UPDATED 3.12PM | The Bayan Lepas LRT should be regarded as a “white elephant project”, says activist Khoo Salma Nasution.

CM: The waterfront is located on 53.05 hectares of the Gurney Drive foreshore reclamation project.


We are looking into the best ways to create income for those affected by the Penang Sea Reclamation project, says CM.



Those who do not want to move on can stand firm on their view, adds CM Chow Kon Yeow.

He says the claim had been spread through the WhatsApp chat app since yesterday.

Spokesperson Khoo Salma says it seems Penang gov't no longer welcomes other views after spawning its own quasi-autonomous and party NGOs.

We must work with state gov't to highlight issues ranging from socio-economy to human rights, says Giat.

Demand for Gojek, offered and mooted by Putrajaya recently, not high enough in the state, says the CM.

CM Chow Kon Yeow insists that the state government will take note of NGO feedback.

Apart from economic growth, the initiatives will also enhance competitiveness and quality of life.

We don't intend to dig the graves or exhume bodies as it will affect families of the deceased - CM.

Since 2013, the developers are still unable to submit a feasibility report, says MCA veep.

Chow explains that this is because Zenith had to make adjustments after the ICE gave its views.

CM says Penang and the developer have yet to sign a construction agreement for work to begin.

CM says the information is made public on the state government's website.

INTERVIEW | Chow says this as the state will host the 2019 World Seafood Congress next month.

INTERVIEW | If Penang gets the funds, he says, it will consider scaling back the south reclamation project.

The chief minister says the state plans to implement recommendations on padi production made in the recent Public Accounts Committee report.

The chief minister says the state government is still looking at various options.

'It isn't always a chief minister is willing to be open and negotiate with others on a state project.'

CM Chow says if the state can acquire federal funding, it may review the scale of the project.
