I'll send you a PM, in the future, if there are things need further tweaking/corrections. Just checking out, to see whether I'm able to reach you. Happy mapping.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! The best, updated background layer around this region is Esri World Imagery and/or DigitalGlobe layers. Refer http://learnosm.org/en/beginner/id-editor/#configuring-the-background-layer to change it.

IMHO DigitalGlobe Premium might be more useful as you go further down south Peninsular Malaysia. Try checking DigitalGlobe Standard sometimes too.

To map across George Town only, apparently DigitalGlobe Premium is the best one.

I can't speak much about Borneo, but so far, both DigitalGlobe layers could be hit and miss, especially in very remote areas. Cities and some major places could probably be OK.

Hi, please consider using DigitalGlobe Premium imagery. Bing imagery is from 10 years ago. At least DigitalGlobe is more recent.

Hello, welcome to OpenStreetMap. Could you please explain what VR that follows the name of a restaurant means?

If you have anything to ask regarding mapping, just feel free to send me a message through OSM (click on my username and click Send Message). It's way better to communicate over there.

But, as an alternative for (1), please read this diary entry: @Jothirnadh/diary/36793

The same database has names for geographical features, but beware: their position might be off its real position and probably using unconventional spellings.

Well, send me a message if you are interested.

I'm afraid the topographic maps from the Department of Survey and Mapping is definitely copyrighted.

Probably a bit of good news: the coordinates of these peaks were derived indirectly from OpenCycleMap's contour lines (Thunderforest Landscape). I'd be fine with the location of the peaks.

Sadly, at this point, the names (and any other data) would have to be removed, unless (1) a similiar but compatible open data is available, or (2) laborious, time-consuming on-the-ground verification is made base on that list.

I understand that it's totally unpleasant, but at least your edits will not forcibly removed due to a copyright claim.

Hi, thanks for your effort on naming these peaks. I'd like to know whether permission is given to put those here - because, copyright stuff and all that.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please use leisure=playground (leisure=playground) to mark a playground, not leisure=park.

That part I used photos from Mapillary. Please check this: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=5.407426000000001&lng=100.36888199999999&z=17&pKey=MWYXyBn4VmcNfJH9r4wbzw&focus=photo&x=0.48854063277729726&y=0.5292988892117214&zoom=0

I just changed the highway classification.

Google Earth imagery? If I recall correctly, using any kind of data from Google is refrained I'm afraid: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/41362/and-again-using-google-satellite-images-to-align-my-paths
