PAS a threat to Penang’s economy and future - superadmin - 04-13-2021 From Joshua Woo Sze Zeng PAS and the Penang Sustainable Natural Heritage Association (Lekas) have again raised empty objections against the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project. This is to be expected as Lekas chairman Zikrullah Ismail is one of PAS’ youth leaders in Penang. It is clear that PAS is going all out to stop sustainable development in Penang, wanting the state to suffer economically. When Kedah’s menteri besar from PAS threatened to cut off water from flowing into Penang, these PAS leaders in Penang kept quiet. When Kedah’s menteri besar from PAS unveiled the RM40 billion sea reclamation megaproject in Langkawi, these same PAS leaders in Penang went silent. But when the Penang state government wanted to proceed with the PSR as part of the state’s efforts to pursue sustainable development, these PAS leaders suddenly became eco-warriors and went all out to criticise the project. - More -
