We’re sure you’ve seen this already on social media, but The Sun has reported that the roundabout sign in Penang’s Seri Tanjung Pinang, which has gone viral for its resemblance to a part of the male body, has been taken down by the Penang Island City Council (MBPP).

“The installation was carried out by Tanjong Pinang (developer). We instructed them to modify it, and they have since taken it down,” mayor Datuk A. Rajendran told the English-language daily.

The comments make for hilarious reading, of course – but some point out that the sign is “factually accurate and precise”, and they’re not wrong. After all, removing the sign won’t change the fact that the roundabout is shaped that way. How different can the new sign be made to look?
