Contrary to criticisms that the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project will only benefit the state on a short-term basis, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow today said that the project was a 50-year transformation plan.

Wrapping up the debates on Budget 2020 at the state legislative assembly in George Town today, Chow said the project was mooted to cope with the growing population of Penang.
