THE Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (Rehda) Penang members, led by its chairman Datuk Jerry Chan, were in Komtar for a Transport Master Plan (TMP) briefing on Feb 26.

Chan congratulated the state government for coming up with a workable plan.
“It is a good plan. There is procedure and there is principle. The TMP will take Penang forward to accommodate its population and economic growth, improve living and alleviate congestion,” he said.

“In fact, this should have been done 20 years ago. Now, there is a plan to work out how to pay for these works. Therefore, we see something more concrete and a tangible means to pay for the project,” Chan added.

The session was conducted by the Project Delivery Partner, SRS Consortium, and was chaired by exco member for Local Government, Traffic Management & Flood Mitigation Chow Kon Yeow and other exco members Jagdeep Singh and Lim Hock Seng.

Rehda members also had the opportunity to have a first-hand view of several slides which showed the proposed LRT lines and stations on Penang island and the mainland.document.currentScript.parentNode.insertBefore(s, document.currentScript);
