DAP rep: Prioritise public transport, not undersea tunnel


GEORGE TOWN: A DAP representative has expressed her reservation on the planned undersea tunnel project in Penang, saying what was more important for now was im­­proving public transportation.

Pulau Tikus assemblyman Yap Soo Huey said the undersea tunnel project was a low priority as it would not be needed until 2030 under the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP).
