Apologies for rudely mistaken the Water Ubah has been moved. Heard that now it has been lighted up during the night.

The popular Ubah bird (DAP mascot) which is actually a hornbill is still swimming at IJM Promenade (in front of Nautilus Bay's houses) until yesterday (July 18) . It has been removed which I believe is temporary. (Updated: July 23)
It is now known as Water Ubah as it can swim (not only fly). It was launched last Saturday (July 13) by Penang CM, Lim Guan Eng.

I guess Penang could not wait for the famous yellow rubber duck visit. So, here is Water Ubah (a gigantic float) for us. It is supposed to be docking at IJM promenade until 31 August before making its way to other states in Malaysia.
