the shrine during that time, as the stone from the pedestal of the shrine had stood on was used to construct the road to the house that he wanted to add on. The house was extended and redesigned, its interior was redesigned with a modern touch, with ceiling fans, aircon and other facilities powered by electricity. Barbeque pit and stone tables were the later additions on the landed compound near The Pier. Cashin and his family would lived at The Pier occasionally as their weekend resort until his death on 5 September 2009. Redevelopment The house has since vacated and its compound was acquired and fenced up by the Singapore Land Authority. According to URA Draft Master Plan 2013 and URA Master Plan 2014 regarding the Singapore's North Region, the house will be restored and become a visitor gateway to the western part of Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. The 18-ha western extension of Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve was named as the upcoming Lim Chu Kang Nature Park in 2020. Restoration work on the house and the Lim Chu Kang Nature Park were expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2020, and both are slated for completion in early 2022 which was subjected to the coronavirus pandemic. As of August 2023, the redevelopment works had completed. This involved demolishing the previous structure, dredging the mudflats to create a new foundation, and rebuilding a strengthened exo-skeleton as seen in engineering photos taken by the contractor. Most aspects and even some original materials of the original building have been repurposed, but it is in essence, a new, strengthened structure built to mimic the original structure.

Height Tower A, with 35 stories, has a height of 121.4 m (398 ft). On the other hand, with 51 stories and a height of 186 m (610 ft), Tower B of the complex is the tallest skyscraper within Gelugor, as well as one of the tallest in George Town. Usage of units and facilities Both towers contain a total of 480 residential units, with areas ranging from 584 to 5,560 sq ft (54.3 to 516.5 m2). A notable sight are two pod-like structures named "PODs", each 4-stories tall in height. They occupy the sky-garden of the 35th to the 39th floor of Tower B. Meant for recreational and entertainment purposes, it could accommodate up to 60 people at once. The building has a gross-floor-area of 780,384 sq ft (72,500.0 m2), with 3 underground floors. Development Development started in 2013 by Nusmetro (later named as Arte Corp), a Malaysian property and development firm.

The structure later topped-out in 2017, before full completion in May 2018. Reception of design The building has been notable for its unusual look among locals, with "rotating-fin-geometries", creating unique observation angles on each floor. The design was inspired by the geography of Penang Island, with the towers sitting between the island's undulating hills and the Penang Strait nearby. The design was praised as being innovative among critics, in which Nusmetro won the "Best Apartment of the Year" award in the 13th Kinpan Awards for this project.

Bayan Lepas

Bayan Lepas est une ville malaisienne située au sud de l'île de Penang. La ville abrite l'aéroport international de Penang et la Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone (en), qui a parfois fait surnommer l'état du Penang de « Silicon Valley » de l'est à cause de sa petite taille et des entreprises technologiques qui y ont des usines : Bosch, Motorola, Dell, Intel ou Hewlett-Packard, par exemple. Histoire Selon une légende, Bayan Lepas aurait été fondée au dix-huitième siècle par une riche famille de Sumatra dont la perruche aurait fui et trouvé refuge sur ce coin du rivage, Bayan Lepas signifiant « perruche échappée » en malais. Une autre théorie avance qu'elle aurait été fondée par Raja Bayan ou Nakhoda Bayan (id), un marchand et prince minangkabau qui se serait établi sur l'île de Penang au dix-huitième siècle, quand l'île faisait encore partie du Kedah, et qu'il fut adoubé par le sultan de Kedah comme dirigeant de l'île. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avant la campagne de Malaisie, les Britanniques y construisirent un fort pour défendre la base de Butterworth, mais il fut vite abandonné face à l'avancée de l'Armée impériale japonaise. Bayan Lepas vivait essentiellement de ses rizières jusqu'aux années 1970 où fut décidé par Lim Chong Eu (en) la création de la Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone (en). Situation La ville est bordée parles localités de Bayan Baru (en), Sungai Ara (en), Batu Maung (en) Transports L'aéroport international de Penang fut le premier aéroport civil de la Malaisie britannique en 1935, et est aujourd'hui le troisième du pays pour le nombre de passagers, et le second pour le volume de fret. L'industrialisation de Bayan Lepas a mené à la construction de deux ponts reliant l'île à la péninsule Malaise, le pont de Penang (ouvert en 1985, entre Gelugor et Seberang Perai) puis le second pont de Penang ouvert en 2014. Démographie En 2010, le mukim de Bayan Lepas comprenait 122 654 habitants, dont 47 % de Malais et 37 % de Chinois de Malaisie. Agriculture Bayan Lepas accueille le siège du Centre mondial sur le poisson Religion Bayan Lepas abrite le temple aux Serpents, où on peut trouver, entre autres, des vipères des temples.
