GEORGE TOWN: Two non-governmental organisations have questioned how the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project could have obtained the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approval when several issues raised by them have not been addressed.
In a joint statement, Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) acting president Mohideen Abdul Kadir and Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) president Meenakshi Raman said the Department of Environment (DoE) has not addressed the fundamental issues on the reclamation, and called on the EIA to be made public.“Among the issues are the population projections which are not sound, the serious impact on the marine resources and the incomplete assessment of the sand-mining impact.
