Penang South Island: A Controversial Path to Progress

In this thought-provoking video, we delve into the contentious topic of the Penang South Island project. Join us as we explore the motivations behind Malaysia's choice to reclaim the sea for new development, the environmental concerns raised by critics, and the impact on local communities.
Discover the arguments for and against this ambitious endeavour, and uncover alternative perspectives that challenge the necessity of such extensive land reclamation. As we navigate through the complexities of the Penang South Island project, we aim to shed light on the multifaceted issues at hand and spark a meaningful conversation about the balance between progress and environmental preservation.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of this highly debated project and its implications for the future of Penang.

Batu Kawan will be developed and fully occupied before PSI is ready for development. PSi is a plan for the next 10 years, not a simple project for one or two days. Support PSI.

In the past, the beach along outer Bagan Luar to Teluk Air Tawar was very clean, so people focused on relaxing and swoimming, but when the land redemption project was made for Penang Port, then the beach lost its shine, the water became muddy, and you could no longer swimming. This is the price that had to pay for development. Maybe same things will happen to the beach pads of Tanjung Bungah, Batu Peringgi and Teluk Bahang.

Mainland Penang has plenty of land for growth but is often neglected. Instead of building "this" and "that," focus on cleaning up Penang. Many places like the beaches and some residential areas outside the heritage old town are filled with rubbish. Build friendly pedestrian sidewalks and biking trails all over the island and improve the public transit. Transit users wait 30 to 40 minutes for a bus in some areas. Transit app that allows commuters to track the arrival time should be in place. Also, find a solution for the exposed dirty gutter system.

We need more land for development. Those who oppose can move to HK, Sg, Japan, Shanghai, etc and ask the governments there to sink their reclaimed lands. This youtube site is from people who are short-sighted.

Patutnya membangunkan sektor perikanan, kerang, dan makanan laut lain supaya menjadi tumpuan/pusat jualan dan belian ikan, kerang dan makanan laut lain secara segar dari laut (mengelakkan org tgh) dan dapat meningkatkan pendapatan nelayan/pelaut dan penternak pesisir pantai

Hopefully this development won't push up the property prices around Penang Island.

[@cheheaven5630]

Jangan asyik suka nak menghalau penduduk perkampungan nelayan di situ dgn alasan2 tidak munasabah, patut tingkatkan taraf pendapatan dan ekonomi nelayan/pelaut supaya mereka dapat menjana kekayaan sebagai nelayan dan penternak sisir pantai. Cara ini dapat membiakkan ekosistem hidupan laut dan boleh menghapuskan kemiskinan di kalangan nelayan/pelaut

The authority is selling the area for money.

[@tiushanshong9749]

The reason why cannot built new area in mainland because there have some stupid extreme religious people from PAS always kacau the project from beside state. This is why Penang Island need to do land reclaiming.
