Penang to boost revenue collection, asset earnings without sudden tax or service fee hikes, says CM GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government is studying the viability of constructing a bridge linking the island and mainland as an alternative to the proposed undersea tunnel project , says state infrastructure committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari .
He said the study was part of the state’s efforts to ensure any mega infrastructure project undertaken would be sustainable, practical and capable of delivering optimum benefits to the people and the state’s economic development. Zairil said the feasibility study report for the proposed Penang Third Link undersea tunnel project had been completed, submitted and presented to the state government before being approved on April 5, 2023.
“The scope of work involved various technical and professional components, including land surveying works, technical and engineering studies, preliminary design, preparation of plans, professional consultancy services and related studies required to comprehensively assess the project’s implementation viability,” he said in his winding-up speech during the state assembly sitting on Thursday . He said the payment entitlement for the study phase amounted to RM20mil through a land exchange mechanism.
“This means no cash payment has been made by the state government thus far, and all related claims remain subject to further review and consideration based on the project’s current status and the direction of the state’s infrastructure development plans,” he added. Zairil said the state government was taking a prudent and practical approach in evaluating the direction of the project by taking into account technical feasibility, financial implications, public mobility needs and long-term benefits for Penang.
He added that coordination with the Penang Port Commission was ongoing to reach a comprehensive decision that considered technical, logistical and marine navigation aspects, as well as the strategic interests of the state’s future development.
