Feedback on amendments for George Town's government section

Okay, as promised, here are some comments and thoughts on the governance portion. Overall though, this looks terrific.

• City Council of Penang Island: best to standardise to Penang Island City Council
• minor grammar issue in the first para, suggest to paraphrase it to: The MBPP's jurisdiction includes the entirety of Penang Island, Jerejak Island and several nearby islets, with a land area of 305.77 square kilometres (118.06 sq mi) consisting of 39 sub-districts.
• standardise all terms about the state government to Penang state government
• Four councillor positions are given to non-governmental organisations (NGO): This year the status quo has apparently changed. Only 1 is from technically an NGO (David Chen Wooi Teong from the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce); the other 23 spots have been taken up by the PH-BN combo.
• the city's first appointed Indian mayor: There is an existing article: Malaysians of Indian descent in Penang, suggest to link to that article instead
• A side note: I found some original copies of the Penang Draft Local Plan (Island) 2030 from a Facebook group and while social media sites certainly isn't suitable as citations, I'm not sure if there's any method to incorporate those original copies as citations (sideloading the pdf into some other sites of repute, for example).
• Bukit Kukus bypass road: suggest to link to the Jalan Bukit Kukus Paired Road article
• Chief Minister, Governor and Members of Parliament are title cases
• Padang Kota is the least populated constituency by absolute population; Pengkalan Kota is the densest constituency in the country; Batu Lancang has the highest proportion of Chinese voters in any constituency: Perhaps some distinction can be made from the Padang Kota portion, as the latter 3 constituencies are state, not federal seats. Latest electoral figures indicate Komtar, not Batu Lancang, as having the largest proportion of Chinese voters. Another link to the Penangite Chinese article can also be made here.
• Table of constituencies looks great, definitely more organised than the article's current state.
• suggest to add a link to Light Street in the photo caption, and in the last para here: The court was then relocated to Light Street
• located at Light Street; the latter housed at Balik Pulau: personally I think the preposition at is more appropriate for rather specific areas and streets, instead of in for wider countries and cities.
