The Penang government will cancel the Jelutong landfill reclamation project if the company fails to obtain Environmental Impact Assessment approval by a final deadline. The company has already received five extensions to meet Department of Environment requirements. Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow stated that no further extensions will be granted if the deadline is missed. The RM1 billion project involves rehabilitating the former landfill and reclaiming adjacent coastal land. The state will consider alternative options if the current developer cannot fulfill the conditions.
