I may vote for anti-reclamation candidate, says Penang resident FMTNews
Some residents fear Penang Island’s southern coastline would be irrevocably altered by a massive reclamation project.
The first of three islands would be reclaimed off Permatang Damar Laut, south of Penang airport. The other islands would come up in the waters off Teluk Kumbar and Gertak Sanggul. Asked about opposition from fishermen to the project, Ramasamy said their family members were likely to end up looking for jobs in the project as they would not want to work as fishermen.
“They objected to the project when Dr Mahathir Mohamad proposed it because they said it would reduce their catch. But the fishery sector still thrives at the bridge site. She said spillover development from the project would help make Permatang Damar Laut’s environment “more interesting”.
