A state assemblyman has taken the DAP-led state government to task over the allocation of a 2.4ha land in Balik Pulau, Penang, for the relocation of two schools.
Teluk Bahang assemblyman Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahya urged the state government to reveal the location of the land to replace the present land of the same size.
“The two schools, SMK St George and SK St George in Balik Pulau, are due to move by 2016 as the land that the schools are currently occupying belongs to Titular Roman Catholic Bishop of Penang,” said Dr Hilmi, a former student of the schools.
He added that the land was originally designated for the building of national schools but it was now used for the setting up of an international school instead.
“All we want is for Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to reveal the new location as he promised to replace the land for the century-old St George primary and secondary schools during the state assembly sitting in the middle of this year,” he claimed.
He was speaking after attend- ing the state action council mee-ting chaired by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop on Saturday.
The meeting, which would be the last one for the year, was held to discuss the progress of each ongoing project in the state as well as come up with solutions to problems faced in any of the projects.
