Part of the compound of a beach resort’s restaurant in Batu Ferringhi has been damaged by waves and erosion. Zairil says the beach erosion in Batu Ferringhi is an isolated incident and occurs only at one resort and not the entire stretch of Batu Ferringhi’s beach.
OVER RM13mil has been approved by the Federal Government for Penang to mitigate coastal erosion, said Penang works committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari.
He said three locations were identified to benefit from the allocations through projects to overcome the phenomenon of strong rising tides that lead to coastal erosion.
