GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government has admitted to an oversight in the slope design of the Pan Island Link 1 (PIL 1) which contains up to 29 berms to fortify and protect the slopes.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow (pic) said the person submitting the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report might have “overlooked” the matter as the Public Works Department (JKR) had stipulated that the design for cut slopes should not exceed six berms.
