GEORGE TOWN, Aug 31 — The Penang state government has submitted a new and updated Environmental Impact Assessment for the Penang South Reclamation project even as the state’s judicial review application to reinstate the approval for the original EIA hits a snag.

He said the High Court Registrar had rejected the state’s application for a judicial review based on a technicality, so the state had filed an appeal to the High Court against the Registrar’s decision. He stressed that the High Court is yet to hear the application for judicial review per se due to it being rejected by the Registrar, so the state still have an avenue to submit it to the Appeals Court for it to be heard.

Pending the legal case against the Appeals Board’s decision, Zairil said the state will push on with a new EIA submission process with a more comprehensive EIA. He said following the public display, DoE will provide their feedback on the EIA and the state will amend it accordingly.The infrastructure and transport committee chairman said the state government is committed to pushing the PSR project forward.
