A road no one in Balik Pulau wants

Ongoing work: A general view of the road project linking Kampung Sungai Pinang to Kampung Pulau Betong.

BALIK PULAU: The government’s move to build a RM53mil road linking Kampung Sungai Pinang in the north to Kampung Pulau Betong on the south-western end of the island has got local folks fuming.

Fisherman Wan Mohizan Wan Hussein is one such person. The 52-year-old said the project would threaten Balik Pulau’s image of being “one with nature”.
