: The Penang government will wait for recommendations from the undersea tunnel project steering committee before making any decision regarding the implementation of the project, said Chief Minister Chow Kon YeowHe said that the committee would first examine the presentation by the Penang Port Commission regarding the expansion plan of the North Butterworth Container Terminal , which also affects the project.
“....whether to proceed with the tunnel project, or make amendments to the alignment or the design, I believe the steering committee, led by State Infrastructure and Transport Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari, will examine and provide recommendations for the state government’s consideration and decision,” he told a press conference at his office in Komtar today.
Meanwhile, Chow said that the fifth edition of the Penang Hill Festival will be held from July 19 to 21 featuring various interesting programmes including the Penang Hill Songwriting competition, which offers cash rewards of RM3,000 for the winner, RM1,500 for the first runner-up, and RM800 for the second runner-up.
