THE Penang government should look into converting the existing ferries to hawker centres and restaurants for tourism purposes when a new fleet of ferries is obtained.

Tanjung MCA division chairman Loke Poh Chye said that as the Transport Ministry had earlier announced an allocation of RM30mil for Penang to purchase new ferries, the old ferries should be put to good use in new projects.
