Cleaning Gurney is a GREEN awareness campaign organized by ADUN Pulau Tikus YB Koay Teng Hai service team and co-organized by JCI Bayan. This campaign has been initiated since the year 2008 and this year, 2011 is the fourth year.
Gurney Drive is one of the major tourist attractions in Penang. The local and foreign tourist like Gurney Drive so much because it has everything from shopping malls to local food.
The amount of people visiting Gurney Drive has resulted in rubbish. People are asking, why isn't the local council doing this? Why do we have to do it?
The main objective of Cleaning Gurney campaign is not only to clean up Gurney Drive,but it also to raise public awareness on the importance of keeping our environment clean. Besides, it is also a platform for integration locally as well as internationally.
With the positive growth in number of participants from 140 people in 2008 to 400 in 2009 and to 2800 in 2010 (also known as the Penang Coastal Clean Up campaign), we are targeting 3200 people for this year's event.
So, please spread this alert to your friends and invite them to join us. Together we can achieve a "Cleaner,Greener Penang"!
