Construction of a seven-storey car park for the Penang International Airport is scheduled to start next month.

Penang Federal Action Council chairman Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Osman said the RM90mil project is expected to complete next year.

“The airport will undergo a RM700mil upgrading works, which will be carried out in several phases.

“Phase One will see RM30mil being spent on ways to optimise the current airport such as long queues at the immigration counter.

“There is also a possibility of building an outlet similar to the Mistui Outlet Park near Kuala Lumpur International Airport,” he said during a press conference at Boustead Tower in Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah yesterday.

Zainal added that the airport expansion is in Phase Four, which is expected to finish in about four years.

“As of now it is still at the conceptual phase and the call for open tender will be done at the end of this year,” he added.

On another note, he said the RM498mil Seberang Jaya Hospital is expected to be completed by next year.

He said the Federal Government will fulfill its promise made in the 2018 Budget for the RM500mil construction of a specialist clinic, building of additional wards with 300 beds at the Penang Hospital and the construction of a new operation theatre at the Balik Pulau Hospital.

“By the end of the year the documents should be ready for open tender,” he said.

Zainal also highlighted that the Federal Government has carried out several initiatives to lessen the people’s burden with its current ‘Jualan Sentuhan Rakyat’ campaign, which is a flash sale of up to 30 basic essentials.

“A total of RM47,300 is subsidised for each programme. To date, eight of ‘Jualan Sentuhan Rakyat’ have been carried out in Penang,” he said, adding that the campaign will continue until June.

The construction of one of the roads in the Penang government’s three paired roads project, which is part of the controversial RM6.3 billion undersea tunnel project, is expected to be delayed.

State Public Works, Utilities and Public Transportation Committee chairman Lim Hock Seng blamed the possible delay due to an ongoing investigation by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC).

He said the Penang government had planned to begin the construction of the road from Tanjung Bungah to Batu Ferringhi by June.

He said it could be delayed further, despite already having received the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approval by the Department of Environment (DOE) late last year.

“We need to conduct land acquisition first (before we begin the construction). According to the plan, it (the project) should begin by June.

“But with the MACC investigation, we are now unsure. It may be delayed,” he said.

The DAP-led Penang government had proposed to build three paired roads on the island, and said this was to alleviate traffic congestion especially during peak hours.

The proposed highway roads included the 10.53km north coastal paired roads from Tanjung Bungah to Teluk Bahang, the 5.7km paired road from Air Itam to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway bypass, and a 4.075km paired road from Gurney Drive to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway bypass.

The paired roads project is one of two components under the proposed RM6.3 billion Penang undersea tunnel project. The other is the 7.2km undersea tunnel linking Gurney Drive on the island and Bagan Ajam on the mainland.

The tunnel project had raised numerous controversies in recent months, especially the high RM305 million price tag for the technical studies as well as a 22-month delay.

The controversial project is now a subject of an MACC investigation. To date, four people, including a Datuk Seri, two Datuks and a female engineering consultant, have been detained in the probe.

Meanwhile Lim also confirmed that the Tanjung Bungah to Teluk Bahang road would run through the 1.62ha forest reserve in Teluk Bahang, as revealed by Penang Gerakan recently.
