GEORGE TOWN, May 11 — Sahabat Alam Malaysia wants the entire Penang South Reclamation project to be scrapped instead of scaled down to just one man-made island.

She said it will still involve large volumes of sand to be dug out from Penang or Perak waters for the reclamation which will cause more damage. “There is no need for the project at all since the funding for the LRT is already promised by the federal government,” she said. Earlier today, Chow announced the state’s decision to scale down the massive PSR project to only one island from the initial three islands, covering 4,500 acres , planned.
