When big ticket infrastructure projects such as highways, tunnels, bridges and airports are pushed through, the lack of proper business plans and robust cost-benefit analyses is often glaring.
First, grand designs for a tunnel, and now plans for a monorail for the Butterworth-Bagan Ajam-Kepala Batas and the Butterworth-Sungai Dua-Tasek Gelugor routes.
The tunnel and highway projects will have an impact not only along Gurney Drive, but across much of the north, east and south-east of the Island – and the mainland at Bagan Ajam.
Some hoo-ha in the press about whether the state government really consulted NGOs regarding the highway and tunnel projects in Penang.
Reports in the media have suggested that plans for a multi-billion ringgit high-speed rail service from Singapore to KL are being resurrected.
