Quarry workers defy order

Work goes on: Aerial view of the illegal granite quarry in Teluk Bahang.

GEORGE TOWN: The quarry illegally mining thousands of tonnes of granite in Teluk Bahang is still seemingly operational despite a stop-work order by the Penang Island City Council (MBPP).

A check by The Star on Tuesday saw workers moving about in the quarry and loud knocking sounds could be heard periodically from about 200m away where a school – SJK(C) Eok Hua – is located.
