BN strategic communications deputy director Eric See-To claims state to spend RM9 billon improving Gurney Drive to benefit private developer of Welness City of Dreams.
PETALING JAYA: The Barisan Nasional Strategic Communications (BNSC) team claims the Penang government is allowing a private company to benefit from developing a project worth RM15 billion, at the expense of the state.
BNSC deputy director Eric See-To Choong said the Wellness City of Dreams set to be developed along Gurney Drive, will be privately owned in a joint venture between a public listed company and the Penang Tunnel Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) company.
“Sources provided me with information that the project covers 50 acres of state land on Gurney Drive that the Penang government had allowed the SPV company to pre-sell for RM2.83 billion to a listed company,” See-To said.
He then referred to previous announcements by the state government that “hundreds of millions of Ringgit” of state funds will be used to build the Gurney Wharf project next to the Wellness City of Dreams project.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng had in February last year announced the Gurney Wharf project as a waterfront park spanning nearly 5km. It is a public park and wharf, replete with a manmade beach, which would be free of charge for the public to use.
See-To said the state government will be spending massive amounts of money to support the Gurney Wharf project, suggesting that the private owners of Wellness City of Dreams will also greatly benefit.
“The Penang government had previously said they will build an eight-lane road in front of this development along Gurney drive that will cost between RM300-RM400 million, with the cost to be borne by the state.
“The state government has also announced the construction of a 19.5km Pan Island Link highway that will connect this development to the Penang International airport in a project that will cost RM7.5 billion.
“It is clear that the state is spending close to RM9 billion of state funds that is derived from state land and assets sale on projects that appear to make the Wellness City of Dreams to be the main beneficiary,” See-To said.
He also questioned why wasn’t the Penang Development Corporation (PDC) given a stake in the Wellness City of Dreams.
“Since the project is on state land and the state government is spending up to RM9 billion of state funds towards its success, why was PDC not allowed to have a stake in this RM15 billion project.”
See-To then reminded the DAP-led Penang government not to ignore his questions as it had always advocated transparency.
“Over the past few months, the state government has been unable or afraid to reply to my past statements on the controversial Penang Tunnel project, with many questions still left unanswered.
“Many Malaysians find this surprising as the DAP had said they practice transparency and would normally be quick to defend but this time around, such questions on a RM6.34 billion project using public money has been met with deafening silence from them.” -FMT
