FEBRUARY 18 — I believe the story in on February 15, 2020 and the letter from Kua Kia Soong have been misinformed regarding the Penang Transport Master Plan and Penang South Islands projects.
Penang Forum has evolved over the years from a constructive NGO to an Opposition-affiliated — if not infiltrated — entity. This is most obvious from their protests against almost all of the state-initiated projects in Penang. The PTMP and PSI have become these NGOs’ main complaints against the Penang government, so much so that they organised a forum with a string of speakers attacking these initiatives. But, what is wrong with PTMP and PSI?
Furthermore, the PTMP’s LRT and PSI have been vouched for respectively by Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor and professor of transportation engineering, Ahmad Farhan Mohd Sadullah and eminent economist such as the chairman of Khazanah Research Institute, Dr Nungsari A. Radhi. In fact, the increase of the estimated cost for PTMP from RM27 billion to RM46 billion came from those stakeholder engagement sessions that requested transport infrastructures such as LRT, monorail, and longer BRT to be built on the mainland.
