‘Consortium’s proposed reclamation not touching Middle Bank’


GEORGE TOWN: The Middle Bank off Karpal Singh Drive, said to be an important breeding and foraging ground for marine organisms, will be left untouched for the time being.

Instead, state exco member Chow Kon Yeow said SRS Consortium, the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) for the RM27 billion Penang Transport Master Plan (TMP), had proposed to reclaim some 1,618ha of land in the southern part of the island.
