CM: No more land reclamation in Gurney Drive

GEORGE TOWN: The state government will not allow any new land reclamation along Gurney Drive as part of its deal with developers to construct infrastructure projects.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said any land swap would only involve the existing land reclamation rights granted to Eastern & Oriental Bhd by the previous administration.
He said people should not “jump up and down” as the state was bound by the deal struck before Pakatan came into power.
“I told the reporters in Kuala Lumpur that 299ha of reclaimed land in Sri Tanjung Pinang would be involved in the infrastructure projects.
“Some of them have never been to Penang and they didn’t know where that was so I said it’s near Gurney Drive.
“Now I’m a victim of false information because they reported that the reclaimed land would involve Gurney Drive — I never said that,” he told a press conference yesterday.
He said no monetary payment or funding would be given by the state for the construction of three by-pass highways and a sea tunnel linking the island to the mainland.
“Costs incurred may be recovered through land swap, toll or any other form. The other three projects would involve land swapping. I’m trying to get as much as possible for Penang,” he said.
