Kampung Manis redevelopment set to transform community living
The Kampung Manis redevelopment project is set to reach a critical milestone with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) scheduled for November 11, formalizing collaboration between the Railway Asset Corporation (RAC) and the Penang Housing Board (LPNPP). This agreement will solidify efforts to revitalize the Kampung Manis area, addressing long-standing issues for residents and marking a step forward in Penang’s urban renewal initiatives.
The redevelopment project, announced by Penang Housing and Environment Committee chairman Datuk Seri Sundarajoo Somu, signifies a concerted effort to improve living conditions for the Kampung Manis community, as part of a larger revitalization plan within the Perai constituency. At the same event, a Head of Agreement (HoA) will also be signed between RAC and Rivanis Ventures Sdn Bhd to further support the redevelopment agenda. Sundarajoo highlighted that this project showcases the state government’s commitment to resolving ongoing challenges faced by local residents.
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow affirmed that the redevelopment would preserve the community’s continuity, ensuring that original residents are not displaced. Once completed, the area will feature improved housing and essential facilities, enhancing quality of life for Kampung Manis residents. Chow also underscored Penang’s ambition for urban progress, pointing to future projects like the Kampung Main Road redevelopment. This collective effort, involving collaboration from the Federal Government, local communities, and private sector, reflects a unified vision for Penang’s sustainable growth.
