It takes 27 years to complete a project in Penang

The Star, 7 January - Jelutong Sewage plant becomes a reality after 27 years

PENANGITES, especially those living near the foreshore area of George Town, may soon be enjoying fresher air after enduring the stench of raw sewage for decades.

The RM478mil Jelutong sewage treatment plant, mooted 27 years ago, has just been completed and is expected to be fully operational by end of next month. Construction for the plant started in December 2004.

Located on a 14.7ha site beside the Jelutong Expressway, the plant is the country’s biggest centralised sewerage and sludge treatment plant.

JR: I wonder how many years will the Gerakan government take to fill up the potholes along Jalan Jelutong which I have noticed since more then 20 years ago, too. Is it any wonder then why DAP is going all out for Penang?
