GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government is still waiting to receive official notification on approval of the Environmental Impact Assess ment (EIA) report for the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) scheme.

 

“To date, formal approval has yet to be received. The state government has been working diligently with various parties to obtain the necessary approval in compliance with the process and the approval,” Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said in a statement yesterday.

 

He was responding to an article headlined “Penang gets nod to develop islands” published in The Star yesterday.

 

“Once the official letter of approval reaches us, conditions of the app roval will be made known to the public accordingly, as any responsible government which believes in transparency would do.

 

“When the EIA approval is obtained for the PSR, a detailed design will then be worked on before tenders are called in the first half of 2020,” Chow added.
