GEORGE TOWN: Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof has told the Penang government to leave him out in whatever game it is playing over the Penang Undersea Tunnel project . In a media statement issued today, the Works Minister said it was the Penang government who had written to him early last year, asking to approve a bridge to replace the tunnel project. On Monday, Fadillah had questioned the delay in submitting the undersea tunnel feasibility study report to him. He had also said that the chief minister had written to him in April last year, asking for the RM6.3 billion undersea tunnel project to be changed to a third bridge project. He however said they would focus on completing the undersea tunnel project feasibility study only after the Lebuhraya Air Itam - Lebuhraya Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu and North Coastal Paired Road projects start.
