JERLUN (Bernama): The Kedah government will hold a tripartite meeting with the Penang and Perak state governments to discuss issues arising from the proposed construction of the Kulim International Airport (KXP) in the state, says Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir.
The Kedah Mentri Besar said the meeting would also serve as a platform for Kedah to explain to both states especially Penang that the construction of the airport would not affect Penang's economic growth. “Yes ... we will be organising a meeting between the three states, namely Kedah, Perak and Penang to discuss various matters including the proposed construction of the KXP.
He was asked to comment on Penang government's call for a tripartite meeting to be held between Kedah, Penang and the Transport Ministry to discuss the construction of KXP. Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow had said that KXP would pose competition and would reduce the use of cargo infrastructure facilities at Penang International Airport as well as reducing foreign direct investment to the state.
