Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, stop complaining. When your boss Lim Guan Eng was finance minister, he stopped giving allocations to Tunku Abdul Rahman College because it is controlled by MCA, an opposition party then. TARC is an education institution for all people, not just for MCA members and their children.
The money is the rakyat’s tax money, not your own party or personal money. The same advice goes to PN, if this RM100 million allocation is worth every penny for the benefit of the rakyat, then give. Why has the government given Kelantan RM50 million when the Kelantan government failed to develop the state?
Postpone the project until we have the money or if you can, get the private sector to do it if it is so profitable. You also have other mega projects like building highways, land reclamation, etc.In the present economic climate, there are better uses for RM100 million than a cable car project which has only recently undergone a rebuild.
Given Singapore’s Covid-19 experience, it looks like they will reduce dependency on foreign workers and Malaysians on long-term employment are the ones who will be the first to be on the receiving end.Why should taxpayers pay for the cable car project? What is the return on investment? This will be an expensive project to not only construct but maintain.
Thus, the cable car project was offered to Langkawi instead. Today, the cable car there is a major tourist attraction. I am sure many who visited Langkawi would have gone up the cable car at least once.You can’t be comparing Bukit Larut with Penang Hill. How many tourists go to Taiping? The better comparison is the Langkawi cable car project which cost only RM50 million in 2003.
