Only thinks of makin money. How could the poor afford luxury apartments. Why government not concerned of low income group when making decisions.... How is the government going to solve the shortage for low cost housing.. When you want our vote you try your best to please us... when u have got what u want.... you kick us! What a shame!

I grew up in Penang, lives in KL, but still has strong ties to Penang. Hence this topic is of grave interest to me. The NGO's have started the ball rolling. We need more people to exert pressure if we have any chance of changing this plan. Perhaps an economics and market view may provide us with an additional strategy. For Equine to succeed (meaning making big bucks), it will have to 1st raise a lot of money, from banks, from investors. If the people of Penang make a LOT of noise objecting to this, perhaps even gathering a boycott movement that the people of Penang will not buy, lease or rent anything in PGCC (and other Equine projects), and will boycott any company that set up business in PGCC, investors and bankers may be sufficiently concerned about the viability of the project. If Equine cannot raise the money to fund this project, it will have to come to the table and listen to the public (and its potential customers) I believe in the power of the consumers, but the people need to stand together on this. Of course, I am hoping that our government is not foolish enough to pump public (our) money into funding this project. Or bail out Equine with taxpayer money. On second thought, they just might! So a threat to use the ballot box at the next general election will be an added insurance. Anil, informative writings, and please keep this up.

yes, the members will move out only when the new turf club is ready.

each member was paid rm20,000 as compensation for their future expenses to the future turf club in batu kawan.

to those who are absolutely against the project, they better get used to the idea of pgcc..because it is coming to pg to stay…in what form, however, we don’t know for sure…after all building plans can change.

not all were in favour of moving out and of the project.
but the majority voted in favour of moving out… in this sense it was a democratic decision.

no, the ngos won’t win…there is someone who can stop the project, but he isn’t going to do anything about it…

so we better resign ourselves to accepting the inevitable….

You don't see the 37 towers mentioned in the mainstream media, do you? You don't see the rezoning of the land from "open space" to "mixed development" mentioned either.

Don't you know that m'sian media are never transparent and not really report the truths? You of all people should know better, i guess. where do all your belief lead you to? your belief will be nothing if whatever reports you have been writing this while are based on wrong facts. cheers. hi anil,

The NGOs will be reduced into pulp. He is the most powerful businessman alive now. No argument here. There were others, but he outshines them all-past and present. Why did the Penang Turf Club members agree to move out? If they did not vote in favour to move out in 2002 and for the compensation in the form of future travelling expenses to the new turf club, it would have been a different ball game. Who betrayed them? Five NGOs up in arms.
