Take a look at this and you can see the 250-feet threshold being breached at several points.
Under the Penang Structure Plan, development higher than 250 feet above sea level is prohibited (apart for special projects, which really should be for the public interest).
In Tanjung Bungah, some of the development also appears to be on steep hill-slopes greater than the permissible threshold of 25 degrees.

According to Google Map, almost the entirety of Ratu Mutiara, Chee Seng Garden, Alila Homes, Pepper Estate and Taman Evergreen are at close to or above 250 feet threshold…

Apart from MACC, nobody can catch these die-hard recalcitrants @ Komtar to bring them to court of justice above lawyers’ spinning. You & I don’t have a standby platoon of spinning lawyers, neither an army of drunken trolls & knee-jerking minions. But we don’t have to be a helpless sitting duck. The Plausible Way to counter such arrogance of recalcitrants is to spread / share the news at ground level &… Read more »
