GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Citizen Awareness Chant Group (Chant) has urged Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed to intervene on the proposed Pan-Island Link (PIL) I which it claims could have an environmental impact on the Penang City Park.

Its adviser Yan Lee said trees in the area would have to be chopped to pave the way for a feeder road for the 19.5km PIL I highway from Gurney Drive to the Penang International Airport.
