Projek RM8b Guan Eng; PKR PP Tidak Dimaklum?

With a second bridge connecting Penang Island expected to be completed  later this year, the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government has told Penang folk to vote it back to power if they want a tunnel link to the mainland  under an ambitious RM8 billion traffic solution.

The project was first proposed in 2011 and now Chief Minister Lim  Guan Eng has confirmed the contract will be finalised if PR wins  Election 2013.

“We will let the people of Penang decide whether they want this  project or not,” he said, referring to the polls which must be called by June 27.

Refusing to label the project as an “election promise”, Lim said this was the reason why the state government had immediately announced the  awarding of the project to a contractor – to show its seriousness in  going ahead with it.

The tunnel will connect Gurney Drive on the island to Seberang Perai, providing another link between the island and the mainland.

The project also includes three highways — a bypass connecting Gurney Drive to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, a link between Bandar Baru Air Itam to the same expressway and a paired road to the existing road  connecting Tanjung Bungah to Teluk Bahang.

This ambitious infrastructure project will be fully funded by the contractor in exchange for reclaimed land, according to Lim.

Sudah timbul isu dalaman di Penang, bahawa PKR (termasuk Mansor, dan juga Anwar) tidak dimaklumkan mengenai projek berbilion ringgit ini. Sewaktu Mansor memaklumkan kepada Anwar, syarikat yang akan diberikan projek besar tersebut adalah BEIJING URBAN CONSTRUCTION GROUP (BUCG). Mansor maklumkan bahawa, dia hanya tahu MoU sudah hampir difinalizekan dalam masa terdekat ini.
Anwar mahu juga tahu, berapa jumlah DANA POLITIK yang dapat dikumpulan daripada projek ini? Bila tarikh mula? Siapa local JV partner? Soalan-soalan ini memerlukan jawapan yang pasti dari Guan Eng. Bukan setakat serkap jarang dan main agak-agak. Anwar beri contoh projek penswastaan Lembah Sireh yang memberikan pulangan ratusan juta kepada Kerajaan Negeri dan tabung politik. Yang ini berapa pula?
Masalah dengan Guan Eng, semuanya nak susun secara rahsia dan senyap-senyap. MoU dengan BUCG pun Mansor dapat daripada kakitangan bawahan. Bukannya dalam mesyuarat Exco yang biasa. Apa permainan Guan Eng nak main ni?
BUCG Malaysia beralamat di Tingkat 17, Pavilion Tower. Staff tak ramai pun. Tapi katanya mempunyai dana yang sangat besar.
BUCG have constructed many national and provincial key projects, such as the National Stadium, the National Theater for the Performing Arts, the National Museum, the National Indoor Stadium, the Olympic Basketball  Stadium, the Olympic Village, Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital  International Airport, Yintai Center etc, and also big metro and  expressway projects for many cities both domestic and overseas, winning  China’s highest Luban Prize of Construction Industry, China Quality  Engineering Prize and China’s Highest Technology and Innovation  Zhantianyou Prize for 65 times.
Soalan utama, berapa persen masuk ke poket parti DAP???
