GEORGE TOWN, Oct 5 — The Department of Environment today denied the claim that the Penang South Reclamation project faced difficulty in getting its Environmental Impact Assessment report approved.

“The fact is, the EIA report for the PSR had indeed received approval in 2019. Meanwhile, the new EIA report is being assessed by the DOE and other technical agencies. Wan Abdul Latiff said the Appeals Board then set aside the EIA report approval as it was contradictory to Section 34A under the Act with regard to development zoning that had not been approved by the relevant Penang authorities at that time.

Among the agencies involved are PLANMalaysia, the Fisheries, Health, Drainage and Irrigation Department, Mineral and Geoscience, Marine, Public Works, and Town and Country Planning departments, Penang Port Commission, individuals with certain expertise and non-governmental organisations.
