Making way for PIL 1 highway


Big plans: Under the proposed alignment, almost every piece of property (left) opposite Phor Thay School may have to surrender up to 5m of their land from the roadside to the state government.

GEORGE TOWN: Some 226 homes, shops, temples, shrines and minor structures may have to make way for the proposed highway that will serve motorists from Gurney Drive to the airport with interchanges in Jalan Utama, Paya Terubong, Relau and Bayan Baru.

Most of these property owners do not know their buildings have been earmarked for acquisition for the Pan Island Link (PIL) 1.
