AN assemblyman has called for a freeze in the approval of high-rise projects in Gurney Drive, Penang.

Pulau Tikus assemblyman Yap Soo Huey said the state government and the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) should withhold approval for high-rise projects there and come up with a masterplan for the entire Gurney Drive area to address existing needs and problems.
