BUKIT MERTAJAM: The Penang South Reclamation (PSR) should only proceed after certain development projects for the poor in the south of the island are rolled out successfully, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. “There must be a well-crafted development plan to uplift the marginalised community in the area before the state embarks on PSR. The Port Dickson MP was asked why he did not make a clear stand on PSR. It is expected to generate RM70bil, of which RM46bil will be used to fund the Penang Transport Master Plan. On the convention, Anwar said he was not perturbed over the absence of several state party leaders noting that there was a 90% attendance.
