可惜的是才开始拍不久，就来了一个不速之客
有一位uncle走到我们面前来，一开口的语气就不爽地问我和我朋友
问：你们来自哪里？
回：槟城。
问：你们不要来拍照啦，我们又不是模特儿，这里是来拜拜的

我们都傻掉，这是什么人啊？
观音亭本是旅游胜地之一，不给拍照?
我又不是拍人啦，更不会去拍神像。
搞到什么心情都没了，就仅这张。

明天再去，看他想说什么！
不过这次会带tripod下车了。
以免遇上一些白撞的。

Kapitan Keling Mosque





The Kapitan Keling Mosque was first erected by the troops of the British East India Company who were of Muslim religion, back in the late 1700's. Several years later, the growing Indian Muslim community required a more permanent mosque to be built. In 1801, the community, led by their leader, Cauder Mydin Merican or also referred to as 'Kapitan Keling', was granted with an 18-acre lot. Made of brick, the original mosque was a single-storey structure, but over the years, the mosque has seen plenty of rennovation works.

St George's Church



Saint George Church, is reportedly the oldest Anglican church in Malaysia. Built by convicts, at the corner of Lebuh Farquhar and Jalan Mesjid Kapitan Keling, it has been faithfully holding services since its conception in 1818. The grand Francis Light memorial that rests in front of the church is a reflection of Penang's tribute to Francis Light, who established the island in 1786. Stroll through the grounds and if you are lucky, you might just hear sweet strains of the church choir practising. Services in English are held on Sundays at 8.30am.
