“The state has decided to start work on package two because it was among the other projects that had obtained the necessary approvals first,” he said in reply to a question on the PTMP by Jason Ong Khan Lee . “The state government will ensure to obtain all relevant approvals before starting work on any of the projects,” he said.
“We do not want it to become like the undersea tunnel in which the state has already transferred the land to the contractor, the land is already developed, and yet the feasibility study has yet to be completed,” he said. He said the state views the PIL1 and BLLRT as important projects that had to start first, if not concurrently with the reclamation project, at least immediately after the islands were reclaimed.
