SRJK (C) Chung Shan needs to relocate due to airport expansion
By CHRISTOPHER TAN
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.as...9884&sec=North

A PRIMARY school near the Penang International Airport has asked to be relocated after the board of directors found that the present site is no longer suitable for studying in.

SRJK (C) Chung Shan, located on Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, is asking to be moved because of the ongoing airport expansion project involving an engineering warehouse to be built behind the school.

National Unity and Integration Department field officer Por Joo Tee said the school board viewed the area as no longer suited for education as the development would interfere with the pupils’ studies.

“The board has identified a 1.86ha plot of land near a housing project on Jalan Tun Dr Awang, Sungai Ara, as the school’s new premises. It is well suited for the school because there’s a booming population there.”

Por is also MCA Bayan Baru division organising secretary.

School board secretary Teh Kim Chuan said the land belonged to the state government after the housing developer had handed it over for educational purposes.

“The land of about 4.6 acres is suitable for our school as the size of the area is almost the same as what we have now.

“But the school board of SRJK (C) Aik Hua on Muntri Street has also asked for the same plot for its relocation. We have asked the board to back down on their request as our plight is more urgent,” he told a press conference yesterday.

Among those present were MCA Bayan Baru division chairman Tan Lai Theng, school board chairman Khor Ah Chew and Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) chairman Lim Boon Choon.

Meanwhile, Penang International Airport senior manager Mohd Arif Jaafar said the warehouse would be used as a maintenance depot for vehicles operating at the airport.

“The piling work was done over the recent school holidays to avoid disturbing the pupils.

“The expansion cannot be avoided as the airport needs more facilities to cater to the people,” he said when contacted.

SRJK (C) Chung Shan was built in 1951 on a piece of land donated by the late millionaire Yeap Chor Ee while the building was built by the late Aw Boon Haw, a philanthropist, who founded the famous Tiger Balm company.

The school now has about 300 pupils.

Airport upgrade in full swing

GEORGE TOWN: Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad is confident that the ongoing expansion and renovation of the Penang International Airport will be completed by June next year despite that its construction pace is presently 2% behind schedule.

Its senior general manager (operations) Datuk Azmi Murad said the overall construction progress was at 54%, which was 2% behind schedule.

He said the construction was targeted to reach 56% by the end of this month, while the overall cost of the expansion plans remained unchanged at RM250mil.

“We are confident that we will meet the completion date which is set for June 2012,” he said during a media briefing session at the airport here yesterday.

Azmi said the scope of work for the expansion included improving the main terminal building facade, departure curb side expansion, extension of the domestic wing, interior upgrading and an installation of an in-line baggage screening system.

“One of the important plans is the extension of the departure and arrival corridors. This would allow for proper segregation of international and domestic passengers (here),” he said.

The new drop-off and pick-up points in front of the terminal building will open from Sunday onwards for buses, taxis and private vehicles,” said Azmi.

Azmi also announced that the new contact number for the airport here is 04-2520252. - The Star

Better facilities at airport
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.as...5067&sec=North
A MULTI-STOREY car park and a hotel block will soon be built within the Penang International Airport ground, said state Public Works, Utilities and Transportation Committee chairman Lim Hock Seng.

“The car park, which will have 1,218 lots, and the hotel will be tendered to interested concessionaires via open tender.

“Both structures will not exceed 30m as per the Civil Aviation Department’s (DCA) Obstruction Clearance Limitation,” he told reporters after inspecting the work progress at the airport in Bayan Lepas yesterday.

Lim said airport users could now enjoy smoother pick-up and drop-off of passengers with the opening of the arrival and departure curb side and ramps on Friday, adding that lanes had been built according to vehicle types.

“The opening of the new drop-off and pick-up points has visibly eased traffic flow but the absence of signs has caused motorists to park haphazardly outside the terminal building.

“Signs and road-line works will be carried out at night when there are fewer cars to ensure the public abide by the system and not take advantage of the situation by simply parking anywhere they like,” he said.

The arrival and departure ramps had been closed to visitors since April this year due to the upgrading and repair works.

Throughout that period, passengers and visitors had to endure numerous inconveniences even though nearly RM1.6 million had been spent on temporary diversion measures following complaints.

Airport senior manager Mohd Ariff Jaafar, who was also present, expressed confidence that they would be able to meet the completion date of June 2012.

Earlier, Lim and Batu Maung assemblyman Abdul Malik Abul Kassim also visited the completed RM6.1mil road rehabilitation project along the coastal road on the Lim Chong Eu Expressway and Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah in Penang.

They thanked motorists for their understanding and patience during the four-month road closure and diversion.

Abdul Malik said road users, including him, would get to enjoy a smoother and a safer driving experience along these roads.

I think it does make sense since the airport is still operating even though this massive expansion/renovation takes place. If they take of the roof first before putting the new one. If rain comes, then the building will get flooded with rain water right.
