GEORGE TOWN (Jan 26): The Penang government said it is unsure whether the three-highway and undersea tunnel project will proceed as planned, Bernama reported today.
Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng claimed that the Barisan Nasional (BN) had sabotaged it, Bernama reported him as saying.
"We wanted to start work on the project but got sabotaged, so we do not know whether this project will go on or not," Lim at a media conference here today.
Lim added that the state government had followed procedure to secure the environmental impact assessment for the project late last year.
The proposed highways and tunnel project is now being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
So far, four people have been held by the MACC to help in its investigation. They are two “Datuks”, one “Datuk Seri” and a woman engineer.
On Jan 9, the raided four Penang state government agencies and three companies in relation to the project.
Yesterday, the Penang BN Youth handed over a formal letter to the Chinese consulate- general in Penang, to seek help to contact representatives of the China Railway Construction Corp (CRCC) to clarify matters over the project.
