GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government will consider requesting a RM1bil soft loan from the Federal Government to expedite its implementation of the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP).
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the amount would be used as a bridging loan to carry out both the Bayan Lepas Light Rail Transit (LRT) and the 19.5km Pan-Island Link I (PIL I) from Gurney Drive to the airport simultaneously.
