Talk:Penang International Airport

Article Unorderly
This article is extremely untidy. Anyone out there with enough time on their hands to redo this ? The english is also rather ... amusing at times .. rather saddening for a former british straits settlement Stkhoo (talk) 13:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Haven't edited before. If someone has time and inclination, Koh Samui should be an international, not domestic, destination of Firefly. 113.210.136.127 (talk) 08:03, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Drug-trafficking arrests
I just reverted an edit that said this airport was "where many Western nationals" had been arrested, "allegedley" for drug trafficking, added by 192.43.227.18. No reference was given. While certainly Western nationals have been arrested for drug trafficking here, I have no reason to think that this airport is unusual in having more arrests than usual, in being prejudiced against nationals of Western countries (as the wording implied but did not explicitly say), or in arresting falsely. However, this IP does have a history of adding inflammatory claims to human-rights-related pages that turn out, upon investigation, to be false. (They also do supply some useful and correct edits, and signs suggest that it is the same person doing both, since they tend to be on the same pages.) Therefore I removed this claim, on the possibly mistaken assumption that this is another example of the same thing. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 18:06, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Notably, this airport is where Barlow and Chambers were arrested in 1983 for drug trafficking; the same IP contributed both some new correct information and some false inflammatory information to that page. I reverted the false information there, too.  With regard to this page, arresting two Australians in 1983 does not equate to arresting "many Western nationals" or even "two Western nationals", unless Australia has crossed the Indian Ocean since I last checked.
