GEORGE TOWN: Work on the next phase of the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project has started following approval from the Department of Environment (DoE) early this month. Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow (pic), however, did not elaborate on the works being carried out by project delivery partner SRS Consortium. Chow said those who criticised the PSR were actually not against the project, but were rather concerned about certain aspects of the reclamation. The PSR project near Teluk Kum­bar is a massive plan to reclaim three islands, measuring 1,800ha or the size of 3,600 football fields. The project is expected to generate RM70bil, of which RM46bil will be used to fund the Penang Transport Master Plan.
