KUALA LUMPUR (April 8): Approval for the light rail transit (LRT) and Pan Island Link 1 (PIL 1) projects are yet to be obtained, said Penang chief minister Chow Kon Yeow.
The Malay Mail reports that the minister was responding to a previous report from The Star, which cited sources who said that construction on both projects would begin June 2020.
“The report is unsubstantiated as the Penang State Government has yet to obtain the approvals.
“Given such circumstances, we would want The Star to do the needful and take the necessary steps to rectify the mentioned report in order to spare the stakeholders of any further confusion,” he was quoted as saying by the news portal.
The state government is in the process of obtaining the necessary approvals for its dealings with the federal government for the LRt and PIL 1 projects.
“We are confident of obtaining the sanctions in due course,” he said.
Both projects part of the RM46 billion Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP).
