Penang Forum wants eco-review of PIL 1


GEORGE TOWN: Penang Forum, a loose coalition of about 40 NGOs, is calling for an independent panel to do a scientific review on the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) of the Pan Island Link 1 (PIL 1).

Penang Forum member Dr Lim Mah Hui claimed that the EIA did not fulfil a stipulation of the Environment Quality Act (EQA) 1974 that requires alternative solutions to justify that the project will result in the least environmental impact.
