Green lights for Penang Tunnel, and other mega projects
The government is anticipated to ink the development agreement for the long-held up controversial Penang tunnel project today morning just before the Budget 2020 tabling, sources said.
The RM6.34 billion project will be signed between the Penang state government and the main contractor, Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd, reported The Star yesterday.
Immediately after the signing, work can commence with the first phase or Package 2, comprising the 5.7-km Ayer Itam-Lebuhraya Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu bypass, within a construction period of 36 months.
The signing ceremony for this development would be held by next week, when further details are expected to be revealed, cited the sources.

wow this time for real liao, lol
Can’t wait to see NGO protest clown show again (no PIL, no undersea tunnel, no PTMP, no everything), lol
Yahooooo
this has been a long battle for state. congrats.
in the meantime, i believe state could hv done more in promoting public transportation; the traffic in penang is getting very bad.
Hopefully there will be airportbus service direct from airport to city nonstop.
Always got stuck in the Batu Ferringhi narrow road day in day out ! Just waiting for the visionary alternative highway ! When? when? when? I too, now can sing like Cliff Richard !
Oh my goodness, really want to jump and celebrate.
but nowadays kinda difficult to feel happy too early. as i am worried that it will face more complications and gets scrapped. ?!?!??!!
But really want to celebrate this but just dont want to rush and get dissappointed later. nowadays so unsure whether can celebrate yet or not.
I think only when real machineries and physical plants get to the site and start the physical work, i can then celebrate for real.

And not forgetting the few rumours created by Star press recently… lol
Penang, Penang ! Will that umpteen years of waiting worth the while ? No Penang Forum, please !
悠悠岁月里，望穿秋水哎。稍见曙光后，又怕阻扰来？
where is the maruah gang ? now people want to take your land already. please show up. soon hong kong people will come grab your land too. maruah clown pls stand up.
I m not against adding more new roads, but as long Pg no control number of cars added to Isl, all this time saving are BS. car growth is always faster than new road.
City of Dreams is completed and the RM200 million tunnel study is nowhere to be seen. Wake up guys. More land is going to be given to Zenith/Ewein. IJM had to complete the LCE Expressway BEFORE they could reclaim land for building. Now it’s the other way around.
