Reclamation projects: Opportunities to generate new economic activities


Persiaran Karpal Singh, a reclaimed development, has become one of the liveliest lifestyle attractions on Penang island due to its strategic seafront location.

DESPITE the bad press and claims by non-governmental organisations that Penangites are generally against reclamation projects, many people and local businesses have benefited from such developments.

Reclamation projects have given locals a place to call home and access to important infrastructure, and businesses new opportunities that generate new economic activities.
