WiFi coverage good but not its future side effects

WiFi coverage good but not its future side effects

I AM glad to see bold initiatives by the Penang government such as WiFi coverage.

However, I hope the state government will listen to the people; we are not against new technology but we just do not want to be constantly exposed to possible radiation.

Wireless access is much appreciated at commercial areas where there is need to make decisions at the speed of light. It is also handy for our foreign tourists to keep in touch with the rest of the world.

However, please give us, Penang residents, the freedom to choose when we need to use wireless access. The side effects of new technology may manifest itself only after a long time.

Damage may be irreversible. Precaution is better than cure.

CHENDOL,

George Town.
