Not sure this plan and idea is going to work or not...better not be a waste of money project by the state government :)
Emulating Hong Kong’s Avenue of Stars walkway, Penang will soon have a “Celebrity Walk,” albeit with a difference.
The Penang version will have commemorative plaques of prominent personalities on the 30-odd trees lining the Esplanade.
State Tourism Development, Culture and Arts Committee chairman Danny Law Heng Kiang said the personalities would have to pay to adopt a tree before their plaque could be erected.
“Although we are targeting prominent people, we will consider allowing anyone who wants to adopt a tree.
“We are still discussing how much to charge but the minimum amount will be RM1,000.
“The details of the plan are still being ironed out. If the response is good, the ‘Celebrity Walk’ concept will be extended to other areas,” he told reporters after inspecting the state’s Chap Goh Meh float yesterday.
The Avenue of Stars walkway along Victoria Harbour, has name plaques on the ground, some with autographs and handprints of popular celebrities from the Hong Kong film industry.
