Main traffic lanes at Penang’s Mutiara Line LRT construction sites will not be closed throughout the festive season, state infrastructure, transport and digital committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari has said, according to a Bernama report.
He said the project owner and main contractor – respectively MRT Corp and SRS Consortium – assured that road disruptions would be minimised, including during the upcoming Chinese New Year celebrations.
“Any construction works will only be carried out at night and not during peak hours, while for major festive seasons, construction activities are usually stopped temporarily for a day or two, depending on the contractor’s planning,” Zairil said recently.
Regarding traffic management measures instructed by transport minister Anthony Loke, Zairil said the implementation of the plan, which was prepared by MRT Corp, is being constantly monitored and updated monthly in line with the construction phases.
First talked about in 2015, the 29.5-km Mutiara Line LRT will connect Penang’s island and mainland through 21 stations. Its main alignment plan covers the route from the Penang South Reclamation area to Penang Sentral and George Town’s Komtar Station.

penang should consider self governing, collecting and spending tax money within their own state, same goes to johor and borneo states, leave other racist states to rot on their own
from the river to the sea penang island will be free
Why is all public transport development going to Penang only? Is Anthony Loke minister of Penang only?
If yes, he should just resign as Transport Minister and go become minister in island!
do u mean there’s no public transport development outside of penang? is rapid kl a figment of your imagination? the transport minister is a federal minister & therefore transportation issues nationwide, including in penang, do come under his purview. u should study more about the country’s system of government, instead of making such a childish comment.
Want to know how much they generate tax income to federal when compared to fantasy states.
Go see what Penang contributes to the Federal Gov, better yet, normalize per capita.
Compare that to what it receives.
Compare that to other states not in East Malaysia.
Do that for the last 30 years.
You born last year ah? Or you don’t live in KV? Berlambak LRT/MRT/KTM/highway in Selangor/KL, now only gomen going to other states and you wanna bising? Itu bodoh simpan sikit.
Thats right, shameless minister, kick him out
Anthony Loke mentri transport of Penang kah? Why all the money & upgrades go to there, other states no need ke?
