WWII-era trolley rails found near Penang's Fort Cornwallis
GEORGE TOWN: A pair of goods trolley rails, believed to date back to the World War II era, were unearthed near Fort Cornwallis during road upgrade works. The discovery adds a new layer to Penang's rich historical landscape. Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow confirmed the find, describing it as a major archaeological milestone. The rails, measuring over 7.4 metres in length, were found intact with their original sleepers along Jalan Tun Syed Sheh Barakbah. Markings on the rails suggest they were manufactured in 1895, though their exact installation date remains unclear. Similar rail segments were previously discovered within Fort Cornwallis in 2017 and 2018, hinting at a railway network that once encircled the fort. Historical records indicate these rails were likely part of a light transport system built by the British and later used by Japanese forces during WWII. Aerial photographs from 1945 show the railway line extending around Fort Cornwallis, possibly linked to the Penang Hill Railway system of the 1930s. Authorities, including the National Heritage Department and George Town Conservation and Development Corporation, are assessing conservation options. One proposal involves preserving the rails in their original location as an open-air exhibit with informational displays. Chow noted that similar wartime rail remnants overseas have been successfully showcased under protective glass covers. The state government aims to enhance the heritage value of the North Seafront area by integrating this discovery into Penang's tourism offerings. - Bernama

AirAsia X eyes Central Asia in expansion plan
SEPANG: Medium-haul low-cost airline AirAsia X Bhd plans to make the Central Asian region the main focus of its flight network expansion, supported by the high potential market demand. Chief executive officer Benyamin Ismail said that so far the company has started flights to Almaty, Kazakhstan, since March last year, and Tashkent, Uzbekistan, starting this October. 'The Central Asian market is still underserved. 'For example, Almaty, if there was no AirAsia X, it would take 18 hours to get there. But with AirAsia X, it will only take eight hours. 'I think the focus is on this region, we have started from Almaty and we have another route that we are developing. 'We are looking at Turkiye, Azerbaijan and other Central Asia countries and hopefully, this will be a platform for us to Europe,' he told the media after the launch of the airline's new route to Tashkent yesterday. According to Benyamin, Central Asia not only offers the attraction of lower tourism costs, but also has interesting historical and Islamic cultural values for the Malaysian market. He said the launch of the Kuala Lumpur-Tashkent route was a strategic milestone in AirAsia X's efforts to expand across Asia and beyond. 'We have seen a significant increase in tourism demand to Central Asia following the impressive performance of the Almaty route,' he added. — Bernama
