Council taking firm to court after three stop-work notices and a fine


This aerial picture taken in mid-August shows substantial earthworks done with a concrete road snaking downhill to Paya Terubong compared with a photo (inset) taken on Nov 1,2017 showing an earlier stage of clearing works at the hilltop.

A PRIVATE company is facing legal action from Penang Island City Council (MBPP) for conducting earthworks on a piece of land at Bukit Relau Range without approval.

MBPP Engineering Department head A. Rajendran said the company had forwarded the application for planning permission to the council but their application was not yet considered.
