4th May 2010, Penang: Penang marks its own history today with the launch of Speakers' Square at Esplanade here this morning at 8.30am. It was launched by the Penang Chief Minister, YB Lim Guan Eng and attended by some 150 people including Penang State Excos, NGOs members, community leaders as well as the public. This Speakers' Square is the first of its kind in Malaysia. In his speech, YB Lim Guan Eng said everyone should be happy because they now have the platform to voice up and practice their rights under the Article 10 of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia. He reminded that although people are free to talk, they must be responsible for what they say. Those who wish to participate can do so every Wednesday and Sunday from 6pm-10pm.
