Chow Kon Yeow

GEORGE TOWN: Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow (pic) has raised several questions about the proposed Kulim International Airport, following reports that the Kedah state government had obtained approval from the Federal Gover­nment to develop the new RM1.6bil airport in the Kuala Muda district.

Chow said there were a lot of concerns on the proposed airport in terms of its impact on Penang, adding that while the proposal to have a second international airport, whether in or out of Penang was “not something new”, it looked “quite serious” this time.
