Are there hidden costs that the tax-payer will pay to subsidise the developer?
Massive and not even hidden. The road widening necessary in Green Lane, Air Itam Road, Scotland Road and elsewhere will be borne largely or completely by us taxpayers. The building of PORR, so necessary for PGCC, has already involved taxpayers in huge costs, and these will increase. Any subsidies to public transport servicing PGCC will be borne by us. And if there is to be a monorail project servicing PGCC, major costs for that will also be underwritten by us. . Bill for Penangites in direct costs alone – billions of ringgit.
