"The report is unsubstantiated as the state government has yet to obtain the approvals and given such circumstances, we would wantto do the needful and take the necessary steps to rectify the mentioned report in order to spare the stakeholders of any further confusion," Chow said in the statement. Quoting sources, it said that the PIL 1 expressway project had received approval from the Environment Department last month while BL-LRT project was expected to receive conditional approval from the Transport Ministry next month.
The PTMP's proposed projects for its first phase include the PIL 1 highway, the Bayan Lepas LRT system and several other projects which include construction of several major roads.
