Chief minister Chow Kon Yeow said the listed projects included the Pan Island Link project, road upgrading projects, pipe installations, school construction and the development of Penang Fisherman’s Town.
“I hope these applications will be given due attention by the prime minister to ensure the smooth development of Penang as a whole,” he said at a breaking of fast event at Masjid Abu Ubaidah Al-Jarrah Mosque in Bandar Tasek Mutiara today.
The event was attended by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, education minister Fadhlina Sidek, and chief secretary to the government Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar.
Chow said he had sent Anwar a letter regarding Penang’s efforts to set up the Penang International Financial Centre and strengthen the financial sector in the northern region.
He also said Penang was ready to nurture more highly skilled talent through the science, technology, engineering and mathematics talent action plan.
