There goes Jerejak Island. This is what “Queens Island Condo & Villa” on the eco-heritage haven of Pulau Jerejak will look like, according to the Ideal Property website.
Perhaps they think that the Queens Island (rather than Pulau Jerejak Condo and Villa) sounds more “canggih” and would appeal more to high-end buyers .
Apparently, the plan is to connect Jerejak Island by a four-lane bridge to Penang Island which will land in the vicinity of Queensbay Mall.
These plans are afoot despite the National Heritage Department showing interest in a joint Unesco heritage listing of Pulau Jerejak and Sungai Buloh for their historical significance as settlements for people with leprosy.
Land reclamation is presently underway along the coast at Queensbay Mall for another Ideal project to build the RM2.7bn “Queens Residence”. The blocks, ranging from 22 storeys to 30 storeys, will contain 3,600 homes on 36 acres (including 25 acres of reclaimed land).
Ideal Property Development Sdn Bhd has a 20% stake in SRS Consortium. The consortium is supposed to be the “project delivery partner” for the controversial RM46bn “Penang Transport Master Plan”, which involves 4,500 acres of land reclamation. The plan is to create three artificial islands (for mainly high-end housing) off the southern coast of Penang Island, an important source of livelihood for a few thousand fisher folk.

Need to bring back Gerakan to check the present government.
Under gerakan there is pollution with a shipyard. Why no complain with pollution from the heavy industry?
Did Gelakan check the USD25 billion haram turkey in 1mdb…?
Cecil Residensi @Seven Street – affodable home for Penangites.

yet another affordable homes project but funnily NGOs can see none of them….
Look at rafters in the eye
Good location at affordable price.
What more to ask for?
Tung land will look 4 chippest one ton mee
Yet another spin!!!
Like Pete deny his master. Really u must try harder
Still a Degil Arrogant Party (DAP) in Penang.
Anil, this Pulau Jerejak development will go ahead, like the one at Peel Avenue.
Only God / Karma can bring the DAP down to its knees of realisation of what it’s been doing wrong.
Land Contra for Development (via swap deals) is King in Pulo Pinang.
CM Sin Chow, you may have only one term to stay arrogant.
Complain all you can come next election still vote for DAP since Gerakan and MCA (Bossku supporter) cannot offer anything appealing.
People voted for HARAPAN lah, not DAP! RU still dreaming Niao Kong?
Tung land vote bersatu or kedua?
hehe…am not sure about Mr Chow’s arrogance..but you sure is 3 times more arrogant than him…LOL
Spin to instigate ala BossKU!
If priced below RM300K then affordable to locals. Otherwise try luck at 4D jackpot to strike and show the money to Developer Action Party.
OK but no more DaMaCai 4D for me becks I don’t want my money is used to sponsor polis overseas holiday trip.
Hope the plan includes modern public transport , solar power , efficient garbage disposal , rain water retention etc. It must be a modern self sufficient mini city . Not built another urban slum.
Is this in Chow’s vision?
NGOs’ vision is to make the island a B40 haven..hehe
Spin harder or else don’t spin to instigate!
Sin Chow’s vision = Niao Kong’s Vision 2.0 !!!
= tung land’s nightmare
Chow men’s vision = tung land’s torment and nightmare?
Developer Action Party is making tons of money from the sales of reclaimation lands. What about the overhang high-end properties still mingling around? They couldn’t care less. Bring back Gerakan/BN, give them a voice.
yeah, go ahead open your house to the thieves, don’t count me in…hehe
Who is mentioning inviting a comical he-he? Tak malu punya orang!
They couldn’t care less b’cos they ‘think’ foreigners will come to invest regardless of continuing overhang of high-end properties in Penang.
Development for whom? Money lah!
For you lah. Don’t want to stay in heritage down town but support developer and buy condo. Why don’t help to upgrade and beautify Wong fei hoong shop houses.
Gerakan/ dumno sell and give land cheaply. No more land when new gomen take over. Orso no more flat land. Only left hill land under new gomen.
Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow has refuted a claim by heritage groups here that Pulau Jerejak’s name has been changed to “Queens Island.”
He said ‘Queens Island’ is merely the name of a development being built on Pulau Jerejak.

NGOs spreading false news again?
You already possessed the skill to spin, why instigate?
‘Queens Island’ a more fanciful name instead of Jerejak in order to target foreign buyers? Similar to ‘Forest City’ marketing strategy?
Obviously, that place in the south east of the island is having OVER developments !
Got low cost housing in Jerejak or not?
With our (infamous?) central govt’s “No money, no money !” tag, we can’t blame Penang state opting for “privatizations”.
Don’t hope anymore ! Take your own initiatives, go more roadshows in China !
So repugnant of a richie neighbour taking advantage of cheap commodity in the 21st century:
With rising living costs, PM slams ‘ridiculous’ price of water to S’pore
https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/464395
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today that while living costs continue to rise, at least one thing has remained at a “ridiculously low” price.
Speaking at the launch of the National Community Policy in Puchong, Mahathir drew parallels between the prices of affordable homes in Malaysia to raw water being sold to Singapore at three sen per 1,000 gallons…
It is all in the agreement.
Malaysian leaders who agreed to this lopsided deal are to blamed. Perhaps they go some personal goodies in the deal?
The agreement was signed between johor state and sink apore nation. Sing leaders often come to johor for durian parties. Although agreement is there, how many thousand of gallons needed to sell need to buy one ton mee or how many cups of kopi o or vodka.
It’s beautiful. Fantastic.
Fishermen could fish on the other side of island. The side near to Queensbay May can be fish sanctuary.
Got study science? Reclamation projects will totally contaminate and destroy the sea habitat.
Go and study science too. No need reclamation. Under gerakan rivers and streams are kopi and masala teh. You live to eat fishes caught in the sea near those areas or swim there?
No reclamation? Go underground or undrersea?
RU hallucinating?
U not hallucinating, you all kind of kopi and teh? You and your lim kopi kau kau
Pls try hallucinating harder!!!
Try your vodka okay to see like what you experience hallucination.
i am surprise that green fighters concern about livelihood of fisherman, are they supporting killing of marine life ?
Fishermen intentionally killing marine life? You must be he-he hallucinating for CM Sin Chow! Pls try harder to spin your trademark nonsense!
Your lim kopi, teh and the charm kau kau like rivers and streams are toxic to marine life which is worse than reclamation
you mean fishermen catch the fish accidentally? your school did not teach you indiscriminate fishing cause depletion of marine life ?
intention of fishermen very simple..that is to make money..but maybe that is too difficult for numskull to understand…hehe
Try to talk like a kiam hu but fail to understand what a local fisherman (not a trawler) does! Pls try spinning harder till the Koay Kow comes home!
talk like very concern about environment, yet everyday seafood and want fishermen to fish more…go look into your mirror or a pool of ….. if you don’t have one ..
Eh, spin accusation doesn’t work. Unlearn from BossKu!
Everyday seafood? Pls lah, try spin harder like Shriek if there’s nothing constructive in your he-he brain to share! He-he-he-he-he!
You spin again. Kiam hur is not fish from sea and hence sea food?
Kiam Hur not sea fish = sea food? You having vodka everyday and getting hallucination
You talk kiam siap.
Peng land kias polluting the Sea, beaches with kopi o kau kau and teh tarik water from the river and stream
Pls try harder, otherwise shriek in a container!
Yes has to be harder. Look kopi o and teh tarik rivers, streams and big longkang water following into the sea. Dare not to confront peng kias.
Spin & shriek, the best you can do all day, everyday? God pls help you!
Better than your kau beh Kau bu and drinking vodka every day. Relax and enjoy shriek movie show
No over fishing? Peng land a fishing ground?
nice ! high time that small part Jerejak be developed (don’t be misled by sinister NGOs as if the whole island will be developed, there is plenty of jungle left still for one to get lost in there..hehe) for sake of tourism to bring in more tourist, more money….can i trade in some leaves for foods..of course not !!
You don’t know what you are saying. What makes you think building a small island will bring in tourism? It will be nothing compared to Phuket or Sentosa Island. Rich tourists don’t visit Penang.
U orso blow water. Sentosa only in gambling and genting as usual promote gambling and theme park for children to play small but they play big.
Rich tourist do not visit Penang?
Because the promotion targets only back packers on shoe string travel budget eating hawker food staying in cheap hostel.
Tourism Board must target high rollers.
Tung land kau beh Kau bu over construction. Only left behind are Wong fei hoong inns. Backpackers and flower people stay.
hehe…don’t think that you know some drawing on the wall can attract tourist from all over the world….
At least with some old walls (not torn down by Niao Kong) there will always be some wall murals. Try that on slippery clean Prangin Mall, will it attract? Hmmmmmmm, he-he-he-he!
Cannot blame itchy hands like Wei’s who cannot leave alone nice natural islands but obsessed with ‘developing’ them till there’s no more natural islands to touch with icy he-he minds.
Also itchy mind to spin all day long!
You spinning here but tip toe like pink panter leaving heritage down town and happily helping developer and buy condos from them
typical NGOs gangs, cakap tak serupa bikin….hehe
Tung land has abandoned his beloved belum Valley and malau mates. Now he talk about islands. No man is an island. As long as there is man, xxx.
