it is a ugly place but it is better to do something than just leaving it there. i think the place has been like that for a decade already.

i think Penang Times Square sounds odd. before that, the project was called Escoy place, named after the tin melting factory.

they should develop the empty space beside it, now used as a car park. then, they can build a pedestrian bridge into it
