For nearly 30 years, hikers in Penang have been enjoying rusk (dried biscuit), black coffee, Chinese tea and warm water without needing to pay. The free items are available at Moon Gate Station Five, located on a slope near the Penang Botanic Gardens, one of the most popular hiking stations, with more than 200 visitors on weekends and public holidays. Many hikers throng the station daily, including politicians such as former chief minister Lim Guan Eng and his family, Sungai Pinang assemblyman Lim Siew Khim, former state exco member Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan and former DAP chairman Lim Kit Siang, who was a regular at the rest station several years ago.
