Preventing the project will deprive those living in the rural south the benefits of development such as jobs and affordable housing.

I'm a resident at Teluk Kumbar, the area where the state government plans to build the LRT and reclaim islands to provide affordable housing and development.

In the past, Penang south was left out from the state's industrial and tourism growth. We are still a rural place while other areas are being developed. Therefore, I welcome the state government's plan to develop this area. The protest by the NGO against our development is very selfish and shortsighted.
