GEORGE TOWN: Penang is hoping that Kedah will be compensated fairly for lost revenue if the latter stops logging activities in Ulu Muda.

Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said Penang will initiate a top-level meeting between Putrajaya and leaders of Kedah and Perlis to find an amicable solution to the logging activities, which have threatened the largest water catchment area in the northern region.
