Chow says PSI won’t affect PH in Penang polls FMTNews
The Penang South Islands project has not affected support for the state government although it has been strongly opposed by other groups such as fishermen and environmentalists, says chief minister Chow Kon Yeow.
At a press conference today, Chow said the mega reclamation project, which was first proposed in 2013, did not hurt PH in the last two general elections. “We won with the biggest majority ever, including the seats around the project site,” he said, referring to the Bayan Lepas and Batu Maung state seats.
“In GE15, if you look at the results, we did not see an erosion of support. We can’t stop any parties, be it the political parties or NGOs, from politicising the issue.The project previously received strong opposition from fishermen, environmentalists and the G25 group of prominent retired civil servants over concerns that it would adversely affect marine life.
