Motorists caught in gridlock fume over snag in operation


The discovery of a live electricity cable under the roots of this tree had caused a delay in its relocation in Jalan Masjid Negeri, George Town.

A TREE relocation exercise by the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) along Jalan Masjid Negeri left thousands of unsuspecting motorists stuck in a jam that lasted for several hours.

A crane took up one of the lanes along the Scotland Road-bound stretch, resulting in many schoolgoing children and office workers being caught in the massive jam during the morning rush hour yesterday.
