Nik Nazmi: Penang South Islands project will only be approved if it meets EIA’s stringent requirements


BATU KAWAN: The Penang South Islands (PSI) project will only be approved if it meets the stringent requirements of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIA), said Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

He said the decision by the Department of Environment (DOE), which rejected the PSI’s EIA report previously proved that the project does not get special treatment although it has the backing of the Penang state government.
