EXISTING traders at the Raja Tun Uda ferry terminal on Penang island will have priority to get a lot each at Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal where the new fast boat ferry service for pedestrians now operates from.

Penang Port Commission chairman Datuk Tan Teik Cheng gave assurance that while the old ferry terminal is being upgraded, traders there would not be neglected.
