Pulau Jerejak world class development approved
Majilis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang (MBPP) has allowed the developer of buildings at Pulau Jerejak to demolish the buildings, paving the way for redevelopment of the island, reported The Star.
The developer Tropical Island Sdn Bhd has been given planning permission with conditions – namely to not encroach on the island’s forest reserve – to undertake the project, said mayor Yew Tung Seang.
“It’s still in early stages as there are number of conditions attached which would need to be carried out after the demolition of the structures are completed,” he said.
According to the initial plan, this development will see the demolition of existing hotel buildings for the construction of luxury hotels and residences in multiple phases:
- Phase 1: 10-storey hotel with 350 rooms and a 4-storey clubhouse
- Phase 3: Three blocks of 10-storey serviced residence with shop offices
- Phase 4: Two blocks of 10-storey condominium and 4-storey villa
- Phase 5: 10-storey serviced residence
It was previously reported that there were plans to permanently gazette hundreds of acres on the island into a forest reserve, but those plans have not materialized yet.
any landed property development there ?
@goh
Should build many more landed houses to create a feel-good resort/recreation living there with such greenery. Strictly NO pollution !
Please build theme park
Disney Land?
Don’t be a follower, theme park is already outdated lah.
Not for china man
Pls do not built any apartments and houses there. Just develop the place to Theme park, restaurant and pubs. Maybe with small casino. The island itself should be only for entertainment. Only hotels should be there. Make it duty free island for booze.
Agree. Sentosa in Singapore is a good idea apply to Jerejak
@Kathik,Sentosa
Don’t just think theme park, restaurants, pubs, SMALL casino, sentosa. They sound really lame. You’ve got to think bigger.
Please build a casino
Untapped paradise like phi phi island
I vote for casino
How about zombie thempark? That island has leprosy so zombie can match the theme
May propose build Disneyland or Ocean Park..
Pls build something special like Orphanage, disabilty center, nursing home, prison there haha, chicken farm, pig farm, zoo better
Tree houses since this is a property forum
Cable car or round Pulau Jerejak floating LRT
@Waste money has prison at jerejak long ago. we need casino
Semtosa for singapore and jerejak for penang. Building a team park is a good idea. But looking in the asia reagent we already habe disneyland, universal. But Marvel team park dont have. Why dont Malaysia be the 1st to have Marvel theme park… Will be a good touris attraction to boom our economic back… Just idea….
Yes, Jerjak Integrated Resort, with casino-gaming.
Tender it out for RM billions to International Resort groups.
A sure Great Success!
Only for foreign investments with local JV partner and World-class design competition to surpass Sentosa and Macao.
Need an auspicious name fir this resort
Vision and Mission of Jerjak IR project for the future of Penang, to bring Penang status to much higher level in the international platform.
DO NOT end up having a mediocre development with mundane planning and design, if only restricted to local developers.
Jerjak Island is our last jewel of Penang to be well developed to enhance main Penang island!
Personally agreed the comment about having casino in Penang.
This is one of the efficient way to push Pg eco to another lvl height.
But may have ppls disagree too, due to some are think that gambling shouldnt be encourage.
Anyway, everything have its pros and cons.
a world class resort will help penang island bring in more tourists
MPPP to hold public exhibition of Master Planning for Jerjak Island development.
Let all Penangites judge and input, if we are heading for the right direction of Grand World-Class Vision.
NOT repeating another version of “Glugor”, “Balik Pulau” or …? hotel + clubhouse + serviced residence + shop offices + condominium + villa …
@Jerjak Island Master Planning for public exhibition
yes.. same old planning seems doesn’t work. lets wait and see what Pg gov will do. It is only excitement now
go go Penang !
Please no such thing as theme park or what park. We hv it in Tjg Bunggha and Penang hill enough. It is waste or money and maintenance is high. Please have some shaded beach area with nice seetinge for us to enjoy the scenery of sea and sun. That’s enogh!
Hahaha…..you loosers! Want cable cars, want sea tunnel, want LRT, want this, want that, caaaan. Maybe PG state gov will soon setup a fund for penang people to donate to, namely Tabung Harapan Pinang, to raise money to do all the mega projects in PG. Hahahaha…..IDIOTS!!!!!!
The holy NGOs will have sleepless nights…..LOL
Leave the island alone!, Let it become a wild life refuge and a well cared for natural heritage. if you have to build, build walkways all around the island and hiking trails, the island is home to many exotic species not found on the Penang Island anymore. Building hotels, casinos and such luxurious condos only cater to the few and the amount of waste that would have to be dealt with will destroy the pristine island eco system and the sea around it.
@Shamsul Bahari
Totally agree on it. Penang dont have to be well known for that lame construction of casino. That’s such a disgusting idea.. Upgrade to to natural heritage and let all come forward to learn. We have enough luxury condos that’s flooding the island. Be like a civilised society where humane projects should be uphold.
Penang has to cater for tourism like everyone likes Bangkok
