Why couldn't Wee allow at least four iconic ferries to continue transporting vehicles and passengers?

| Ever since Perikatan Nasional took over in March 2020, Penang has not enjoyed a single benefit but instead seen its development projects previously approved by the Pakatan Harapan government, ruthlessly scrapped one after the other.

The Penang Port Commission revealed that five of the iconic ferries will be given 10-year leases to be converted into a floating museum, two into restaurants and the remaining two for pleasure cruises. An additional sixth ferry was given to the Penang state government. When I was finance minister, I had stipulated the condition that the iconic ferry service should be continued in exchange for granting a RM30 million cash grant to Penang Port Sdn Bhd to run the iconic ferries and catamarans. Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz in Parliament on Dec 17, 2020, confirmed that I had given the condition to PPSB in writing.
