Briefing for Scotland Park and neighbouring residents about the realities of the Penang Global City Centre on 31st October 2007. Visit http://penangwatch.net/pgcc for more info.
Talk talk talk....the group everyone excited but when elections are here, no efforts to draw in the YBs and contender for Bukit Bendera to talk and state their position on PGCC
The was mention that Hunza's Gurney Paragon was converted from Educational Land? Did Hunza buy this property at low rates and upon conversion now stand to make huge profits even without a single building being built? Is this a new trend of Land Grabbing in Malaysia? How can the conversions be so easily made when there are objections from the local residents? This stinks. Either the Authorities are Corrupted or Incompetent!
This is really bad. Using taxpayers money to create more traffic jams and enviromental issues. Everyone should protest to this development. Penangwatch,when are u going to organize a rally, since even the press reports are misleading. That's the only way you can get notice.
scrap it ,put it under further consideration

In no "developed" country a project of such madness would get approval. Why here in Penang, is it just political favouritism ?
What a sad story and an opportunity lost for ever. Just think about the many trees, hundreds of years old, that will have die.
