GEORGE TOWN: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has met with fishermen here who are concerned that their livelihoods may be affected by the upcoming Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project.

The PKR president also said that he would arrange a meeting with Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow next to discuss these issues.Anwar said the meeting would allow him to obtain more information about the PSR project and its effect on the livelihood of fishermen.

Anwar added although the PSR's Environmental Impact Assessment from the Department of Environment was approved, the project could still be reviewed. On Friday Anwar raised the issue during a meeting with Dr Mahathir Mohamad and had told the Prime Minister that he would be meeting those who might be impacted by the PSR.

The PSR project involves the development of three man-made islands with a total size of over 1,800ha, with parts of the islands to be put up for sale. The proceeds from the sales would then be used to fund projects under the Penang Transport Master Plan , a RM49bil mega project aimed at solving traffic congestion on the state's island side.Tags / Keywords:

Penang fisherfolk appeal to Anwar over PSR project'Fried kuey teow without cockles' is one of many complaints voiced out to PKR president. This island will happen whether they like it or not. I’m not a supporter of it but there is no way it won’t happen. BN also quiet so they r also supporting it. So better get bigger boats as compensation so they can fish further out. Better than cash.
