Oh so they are building it!!! I tot the construction has stopped

^^ u mean the new pier?

^^ u mean the new pier?

Yeah I was talking about the new pier... I remember the last time I went back Penang, I saw all the pillars, sand, rock... around that area but no construction going on...

Well, the construction should have been completed this year. It's now at least 6 months behind.

Furthermore the contractor has been implicated in some sort of unethical business behaviour, overcharging the transport ministry by RM3.5 million.

Therefore, expect further delay.

^^ hmm.. thats gay.. should've lock them up in jail for blackmailin the gov! :lol:

The Chinese daily reported that the new Swettenham Port is going to be completed next month. I don't know what's with the contradicting time frame given.

For those who can read Chinese, or want to see some picture, here's the link:

Hi guys, what do you feel about Chew jetty.

I see the structure is deteriorating, and the old habit of the people there treating the sea as their sewage and trash can.

Although there might be some history, but I don't see the artistic value worth preserving it?

Share with me your thought.

oofffffff ccooouuuurrrrrsssseeeeee i agree with uuu...........!!!!!!!!!!!
i always told that to people....it's being an eyesore more than history.....i was involved in the filming of the chew jetty community if u know about it...we interviewed senior residents there and the oldest citizen there 94 years old i think....check out the documentary...i was the soundman....that place has to be improved or evacuated and kept as a heritage historic property along with giving some space for other phases of PORR.....

Where can we obtain this film?

Have camera, will rescue

Continuing our series on the intriguing film projects of FreedomFilmFest07winners, we speak to a first-time filmmaker who is attempting to save Penang’s unique ‘clan jetties’ by making a documentary explaining their fascinating heritage.

GEORGE TOWN has a problem conserving heritage. At least this is what Ong Boon Keong believes, especially after two clan jetties at Weld Quay, the Peng Aun and Koay jetties, were demolished in April last year despite a campaign protesting the move.

Blocks of flats are now being built on the land.

The clan jetties, some of which have existed since the 1890s, were once home to Chinese port labourers. Families from the same clans stuck to the same jetty, hence the term “clan jetties”.

Today, their descendants continue to live there, though few make their living from the sea.

The remaining jetties are the Chap Seh Keo (mixed surname), Chew, Lee, Lim, Tan and Yeoh jetties.


http://thestar.com.my/archives/2007/9/2/lifefocus/sm_p6OngBoon.jpg

With his documentary, Ong Boon Keong hopes to educate not just tourists but Malaysians too on the jetties’ significance.
“I’ve found that one of the reasons why people don’t value heritage is because they don’t know the history (of the place). Perhaps the older people know, but the young don’t,” says Ong, 47, who was involved in the campaign.

Surely the members of the city council, of all people, know the history of the jetties?

But, says Ong, “The Government says that most of the buildings (in Penang) are privately owned so they can’t do anything.”

Recently, though, the council seems to have made some effort at conservation: news reports said there are plans to build a walkway that connects the jetties and for an interpretive exhibition to be set up in one of the clan community halls.

Ong, however, is rather dismissive of such moves when we call him to get his opinion.

“I don’t think any serious conservationist will say that these are acts of conservation. Replacing the planks is not a priority. The sanitation system is priority,” he points out.

“The residents have approached the Government about the issue numerous times. It was only lately – a month ago – that there have been some gotong royong (communal work party) efforts when the council brought in people to help get rid of the garbage in the area.”

http://thestar.com.my/archives/2007/9/2/lifefocus/sm_p6village.jpg

The people on the clan jetties live cheek by jowl, and are better off for it for everyone knows each other – and they don’t have to lock their doors!
Ong is an activist and the coordinator of Penang Watch, a website where Penangites can discuss issues concerning George Town.

Of the people who live on the jetties, he says, “They’ve been there for over a century, and now their right to live there is renewable year by year.

“The obvious question is, ‘How can you have a conservation of heritage with a year-by-year lease?

“Even an ordinary person will ask: ‘Why does your heritage last only one year?’ That’s very funny! I think politicians need to answer that obvious quesstion,” he says.

If the council were serious about conserving these jetties, Ong claims, it should consider gazetting them as a heritage site.

And if the historical value doesn’t move it, the council should consider the jetties’ commercial value because, despite their shaky right to exist, the clan jetties attract as many as 20 to 30 buses of tourists a week.

Says Ong: “The tourists will walk from the beginning to the end of the jetty and then back, but the tour guides won’t tell them much.

“They will just say, ‘That’s the Penang Bridge’, that’s Komtar (George Town’s most well-known shopping complex)’. About the jetties? Nothing much!”

http://thestar.com.my/archives/2007/9/2/lifefocus/sm_p6jetty.jpg

Above: While most on the jetties don’t look to the sea for a living, some still make money ferrying people to nearby ships.
Worse, tourists are sometimes fed wrong information.

”For example, they’re told that the jetties are fishing villages. When in reality not many people fish there,” he explains.

There was a need to educate the tourists, he realised. A documentary, he thought, would be a perfect tool to do that.

And as fate would have it, Ong found out that the popular sinseh (traditional Chinese medicine man) in the office next door to his was Chew jetty resident association chairman Chew Hock Eam, 57. (Ong’s office is just a short walk away from the clan jetties.) When Ong suggested making the documentary to Chew, he immediately agreed to help.

Together with a few others, Ong began filming in 2006. The purpose of the self-funded amateur project was to create a film that could tell tourists enough of the jetties’ stories to make them feel something for the place.


Life’s slow and idyllic on the jetties.
Ong eventually won a grant to film the documentary on more professional terms when he took part in Freedom-FilmFest07 – though what effect that had on his little film is an interesting tale in itself, told in A surprise win (see page 7).

His little home movie now has an official name – The Weld Quay George Town Squatters – and has been filmed with proper cameras.

During filming, the crew lived in Chew’s ancestral home on the Chew Jetty and got a taste of clan jetty life.

“On the jetty, they don’t lock their houses, day or night. And you can just walk in. It was a very pleasant surprise,” says Ong.

“They’re in the middle of the town, but in most respects, they’re like a kampung. The families have known each other for generations, are very trusting of each other, and have a close relationship.

“They’re way ahead of the suburban neighbourhood where you don’t even know your next door neighbour,” Ong notes.

Of his documentary, Ong says, “It’s almost a sad story.

“But we’re trying to present the documentary as something you can laugh at and yet be aware of the sad bits of the story.

“Our intent is not to make people cry; we want to make it attractive to tourists and, at the same time, make them really understand the history of the place,” explains Ong.

Ong describes his film as a “docu-drama” as there are dramatised segments. However, Ong didn’t hire actors for those bits. He came up with the intriguing idea of using a puppet show for those sections. Specifically, traditional Chinese puppet shows that are staged at the jetties during religious festivals.

However, getting a troupe to cooperate proved more difficult than he had anticipated.

“There are not many of these groups in Penang. Getting them proved to be difficult as they are used to telling 300-year-old stories from China. They’ve memorised the music and dialogue, so they’ve not written new scripts.

“Therefore, it was a challenge for them (to write a new play). And they really didn’t have to do this to cari makan (earn a living) as they have many invites from temples and associations to perform the traditional stuff,” says Ong when I visit him in his Penang office.

Ong tried to encourage the puppet masters by saying that they’ll get more invitations to perform thanks to the exposure the documentary gives them, but to no avail. Three groups turned him down.

“We were panicking, we thought that there wouldn’t be anything as colourful to replace the puppet show,” he says.

However, just as they were about to give up and use wayang kulit – which was something they were reluctant to do, as it was not indigenous to the people of the area – a troupe agreed to stage a puppet play for the documentary.

“The puppet master and his three puppeteers wrote three songs and figured out how to stage the play on the day of filming,” says Ong.

The puppet show, which was staged in Hokkien, took a day to film and takes up about 17 minutes of the documentary. It will have English subtitles.

“There are also versions with Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese subtitles in the works. If the tourists are keen, who knows? We may have Japanese and Korean versions, too,” says Ong with a smile.

The film will be under 30 minutes, as tourists will not have much time to watch a long documentary, he said.

And Ong already has a place to screen his documentary: the clan jetties’ two-storey community hall. The documentary will be shown year-round to benefit the tourists.

“A lot of filmmakers will probably be jealous of us – we don’t have to sell our documentary to television stations or the cinema because we have a place booked already,” Ong points out, laughing.

But, ultimately, Ong hopes that the film will convince policymakers that the clan jetties are worth preserving as a heritage site.

“If you take away the heritage, you cannot replicate it,” he says.

floating rubbish is one problem, but if you say that we need to get rid of those 'dilipidated' structure and to make it flashy, i don't agree.

we can see thailand's floating market has attracted a lot of intention even tho the structures there are deteriorating too...

Modernisation isn't necessary a good thing

^^ some of these jetties like Lee Jetty and New Jetty are actually built on concrete structures and the houses are recently built. I think their listing as a heritage site is not because of the buildings but in terms of way of life (clans). About sanitation, I'm not sure whether they use proper methods or "old skool" method.

Is it just me or do I find many of the Chew Jetty houses actually look alike, and they look quite "new", say only few decades old.

those boats go to where huh??? got starcruise la...

^^ the boats are used to ferry passengers from the cruise ship to shore. That's the reason the new "largest marina" is being built, so that cruise ships can dock directly at the pier.

Is it just me or do I find many of the Chew Jetty houses actually look alike, and they look quite "new", say only few decades old.


actually wooden house owners regularly renovate their house, like changing some part of the wall or the zinc roof.

in this case, the 'historical' term goes to how old the settlement is, not how old the structures are...

i'm not against the conservation of these jetties....i've personnaly seen and even lived there myself during the shooting...and i've lived with Mr. Ong and did a lot of discussion and use to hang out in the jetty...it's pretty nice place...and of course important place...BUT MY ONLY REQUEST AND HOPE IS THAT THE PLACE SHOULD BE KEPT IN A GOOD SHAPE....AND GOOD CONDITION....NO SANITATION....ALL GOES TO THE SEA....IT'S A PORT FOR ILLEGAL IMIGANTS TO GET INTO THE ISLAND....MR.ONG AND I HAVE WITNESSED IT OURSELVES...THOSE PEOPLE LIVING THERE WHO OWNS SHIP OR SAMPAN EARNS BY GETTING INDONS AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS INTO THE ISLAND....I MET THE CHAIRMAN THE CHEW JETTY CHAIRMAN...THESE PEOPLE SHOULD AT LEAST KEEP THE JETTIES IN A PROPER MANNER WITHOUT BEING AN EYESORE...SHOULD AT LEAST BUILD SANITATION SYSTEM TO SAVE THE SEA WATER....NO ONE IS MAKING ANY MOVES...ALL JUST WANT TO BE LAZY AND LIVE THERE FOREVER WITHOUT IMPROVING THEIR LIFESTYLE AND GIVING SPACE FOR IMPROVEMENTS...ISN'T THAT SELFISH...ALL THEY KNOW IS TO COMPLAIN....THATS WHY I ALWAYS SAY....IF THESE COMMUNITIES LIVING HERE ARE WILLING TO KEEP THE PLACE IN GOOD CONDITION WITHOUT RUINING IT'S ENVIRIONMENT...THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM IN CONSERVING THIS HERITAGEOUS PLACE....IF NOT BETTER GET OUT OF THAT PLACE AND LET THESE DIRTY AND FILTHY JETTIES TO BE DEMOLISHED....MORE LOGICAL....MORE ORTHODOXED...MORE PRACTICAL....

I think Bayan Mutiara = Queens Bay lo..

I think Bayan Mutiara = Queens Bay lo..

Bayan Mutiara is different from Queensbay development....even though it can be said it's next to each other
Queensbay(formerly known as Bayan Bay) will have its own marina....but I'm not so sure about Bayan Mutiara.....

but in this picture (old rendering by the way) you can see marina was included as well

that'll be me... he he... i think the rendering has changed through the years... that pic was taken a few years back...

guys...that is the old Bayan Mutiara plan....and Bayan Mutiara is not related to Queensbay at all....anyway Bayan Mutiara is not the same anymore...the administrative capital which is a part of B.Mutiara has been scrapped by Lim Guan Eng...doesn't want to waste money as it's by PDC...but other parts of the huge Bayan Mutiara megaproject might remain...like D'residences is going to be completed...not sure about the marina...and Mutiara Pica might be launched as well.....but Bayan Mutiara looks pretty ambitious....hopefully they come up with new launches under B.Mutiara....maybe the next one would be waterfronting commercial component....

Piering into a bright future
By MANJIT KAUR

THE Swettenham Pier, which is undergoing a RM65mil expansion, is expected to be operational by early next year, Penang Port Commission (PPC) chairman Tan Cheng Liang said.

She said the project consultant, Ahmad Zaki Yahya, had informed her that the project would be handed over to the PPC by September.

“After that, the consultant would apply for the Certificate of Fitness. This will take about two months.
http://thestar.com.my/archives/2009/7/10/north/pier.jpg
Tan (in pink outfit) showing the progress of the Swettenham Pier terminal to Nazir Ariff (in white outfit) and Battistotti (right).

“They also needed to coordinate with several agencies such as the Customs and Immigration departments,” she told newsmen after a visit to the project site yesterday.

Tan said the main building was expected to be completed by the end of the month, with the pontoon, mobile bridge and the conveyer system to be in place by the middle of next month.

“At the moment, the progress of the project is satisfactory, and I hope that it can be fully operationally by early next year.

“Although the project has been delayed for a year, it is now progressing well,” she said.

Earlier, the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI), led by its Penang branch chairman Datuk Seri Nazir Ariff, paid a visit to Tan at the PPC office to get the latest details on Penang Port development.

MICCI is also a member of the Penang Port Consultative Council.

A view of the RM65mil Swettenham terminal expansion project.

The MICCI members, including the Malaysia Association of Hotels Penang Chapter chairman Marco G. Battistotti, also visited the project site.

Battistotti hoped the project would be fully operational by January as some 750,000 cruise passengers were expected to visit Penang next year.

He said this was a major leap compared to an estimated 500,000 passengers this year and 400,000 passengers last year.

“If the terminal is ready, the cruise ships can dock at the terminal itself instead of anchoring in the middle of the sea,” he added.

In his briefing, Ahmad Zaki said the project was 87% completed.

He said the “one-of-its kind” three-storey building would house retail shops, tourism information centre, money changer counter and a cafeteria.

“Four middle-sized cruise ships can docked at the pier at one time. We will also have a conveyer belt system to enhance customer service,” he added.

Port Swettenham expansion to be completed in September
By DAVID TAN


THE delayed RM55.4mil Port Swettenham expansion project will be completed in September, says Penang Port Commission (PPC) chairman Tan Cheng Liang.

She says PPC is managing the project, which is 86% completed.

“The main building, now 99% completed, will accommodate shops, a Customs inspection and quarantine centre, and sufficient space for 40 taxis and five buses to pick up passengers.

“After that, the main contractor (of the project) will have to issue a two-year warranty for the entire project,” she told a press conference yesterday.

http://biz.thestar.com.my/archives/2009/4/11/business/b_14tanchengliang.jpg
Tan Cheng Liang with an artist’s impression of the extended Port Swettenham pier.

The expansion, to enable international cruise liners with over 3,000 passengers to berth at Port Swettenham, was originally scheduled for completion by November 2007, 18 months after it kicked off in May 2006.

Due to technical problems related to design and finance faced by the main contractor, PPC extended the deadline to late last year.

“Since they were still not able to meet the extended deadline, PPC has decided to manage the project jointly with the main contractor.

“This will allow PPC to deal directly with the sub-contractors. We will use some new sub-contractors to complete the more specialised aspects of the expansion,” she said.

Tan adds that another option would be to terminate the main contractor and re-tender the whole project.

“This would take time and cost the Federal Government a further RM21mil.

“The approach that we are taking offers the best solution as it ensures the port redevelopment will be ready soon to help boost the local tourism industry,” she said.

It's been delayed by more than a year and a half, yet PPC and Tan Cheng Liang can come out to make all those press statement like it's a good thing it's going to be completed in September.

It's called the PENANG Port Commission, yet its chairman is appointed by the federal government, and is almost always a political appointment from MCA.

No lah, the 21mil extra comes if they change the contractor. But still...no mention of the cost of the delay or if the "main con" is penalised.

^^ Ah, right - misread it. As far as I know, the main contractor isn't penalised. We haven't heard of any lawsuits yet have we.

Besides, July 10 report says it cost RM 65 millon, and it's 87% completed (see above). July 16 report says it's RM 55.4 million and 86% completed. Weird.

it's getting cheaper!!:lol:
