GEORGE TOWN: A group of residents in Lengkok Moulmein in Pulau Tikus plans to take legal action against the Moulmein Rise project.
The residents and their supporters displayed banners with the words “Mai Moulmein” (meaning no to Moulmein' in Hokkien) outside some of their homes.
The Moulmein Rise project comprises a 27-storey commercial luxury development in a residential area.
The group's legal adviser Rowena Yam said Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) president Datuk Patahiyah Ismail had failed to address their concerns.
“I urge the council and caretaker state government to respond to us within five days, failing which, a judicial review would be sought,” Yam, who is also Pulau Tikus Barisan Nasional coordinator, told a press conference here yesterday.
On March 22, Patahiyah said the project would go ahead as MPPP had conducted the necessary surveys before approving it.
“More than 50% of the land there has been used for commercial purposes which is why we allowed the high-rise commercial development.
“Claims that we have approved it as a SoHo (small office, home office) development and hence the developer need not comply with open space and affordable housing requirements is untrue,” she told a press conference then.
Yam claimed that she could not purchase a copy of the approved building plan (from the MPPP) because the billboard on the project site does not have the plan's approval number.
“In the name of competency, accountability and transparency (CAT), the information must be made public,” she added.
A resident C.A. Foo, who has lived in the area for 35 years, said the council was “bulldozing its way through our objections”. - The Star
