While driving along the road, I saw banners hanging on the lamp post saying that there will be a forum held this weekend, Saturday, 8th November 2008 on the project Wireless@Penang.

Forum on Wireless@Penang Project

Date: 8th November 2008

Time: 2.00pm - 5.00pm

Venue: KOMTAR Dome

This is organized by the state government and MCDC to discuss on this project because there’s people concern about this project will affect the health of the locals.

Meanwhile, a new group calling itself the Penang Wireless Campaign Group, concerned about the possible health risks of state-wide wi-fi, has set up a blog. I’ll say this is a nonsense as I am opposing this group.

If it does really bring in a big health problem, London-ers, Paris-ian, New Yorkers, Japanese, Taiwanese, Singaporean are dead now now. It’s good to have a good wireless network up in the city because people will be get connected when travelling around. The US has the EVDO wireless broadband network, we only have 3G, they can’t they say that 3G network is threatening? Although there’s indication and research said that Wifi might cause health problem, it’s still under research and no real scientific proof. Those who are opposing are technology newbie and noobs.

I will be attending this forum to see what they will be discussing. I am standing by on this project. Thumbs up for CM Lim Guan Eng.
