When The Star broke the news yesterday about a proposal for a RM3bil 5km bridge to replace the undersea tunnel, many took to social media to express their concern.
“Even the second bridge is void of cars during the pandemic. Why do we need a third link now? Money should be spent on other important things like medical equipment to fight Covid-19,” said Ben.“The funds should instead be earmarked for flood mitigation projects, horrible potholed patchwork roads in the state and keeping the state clean,” she said.
“If you go to Venice, you would not like to miss the gondola ride, or if you go to Srinagar Kashmir, you would not like to miss the boathouse. Likewise, if you go to Penang, never miss the ferry ride,” Ishmael Keturah said. It is understood that the bridge alternative will cost about RM3bil, half the cost of the RM6.3bil undersea tunnel.
“However, it is important that the said project must be studied thoroughly and if there is any negative impact, we must find mitigation solutions,” she added.The locals were concerned about the impact on the livelihood of fishermen as well as coastline erosion.
Beside undersea tunnel and PTMP projects, MACC should also look into other projects awarded by Penang government since 2009 for corruption scandals.
2nd bridge full capacity?
