New plan for Batu Kawan, RM10bil mixed project rescinded


According to Eco World president and CEO Datuk Chang Khim Wah, the group continued to see Penang as an interesting market, with Batu Kawan expected to become a development hotspot in the future.

PETALING JAYA: Eco World Development Group Bhd and Penang Development Corp (PDC) have agreed to rescind the letter of award (LoA) that covers a proposed RM10bil mixed project in Batu Kawan.

This is because studies revealed the planned 18-hole golf course in the 449.64-acre site will require more land than what was initially estimated, thus impacting the viability of the project, Eco World said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
