BUTTERWORTH: While the RM80mil Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP) building in Bukit Mertajam remains a subject of controversy, the council’s former headquarters here has been lying idle for the last two years.
The five-storey building at Jalan Datuk Haji Ahmad Said in the heart of Butterworth has been vacant since the council shifted to its new headquarters in Bandar Perda in early 2006. MPSP had moved out of the 39-year-old building as it could no longer accommodate all its departments under one roof.
