GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Pakatan Harapan government has been reminded that they were the ones who wanted ferries to be replaced with catamarans as stated in its Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP).
Penang historian Khoo Salma Nasution said the state leadership had apparently forgotten that they proposed to replace the ferries with catamarans.
“It says so in the PTMP or perhaps they haven’t read the document themselves, ” she said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
Khoo Salma said most of the post-2015 version of the PTMP was objectionable as it consisted mainly of environmentally-destructive highways and reclamation and the state government wanted to bulldoze it through despite objections from the rakyat.
