PENANG welcomes developments as long as they have no adverse impact on the environment and the society, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
“We also look forward to forging partnerships with responsible developers via a sustainability-led development agenda,” he said at the recent Menara M Summit opening in Magazine Road, George Town.
He added that he was glad that the M Summit Group had diversified into thehospitality industry.
“This helps to cater to the growing accommodation needs of tourists in the city.”
M Summit Group founder and managing director Datuk Albert Moh said Menara M Summit will be expanded to include new facilities in the second quarter of the year.
“The plan is to boost the state’s tourism and address the high demand for accommodation in the city centre.
“There will also be an annexe with service apartment suites scheduled to be completed by the last quarter of 2021.
“The new suites will be connected to the Menara M Summit via a scenic bridge and will have an infinity swimming pool with a glass bottom section, the first in the state,” he said.
During the Shanghai Night themed grand opening at the building’s foyer, guests were treated to displays of performances like lion dance and dragon dance in conjunction with the Chinese New Year.
Afterwards, the VIPs gathered for a traditional yee sang tossing session before going for a building tour.
An array of hawker fare was also laid out for guests to enjoy after the event.
Also present were Penang Island City Council mayor Datuk Yew Tung Seang, Deputy Chief Minister II Dr P. Ramasamy, Pengkalan Kota assemblyman Daniel Gooi, Komtar assemblyman Teh Lai Heng, Sungai Pinang assemblyman Lim Siew Khim, Batu Lanchang assemblyman Ong Ah Teong and Air Itam assemblyman Joseph Ng.
