CAP urges transport ministry to look into original Penang transport plan FMTNews

CAP president Mohideen Abdul Kader has called for all parties to go back to the drawing board given Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s pledge to scale back the PSI project.

They claim that the current plan is one that is more motorised with highways and tunnels. It also has an increased overall price tag of close to RM50 billion, to be financed through the reclamation and subsequent sale of three artificial islands, known as the Penang South Islands reclamation project.

“However, the federal government has now agreed to provide the funds for the Penang LRT. So why proceed with the reclamation plan?” he said in a statement.
