^^ Great place!! Where is Bertam Perdana situated? North seberang prai or wat?

copy from www.bertam.com.my

Accessibility to the development area is via the dedicated Bertam Interchange [ exit 166 ] on the South-North PLUS Highway. This highway strecthing from Johor Bahru in the south to Bukit Kayu Hitam in the North has now become the main traveling route in the nation. It takes less than ten hours to cover the entire stretch from Johor Bahru to Bukit Kayu Hitam.



The Bertam interchange is about 15 minutes to Penang Bridge, about half hour to Penang International Airport and twenty minutes from Penang Port. In the future, the second link to Penang will shorten to travel to Penang. Several established industrial sites such as Seberang Perai Free Trade Zone, Sungai Petani and the Kulim High Tech Park are all well one hours travel distance. Notably also is the site accessibility to the Butterworth North Port and North-South Railway line which give added advantage for industrialization, commercial and warehousing

RM100mil integrated complex to be built

BUTTERWORTH: The Sultan Abdul Halim ferry terminal here will finally shed its Third World image when a RM100mil integrated com-plex is built at the site.

Second Finance Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop said the project would start at end of this year and would be modelled after KL Sentral.

He said the bus terminal would be built at the site of the old one destroyed in a fire six years ago. It is expected to be completed in 2010.

He said the multi-storey bus terminal complex would house a hotel, office lots, a shopping centre and apartments.

“A temporary bus terminal would be constructed next to the present terminal next month,'' he said during a visit to Pasar Aneka in Taman Selat here yesterday.

“The temporary terminal will be ready end of this year and operations will be shifted there to enable construction of the permanent bus terminal.

On Pasar Aneka, Nor Mohamed said it would be renovated.

Nor Mohamed said the Implementation Co-ordination Unit (ICU) of the Prime Minister’s Department would channel RM1mil allocation to the Seberang Prai Municipal Council to carry out renovation works which would start next month.

New mall opens in Seberang Jaya

Interesting feature: (From left) Sunway Carnival general manager Lung Hien
Chou pointing out some shoplots to Sunway City Berhad managing director
Ngeow Voon Yean and Chan.

THE new RM156mil Sunway Carnival Mall which has become the latest landmark and attraction in the Seberang Jaya satellite township in Butterworth was opened to the public yesterday.

Sunway Carnival Mall Sdn Bhd’s senior general manager H.C. Chan said the mall which had a built up area of 800,000 sq feet housed the Parkson Grand departmental store as its anchor tenant.

He said there were also the eight-screen Golden Screen Cinemas and a 70,000 sq feet Giant supermarket in the mall.

“With about 160 specialty shops, entertainment and dining outlets, visitors will find it convenient shopping at this mall.

“It has a 1,200-capacity convention and exhibition centre, the biggest in the northern region,” he said at the soft opening of the mall.

Chan said the four-storey mall had 2,400 parking bays, including 1,100 bays within the mall, adding that there was a 93% confirmed tenancy rate.

He said a recent study showed that Penang recorded the third highest sales per capita in the country and there was a 13% projected growth in population by the year 2010.

He added that the mall located in Jalan Todak was also designed to be friendly to handicapped shoppers as there were special services such as the Helping Host programme and facilities such as trend-setting lavatories, Braille-imprinted buttons on all lifts and double railings throughout the mall.

“It is also the first mall in the northern region to utilise the i-LCD directory to help shoppers find their way in the mall,” he added.

The mall is managed under the aegis of Sunway Pyramid Sdn Bhd and wholly owned by Sunway Carnival Sdn Bhd.

Oh GSC somemore cool....and it look great from the pic..i must go there b4 i leave penang :D:D

but i think they didnt do the best in promoting this mall...no brochure distribute in penang island but only in Butterworth :(

for this type of mall the best advertising is by word-of-mouth.

hope this mall is better than the other Province Wellesley's malls

absolutely. This mall will not only cater for middle class families from PW but also for people who stay in Northern Perak, Sungai Petani, Alor Star, Kulim and Perlis.

BORR now an illegal racing track
Friday August 10, 2007
By YENG AI CHUN
TheStar

RESIDENTS living near the But-terworth Outer Ring Road (BORR) have been having sleepless nights for the past five months because of Mat Rempit acti-vities near their homes.

The highway has been turned into an illegal race track in the evenings, with the Bagan Ajam Toll Plaza Rest and Recreation (R&R) pit stop acting as a gathering area for the illegal ra-cers.

Residents claimed that the Mat Rempits would speed down the highway from Sungai Puyu and make a U-turn just right before the toll plaza before continuing their race.

Umno Bagan Division committee member Abdul Hamid Ibrahim, 51, believes the illegal racers were not from Bagan Ajam but from different areas such as Sungai Petani, Perma-tang Pauh and Nibong Tebal.

“The Mat Rempits come here be-cause the highway is well-built and does not have much traffic. Things have worsened these past few months as they no longer just race in the late evenings but also in the early mornings,” said Abdul Hamid.

An engineer who wished to be known as Tan, 27, claimed the Mat Rempits would converge on the pit stop from 6pm until 5am.

“I’ve once seen at least 1,000 Mat Rempits hanging around for the start of the race. Usually, there are at least 200 Mat Rempits at a time.

“The place is also attracting those with modified cars to gather and play loud thumping music,” said Tan who submitted a letter signed by some 200 residents urging the au-thorities to act.

A. Arumugan, 78, who has been staying in Bagan Ajam for 15 years, said his nightmare began after BORR was opened to the public.

“The roaring noise from the mo-torcycles during the racing is unbea-rable. I am an old man. Once I wake up, it’s not easy for me to sleep again,” Arumugan lamented.

Bagan Jermal assemblyman Ooi Chuan Aik, who arranged a meeting among the residents, North Sebe-rang Prai district public order and traffic chief Asst Supt Abd Aziz Daud and BORR operations general ma-nager Mohd Suhaimi Mohd Jusoh, urged the authorities to act against the illegal racers.

“The highway was built for public use and roadusers must consider the safety of others,” said Ooi who also suggested that road humps be plac-ed at strategic locations to deter ille-gal racing.

ASP Abd Aziz said the police had been monitoring the situation since BORR was opened in January and sending patrol cars to the area every week.

“The patrols would be strengthened with MPV patrol cars to deter these Mat Rempits. We are also suggesting that BORR close the U-turn after midnight and reopen it at 6am,” he said.

“We will also continue to summon those who have modified their vehicles and driving without a licence.

Mohd Suhaimi said BORR would conduct an analysis on how to rectify the problem and would close the U-turn as a temporary measure for now.

Too Fast Too Furious ButterDrift! :cool: more speed camera will do the job i think.. or just confiscate their cars and crush it into a square cube and dump it in front of their house as a trophy! :cool:

they are all mat rempit, real SUCK!

seriously.. i still dont know wats mat rempit..

Mat Rempit is those young stunts students who doing some motor stunt while riding or speeding on the road, or speeding in opposite direction of traffic when see road block.

RM2.5mil lantern wonderland Thousands of tanglungs to be displayed at Auto City
Thursday August 23, 2007
TheStar


AUTO City in Prai will be transformed into a ‘lantern wonderland’ for more than three months.

It will be the venue of the 2007 Penang International Lantern Festival, which will be held from 7pm to midnight daily from Sept 15 to Dec 31.

Organised by the Penang Tourism Action Council (PTAC) with the collaboration of the Auto-City Group, the RM2.5mil festival will feature themes like safari, dinosaur and the famous Hello Kitty and Friends.

There will be thousands of lanterns in various shapes and sizes on display at the 4ha venue which will be divided into different sectors, namely, Penang Bridge Arch with Hello Kitty (Sector 1), Kitty’s Village (Sector 2), Animals at Water Front (Sector 3), The Wild (Sector 4), Elephant Rides (Sector 5), Land of Dinosaurs (Sector 6) and Kitty’s Lantern Walkway (Sector 7).

The festival’s Mid-Autumn programme from Sept 15 to Sept 25 will be a star-studded one with appearances by Astro-TVBS local and Taiwanese artistes, lion and dragon dances, a mascot parade, children’s body painting, games and contests.

Other highlights include daily mascot shows, live entertainment, talent competitions, contests and games.

Auto-City Group managing director Gary Teoh said the lanterns and programmes would be changed to suit the different occasions such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Deepavali, Christmas and the New Year countdown.

“The lanterns will be made in China but some will be assembled at Auto City,” he told a press confe-rence in Penang on Tuesday.

Auto-City Group director Ong Bee Lee said there would be a lantern-making contest on Sept 22 for adults and children.

PTAC product development and planning manager Tan Teong Soon said the festival would be made an annual event like the Penang World Music Festival.

Organising chairman Ng Siew Lai said the festival was one of the 50 anchor tourism products of Visit Malaysia 2007.

Tickets to the festivals, priced at RM15 for adults and RM10 for children aged below 12, are now on sale at Auto City’s main entrance.

Visitors will get a free ticket for the same age group for every ticket purchased from Monday to Thursday, except on public holidays and the eve of public holidays.

Teoh said a website on the festival would be set up soon to make it more convenient for locals and tourists to get information on the event.

At least 200,000 people are expected to visit the festival.

Toll collection at Sg Nyior begins
Sunday September 2, 2007
TheStar


http://thestar.com.my/archives/2007/9/2/north/toll.jpg

No longer free: Motorists leaving the Sungai Nyior
toll plaza after paying their toll.

BUTTERWORTH: After being postponed for more than six months, toll collection started at the Sungai Nyior tollbooth with motorists paying 50 sen instead of 90 sen announced earlier.

The tollbooth is one of the three set up along the RM700mil Butterworth Outer Ring Road. Toll collection at the Prai and Bagan Ajam booths began on Feb 20.

Toll collection at the Sungai Nyior toll booth was postponed following protests by motorists, political parties and non-governmental organisations.

Many users were disappointed that toll was being collected.

Among them was a frequent user who wanted to be known only as Akai.

He said the toll would definitely be a burden to people who live and work near the area.

“My workers use the stretch four to five times a day. Imagine paying 50sen every time they pass it to collect spare parts from our supplier in Jalan Heng Choon Thian,” he said.

Another motorist Mohd Zahir Abd Rahman, in his 50s, said the government should not impose toll as the Sungai Nyior stretch was an old road.

Insurance agent M. Kannan, 52, said he felt like he was ‘forced’ to pay the toll.

“I had to reluctantly fork out RM1 today. I believe the toll would go up again in the matter of time. Just wait and see,” he said.

In Nibong Tebal, Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rashid Abdullah said the state government had sent an appeal letter to the Federal Government to consider scrapping toll collection at the tollbooth.

He said the state government had received feedback from the people who were unhappy with the toll collection.

“We have recorded their unhappiness and have given our support in the letter that we have sent to the Works Ministry,” he said after launching the Taman Sungai Duri Merdeka celebrations and gotong royong programme here yesterday.

Temporary terminal for express buses only
Tuesday September 4, 2007
By DERRICK VINESH
TheStar


THE RM5mil temporary bus terminal in Butterworth will have a platform in the middle with 42 parking bays catering to express buses only, said Seberang Prai Municipal Council president Farizan Darus.

The commuter buses, including Rapid Penang, will still operate from its existing site near the Butterworth railway station.

Farizan said the temporary terminal would be built at the old taxi stand area, near the Meriam Timbul seafood restaurant.

He said the design would follow the designs of the Nilai and Kajang bus terminals with a single elongated roof.

He said Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB) would soon construct the temporary bus terminal before working on the new one which would be constructed on the present site.

“We gave our approval for the temporary terminal before the launching of the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER).

“So I believe work on it should have started by now,” he said after chairing a full council meeting at the council headquarters in Bukit Mertajam recently.

He said the council was discussing with MRCB to ensure the existing food stalls and ticketing counters would be relocated close to the temporary terminal.

“The present terminal will still be used during the coming Hari Raya season because the temporary terminal is only expected to be completed by next year,” he said.

Farizan said the temporary terminal would be used for about two to three years, until the new one was completed.

On the RM1mil project to upgrade Taman Selat’s Pasar Aneka, which was the mainland’s version of the island’s Lorong Kulit flea market, Farizan said the tender for the project would be called soon.

“We have, so far, finalised its design, which will be similar to the Pekan Rabu market design in Alor Setar.

“We will upgrade the pedestrian walkway, build toilets and a surau as well as install fans and a proper canopy roofing,” he said.

There are many legends about the origin of the Lantern Festival, and one such legend tells about the story of the Jade Emperor in Heaven who was angry with a town for killing his favourite pet goose, he was so furious that he decided to destroy the town through a fire storm. However, a kind celestial being heard about this, and instructed the people of the town to light lanterns throughout the town on that day. The towns people did as they were told, and from the Heavens, it looked as if the village was ablaze.

Satisfied that his pet had already been avenged, the Jade Emperor decided not to destroy the town. From that day on, people celebrated the anniversary of their deliverance by carrying lanterns of different shapes and colors through the streets on the first full moon of the year.

The moon plays a important role in Chinese festivals - the 15th day of the first lunar month of the Chinese calendar. The festival, which some non-Chinese call as pesta tanglung, is celebrated in grand style by all Malaysians with lantern competitions, mooncake making demonstrations and street processions. During this time, shop owners will be busy assembling lanterns of various shapes out of coloured transparent paper (mostly red and yellow, for these are auspicious colours), wire and paint.

There are lanterns that are also made with a light frame of bamboo covered with transparent paper which represent birds and animals, and other objects of interest. Others are so creatively designed that by the burning of the candle makes the objects appear life like.

The Malaysian Ministry of Culture and Tourism often celebrates the festival on a grand scale with events taking place in several states, plus numerous lantern competitions and processions. The Penang International Lantern Festival 2007 starts on the 15th of September until 31 December 2007 from 7pm until 12 midnight at the Highway Autocity, Juru.

Prominent retail outlet for Seberang Jaya
Thursday December 6, 2007
TheStar

SEBERANG Jaya will have another new prominent landmark when construction work on retail outlet, Jaya Jusco Store, the second major shopping complex in the area, is ready before the middle of next year.

Seberang Jaya state assembly-man Ariff Shah Omar Shah said the new Jaya Jusco store was ex-pected to attract more tourists and visitors to Seberang Prai.

He said they included those from southern part of Perak like Parit Buntar, Bagan Serai and Taiping and northern Kedah, in-cluding Kulim, Gurun and Sungai Petani.

“We hope the opening of the store will help create job and business opportunities for the local people.

“I also hope that the business spillover effects following the opening of the store will help in the revival of some 1,000 trading lots nearby which have been abandoned for the past three years.

“The stall operators, petty traders and retailers who have been promised business opportunities when Bandar Baru Perda was developed have not been able to open their outlets,” he said.

Ariff Shah said the Bandar Perda Jaya Jusco was the second major shopping complex in Seberang Jaya after Sunway Carnival Mall, which was opened six months ago.

It is also the second Jaya Jusco store in Penang after the store in Queensbay Mall in Bayan Baru.

Ariff Shah urged the state government to build an integrated bus and taxi terminal in Seberang Jaya that had developed by leaps and bounds over the past 10 years.

“There are some 80,000 resi-dents staying in Seberang Jaya and they badly need a proper bus and taxi terminal, especially those working in factories in Prai and stay in Seberang Jaya,” he said.

He added that Bandar Baru Perda would soon see a drastic increase in its population when more housing projects were deve-loped in the area and that a transportation hub was highly required in tandem with the rapid development.

RM84mil upgrading plan
Tuesday December 11, 2007
TheStar

THE Seberang Prai Municipal Council has received a RM84mil allocation from the Federal Government to provide basic amenities and improve existing facilities in Seberang Prai.

Council president Farizan Darus said of the amount, RM57mil would be spent to upgrade pump houses in the Prai industrial area.

He said the council had awarded a RM57mil contract to a company to improve all four pump houses in the areas.

“We hope flash floods in the industrial area will be a thing of the past when upgrading work on the pump houses is completed,” he said in an interview yesterday.

Farizan said the council would also award two tenders worth RM9mil to improve basic infrastructure and facilities in Seberang Prai.

The work included the upgrading of roads, drainage and street lighting and putting up road signs, he added. He said the council was now evaluating tenders from contractors. Farizan said the council had also engaged a consultant to devise a system to prevent the theft of its electricity cables.

“The consultant has come out with various methods but we are still evaluating them.

“We will choose the best method soon,” he added.

The theft of electricity cables had caused the council to lose about RM1mil this year.

Auto City to venture into tourism with RM120m investment

THEEDGEDAILY

PENANG: Auto City Group, the operator of Auto City in Juru, is investing about RM120 million to venture into the tourism industry .

Its managing director Gary Teoh said the group was keen to cash in on the tourism industry on the mainland.

“We plan to invest about RM120 million to set up the infrastructure for such activities, and hopefully, the project can take off by the third quarter of the year,” he told The Edge Financial Daily yesterday.

He said the group planned to set up a hotel and facilities for meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) as well as a shopping mall and a family park on a 5.67ha site adjoining Auto City.

“We decided to venture into the tourism industry because we hold a lot of concerts, promotional tours and family events at the Auto City, which has attracted many local and foreign tourists to the area,” he said.

He said Auto City, located on the North-South Highway, has been endorsed by the state government as a tourism ‘product’.

It is the first integrated development in the automobile industry and houses showrooms featuring high-end carmakers such as Porsche, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW and Ferrari.

Teoh said the group invested about RM30 million to build food and beverage as well as entertainment outlets on a 4ha site.

He said the concept of Auto City was mooted after the 1997 Asian financial crisis, when market research in 2001 revealed the automobile industry was on an uptrend.

“At that time, a new concept of showroom, service and spare parts was introduced to the Malaysia market and we were in a position to capitalise on it,” Teoh said.

“However, we also wanted to include F&B outlets in Auto City, to include lifestyle elements in the development,” he said.

To date, the entire development has more than 60,000 sq ft of F&B outlets and more than 120,000 sq ft of car showroom space.

thats a great news!

not too sure myself but i think AEON Bandar Perda is part of the phases of Central Mall or maybe they will build central mall beside AEON

Most likely AEON Bandar Perda is the new name for Central Mall, another mall beside the new mall does not sound feasible.

Country’s largest LED screen in Auto-City

Mammoth structure:The crowd checking out
the new LED screen in Auto-City, Juru.

MOTORISTS passing by Auto-City in Juru on the North-South expressway will be greeted by the country’s biggest outdoor advertising LED screen, which displays traffic updates and the state’s tourism activities.

The RM2.2mil SpotOn Mega Screen was put up by IDS Beyond Media Sdn Bhd in its effort to increase outdoor advertisement and publicity.

Its director Too Seong Ling said Malaysians spend 60% of their time out of their house for shopping, eating and other outdoor activities.

“The country’s total adverti- sing expenditure last year was RM5.5bil but only 2% of it was for outdoor advertisement and publicity.

“With this LED screen, we hope to increase this sector to 5%,” he said during the launching at Auto-City, Juru yesterday.

Too said the company has offered the state government and the Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP) complimentary slots on the LED screen.

“The state is given 20 seconds every half hour daily to broad- cast its message. These slots are used for MPSP announcements, promotion of the state’s tourism spots and activities and Penang bridge traffic updates,” he said.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng was present to launch the LED screen. Also present were his wife Betty Chew and state Youth and Sports, Women, Family and Community Development Com-mittee chairman Lydia Ong Kok Fooi.

The screen is operational 18 hours per day from 7am to 1am. It is 8.64m tall and 16.64m wide and has a display area of 143.7 sq m.

Too said the company planned to put up five screens this year in Kuala Lumpur and on the island.

cool cool cool:banana::banana::banana:
Penang now has two outdoor advertising screens, i.e at KOMTAR and Juru AutoCity.

Flood Problem In South Kedah And North Seberang Perai Will Be Over By 2012
September 11, 2008 15:46 PM

SUNGAI PETANI, Sept 11 (Bernama) -- The flood problem in south Kedah and north Seberang Perai will be resolved once the Sungai Muda flood mitigation project is completed by 2012.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Douglas Uggah Embas said the project costing RM1.2 billion had entered the second package with land reclamation expected to take three months.

"Some 851 families in Kuala Muda will have to be relocated. Construction work in packages 2 and 2B will start soon", he told reporters after visiting the project site here today.

Package 2B involve the building of 54KM of bunds and 138 water control gates, pump house, quarters, deepening and widening of 27KM of rivers and embankment protection work.

Sungai Muda, the country's largest flood mitigation project began in May 2001. It is being implemented in two main packages.

Let project proceed
Friday September 19, 2008

THE Penang Government is going against its own word when it issued a stop work order on a project to build an alternative road in Taman Sembilang, Seberang Jaya, after approving it several months ago, claimed Seberang Jaya assemblyman Datuk Arif Shah Omar Shah.

He said the RM3.6mil project which was being undertaken and funded by the Tesco hypermarket was given a stop work order several days ago.

He said infuriated residents wanted the project to continue as there was presently only one exit from the housing area to the Butterworth-Kulim Expressway (BKE).

“There are some 9,000 people living in the area and the only road leading to the expressway, Jalan Semilang, will be congested when the new hypermarket, Tesco Extra, is open to the public on Sept 25.

“They want an alternative road and this has been approved by the state government and now, it is reversing the decision by issuing a stop work order to the contractor engaged by Tesco to build the road,” claimed Arif Shah during a visit to the stalled project site with residents.

Arif Shah said Tesco had invested some RM100mil for the new hypermarket.

“I have fought for the alternative road since 2005 when the BKE was opened by highlighting the matter in the state assembly. In fact, the state government had agreed to approve the project when it replied to my written question,” he claimed.

Taman Sembilang mosque committee chairman Umar Hamid, 66, said the state government should look into the interest of residents as they were the ones who would face problems of congestion when the hypermarket was open.

He said there were already too many cars in the area and the congestion problem would worsen when outsiders patronised the hypermarket.

State executive councillor Phee Boon Poh said investigations showed that the hypermarket did not submit any application to the relevant authorities to build the alternative road.

“We found out about this and issued a stop work order on Sept 12.

“We are now trying to help Tesco to expedite work on the project before its opening by asking the management to do the needful.

“I have also asked the central Seberang Prai land office to help Tesco by expediting the necessary approvals after they have submitted their applications.

“We hope they will co-operate with us as we are trying our best to help them settle the problem,” he added.

Illegal banners to be removed
Friday October 24, 2008

THE Seberang Prai Municipal Council will appoint certain garbage collection contractors to bring down illegal banners and streamers, which have haphazardly hung at road junctions, roundabouts and public places.

Council president Farizan Darus said the contractors would also check on the expiry dates of the council’s permits displayed on the banners and streamers.

“Initially, we thought of asking the public to help take down and bring the illegal banners to us for a nominal fee.

“But we then realised that the move might cause young children to blindly run across busy streets merely to collect such banners,” he said in Butterworth on Wednesday.

Last Saturday, The Star highlighted that Seberang Prai was fast becoming a haven for illegal banners and streamers.

Apart from being an eyesore, some dilapidated ones that dangled precariously from lampposts, trees and walkway railings also posed a danger to passing motorists.

Under the council’s Advertisement By-law 2001, advertisers need to display permits in the form of council stickers at the cost of RM20 per banner that was valid for 30 days.

Municipal councillor G. Ramiah said that except for banners from the state government and those that promoted environment conservation, all other banners, including those on ceramah and festive greetings by politicians, must have the necessary permits.

Farizan said the contractors would be divided according to locations and paid a certain sum to remove the banners on a regular basis.

“Advertisers keen on putting up banners and streamers must apply for necessary permits from us to avoid having them removed.

“Those whose approved banners are accidentally taken down before the expiry of the permits, should inform us for immediate action to be taken against the contractors concerned,” he said.

Forty local and international companies are expected to showcase more than RM40mil worth of super cars, antique and classic cars and modified cars while the various competitions are expected to draw in more than 200 regional competitors.

The Search for Miss M2 is where aspiring models compete to be featured on the cover of a leading regional motorsports magazine.

"In an EGM held on 25 November 2002 at the Club's premises, the vast majority (78%) of the Ordinary Members voted in favour to relocate the Penang Turf Club to Batu Kawan. An international class state-of-the-art racecourse will be built at the new site to mark Penang Turf Club's entry into the international racing league which will in turn promote tourism in Penang regarding all things equestrian. Pic below shows part of the proposed new racecourse designed by HOK, international specialists in racecourse designs."

Penang to build new racecourse

PENANG, 26 November 2002

http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1843/penang3265328zq8.jpg
PNTC President showing a model of the Penang
International Equestrain Centre.

Penang Turf Club (PNTC) members have approved the sale of the land where the present racecourse is sited and construct a new racecourse at Batu Kawan on the Penang mainland at an Emergency General Meeting yesterday.

Of the 490 ordinary member of the Club, 383 members, or 78 percent, voted in favour of the committee’s proposal to sell the club’ s entire land bank in Jalan Batu Gantong to developer Abad Naluri Sdn Bhd for RM488mil, PNTC President Ong Eng Khuan told a news conference after the EGM.

"They also agreed for Abad Naluri to acquire a 120ha site in Batu Kawan and to construct the new racecourse and ancillary buildings for PNTC at an estimated cost of RM375mil."

Mr Ong said 61 members opposed the above resolution while there were four spoilt votes.

The second resolution — "that the club carries on the sport of horse racing at, and removes itself to, a new location at Batu Kawan after a racecourse and ancillary premises have been constructed" — was supported by 385 members while 38 objected. There was one spoilt vote.

Mr Ong said 382 members voted for the third resolution that authorised the committee to apportion and distribute a sum of RM20,000 to each and every ordinary member of Penang Turf Club for the additional cost and inconvenience of attending the races at the new location (Batu Kawan) of the racecourse. Thirty-five members opposed this resolution and there was one spoilt vote.

Work on the Penang International Equestrian Centre, as the new site will be called, is scheduled to start next year and it is expected to be ready by 2008, replacing the 64-year-old racecourse at Jalan Batu Gantong.

The new Club will have an exhibition centre, restaurants and a recreational park with an aviary and jogging tracks, as part of its social obligations.

I thought it has been canceled long time ago?
If I'm not mistaken, the company (Equine) was supposed to build it but it was canceled because Equine delivered nothing and more importantly PGCC was canceled.

Now it makes me wonder whether the rest of the Penangites still in favor of the project (Both PGCC and Batu Kawan racecourse) or against it. Personally I still hoping for the project to be revived.
