GEORGE TOWN: It is a race against time and tide to save Batu Ferringhi beach. The shoreline is said to be “disappearing” by a few centimetres every time full and new moon spring tides pound the beach.
The situation is dire and Deputy Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir is scheduled to visit the area to see the problem for himself tomorrow, said Penang infrastructure committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari.
