Over 12,000 trees planted in Batu Kawan

PDC is always committed to ensure balanced development in the state, says Chow.

PENANG Development Corporation (PDC) has planted 12,564 shade trees at Bandar Cassia and Penang Science Park in Batu Kawan on the Penang mainland since 2006 as part of its commitment to make the area an eco-city.

Chief Minister and PDC chairman Chow Kon Yeow said the state-owned development agency had also spent between RM1mil and RM2.5mil annually during this period to carry out landscaping works to enhance the green environment in the areas alienated to it.
