No go for Penang reclamation project pending DOE approval, says minister


KUALA LUMPUR: The Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project will not be given the green light pending approval of the environment management plan (EMP) by the Department of Environment (DOE) Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said.

“The project movers cannot start any work on the site pending the approval of the department as the EMP is one of the main conditions out of 72 conditions imposed under the Environment Impact Assessment," he said when answering a question raised by Che Alias Hamid (PAS-Kemaman) in Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (July 23).
