GEORGE TOWN: Work on the long-delayed Penang Sentral project is expected to start in September this year.
Penang Federal Action Council chairman Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman said the development plans for the project have been submitted to the local authorities for approval.
"I am confident the state will be professional in evaluating the plans. The first phase of the RM2 billion project is expected to be completed in 2017. This is a high-impact project which benefits the people," he said at a press conference today.
The integrated transport and logistics hub is to integrate rail, ferry and land transport on a 9.7ha site in Butterworth.
The project was launched in 2007 by then prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi but its implementation was delayed due to funding and land acquisition issues.
The project was originally scheduled to start in 2009 and the entire project to be completed in 2015.
其实这个Project倒底是怎么样了? 怎么好像拖个有完没完啊?
