The Star had reported that a Developer had handed a proposal to the State government to "develop" the 20 odd ha of agricutural center in Relau.......(mmm i wonder who the developer might be.....) But seriously Tan Sri Koh...we don't need another Taman of high rises in that part of pg island (we all know that there is already a glut because nobody in pg trusts the developer to manage the high rises properly...in due course the high rise apts will turn into slums probably worse than the chicago housing projects)..........neither do we need RM 1 million terrace houses....think of us the poor suffering majority living in crammed conditions....what we need is open spaces....parks and greenery....green lungs as u so rightly commented....
Penang is one of those states that do not have much state or government land...so why on earth do we want to hand over to the private sector the little that the state government got....
Penang has 1.4 million registered motor vehicles....and with only 1.4 million people...we are the world's most motorised state....come on....we are becoming the L.A. of ASEAN....as the song goes.."LA is a big big freeway...put a dollar down and buy a car"......we need wide open and green spaces....with trees...in the Relau Agricenter....we have lovely durian trees....
Except for the Relau metropolitan park, we do not have much open spaces and greenery for the peoplein this part of the island......but we have lots of private land here, which will likely be converted to housing estates.......let the Developer buy these land off the private owners if they want into property development but HANDS OFF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY......
