Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) state executive councillor Teng Chang Yeow said the Penang Road works will be completed soon but this has to be seen to be believed. It is truly unbelievable that Gerakan can do such a thing to their voters with the coming Chinese New Year and the impending elections:
Campbell Street Business Association chairman Charles Leong said since the entrance was closed, shoppers had been advised to park their cars at the council's Hutton Lane multi-storey car park and at Kampong Malabar before coming to the popular shopping area.
He said it was vital to their livelihood that the Campbell Street entrance be open to traffic especially with the approaching festive season.
“We are appealing to the council to expedite the completion of roadworks which have badly affected our business.
“We do not want our business to be affected further as the month leading up to the Chinese New Year is our opportunity to enjoy brisk business,” he said.
Leong added that the closure of the Campbell Street entrance had affected the business of its 150-odd association members.
“Many of our members are wholesalers who have complained that they are unable to unload their goods as lorries could not come in,” he said.
The current roadworks is part of the RM4.4mil Penang Road second phase upgrading project which began on Aug 1 last year. It is scheduled for completion on May 31.
Will Penangites like their American counterparts vote for a change? Do we have a Barack Obama in our midst or should we settle for a sleeping Prime Minister?
