The Juru-Sungai Dua Elevated Highway project has entered its preliminary phase, with study and design works currently in progress. Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow announced that the executing agency has already begun the year-long process, though the public may not yet observe physical activities on-site.

“This phase involves detailed planning and consultation. The absence of visible construction activities, such as bulldozers, often leads to misconceptions about project progress,” Chow explained during a press briefing following the swearing-in of Seberang Prai City Council (MBSP) councillors on Friday.

The project, estimated to cost RM2.7 billion, was highlighted as a priority for Penang in the 2025 Budget, with funding allocated this year. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had announced its implementation during the budget tabling, cementing its significance in addressing traffic congestion in the area.

Construction of the elevated highway is expected to begin after the study and design phase concludes, with completion targeted for 2029. The project will span the North-South Expressway and may involve PlusMalaysia Berhad.

Chow emphasised that large-scale infrastructure projects like the Juru-Sungai Dua Elevated Highway and the Perak Water Supply Project are critical for the state’s long-term development. “These initiatives take years to plan and execute but are essential for the people’s benefit,” he said.

The elevated highway is set to improve traffic flow and serve as a crucial component of Penang’s infrastructure development. As progress continues, further announcements from the Works Ministry are anticipated.

The Penang Turf Club (PTC) has announced that it will explore alternative methods to unlock the value of its properties after a recent open tender exercise failed to yield any qualified bids.

The tender, initiated as part of a mandate from the Club’s ordinary members during an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on June 10, aimed to solicit offers for a range of properties. These included bungalows, a retirement resort, bungalow lots, and hill land surrounding the racetrack. The tender exercise, which closed on December 30, was conducted as part of the proposed dissolution of the Club.

Despite receiving submissions, the Club’s tender committee determined that none of the tenders met the necessary qualifications. In a press release signed by PTC general manager and secretary Leow Khin Ming, the Club confirmed its intention to pursue alternative avenues to realise the value of its properties.

The decision to dissolve the Penang Turf Club was supported by its members during the June EGM. However, the Club’s rules require a second special general meeting to confirm the dissolution resolutions. If confirmed, the dissolution process is expected to take one to two years, allowing ample time for an orderly execution of the plan.

While the tender exercise did not meet its objectives, the Club remains committed to fulfilling its members’ mandate and will continue exploring viable options to maximise the value of its assets.
