The Department of Environment has given Penang’s Pan Island Link 1 the all clear, paving the way for work on the project to commence.

The new highway, designed to serve as an alternative route to Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, is expected to cost RM7 billion. It is part of the RM27 billion Penang Transport Masterplan project. He pointed out that the Por Tay Buddhist School, St Nicholas Home, Penang Chinese Girls’ High School, Shree Muniswarar Temple, the iconic Penang Hill Railway, Kek Lok Si Temple and the Air Itam Dam, all of which were more than 50-years-old and had cultural and historical significance, would be adversely affected.

“I want Chow to confirm that the new highway can meet the traffic demand for just five to seven years after completion. Then, he needs to tell us if there was an open tender for the project. Finally, the state has to be transparent about the 56 conditions,“ he said.“, it is nothing more than the Penang Outer Ring Road project that Chow was opposed to in 1998 and was subsequently dropped,“ Lim said.
