GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government is currently in the process of evaluating and finalising the proposals they received for the proposed cable car project on Penang Hill.
Penang Infrastructure and Transport Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said the state government called for a request for proposal on Jan 13 last year, which ended on Nov 30 last year."We expect to announce an official offer to the successful bidder before the end of this year," he said when responding to questions posed by Lim Guan Eng at the state legislative assembly sitting on Wednesday .
“We welcome any proposed business models and the bidder is allowed to propose any value-added features to the project. In response to Lim's written question about the status of the cable car project, including the cost and if the Federal Government was funding the project, Zairil stressed that the state did not receive any allocation from the federal government for the project.
