Green lung going, going, gone!


Demolition danger: Tens of square-cut granite boulders weighing an estimated 10-tonne each are stacked in twos along the crudely built dirt road outside the quarry, mere metres from village houses.



GEORGE TOWN:
Another Penang green lung has turned “bald”, this time in Teluk Bahang.

All the trees have been felled on a 120m-tall hill to make way for an illegal granite quarry at the edge of the Teluk Bahang town.
