I refer to the letter Penang doesn't need a second bridge at all .

Indeed it is true for with another bridge its only going to bring more chaos and damage to the environment and quality of life in Penang Island.

In fact, the industrial zone in the island should by right be re-located to the mainland for easy access to the port and to avoid heavy traffic on the bridge.

Please let us just stop at the widening of the current bridge and apply stringent traffic-control on the bridge and for the whole of the island supported by a high standard of ferry-service management.

I think the good old days of Penang being a holiday and shopping heaven may return. Lack of traffic-police on location (forget about the cameras), to many two-way roads, too many traffic lights and unrestricted access by bicycles, motorcycles and trishaws are also the cause of pollution, accidents, road-rage, congestions and jams.

Now that the Rapid bus service has helped to reduce the island’s public transportation problems, it should be further improved in coverage to discourage use of personal transport.

The Porr project should be completed to replace the second bridge. The CM should actually be relieved that the second bridge is not going to materialise and fear not that DAP will be blamed for losing it for instead it is a blessing in disguise.

Let’s use the allocated budget to build the Porr and upgrade the ferry service to 24 hours. Let’s use the money to build the Penang Sentral which has been long awaited especially by the people on mainland Penang who have been cheated of a decent transportation and supporting- commercial hub for too long.

Let’s officially announce the cancellation of the Second Penang Bridge soon. If the current government of Penang is serious about improving and preserving Penang Island, it must support the cancellation of the Second Bridge project.
