MAHB staff quarters relocation issue due to Penang airport expansion resolved: Chow

Chief minister says over 50 affordable homes in Teluk Kumbar offered to those affected

BUKIT MERTAJAM – The Penang government has resolved the relocation issue of over 50 Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) staff affected by the Penang International Airport expansion project. 

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow stated that the relocation involved those residing in quarters, and they have been offered affordable homes in Teluk Kumbar. 

“The state government’s role is limited because the (expansion) project is managed by MAHB. 

“The upcoming phase does not involve land acquisition (by the state government), so the state government can only assist in the relocation of quarters (involved) on that site. 

“And this has been resolved, with more than 50 units of affordable homes offered to accommodate all staff involved,” he told reporters at the Batu Kawan parliamentary level Chinese New Year Open House in Juru today. 

Yesterday, during a working visit to Penang, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that the federal government has agreed to expedite the Penang Airport expansion project.  

Anwar noted Penang’s success as a tourist destination but highlighted airport congestion issues, and said that he would receive a report on the project during the cabinet meeting on Wednesday. 

Commenting further, Chow said the state administration welcomed the federal government’s efforts to expedite the airport expansion project, especially considering the increasing number of tourists entering the state. 

“This project needs to be expedited as the tourism sector has recovered, with additional flights to Penang. 

“With the addition of flights, the situation becomes more urgent, and for this project to be completed, it will take at least three years. 

He said efforts to increase flights may be hindered if facilities at the airport were not sufficient. – February 17, 2024
