A giant banner with birthday wishes for Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng was taken down from a shophouse in Jalan Magazine after it was found to have been put up illegally.Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) president Datuk Zainal Rahim Seman said the banner, put up on Tuesday, was removed by council workers at 10am yesterday.
“People seem to be putting up banners and streamers wherever they like and the council is getting tough. We have already taken down more than 12,000 banners and streamers on the island since January,” he told newsmen at the scene.
Lim, who was attending a function at the Caring Complex, said he instructed Zainal to issue a fine to the company – Banner King – for putting up the banner without a permit.“It doesn’t mean that if you put my face up, you can break the law,” said Lim, who turns 48 on Monday.
