Open tender to rebuild ‘Kancil car park’
Wednesday, 04 January 2012 10:23
An open tender exercise will be announced next week through advertisements to appoint a contractor to rebuild the controversial ‘Kancil car park’ at the foot of Penang Hill.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said that he was informed during a briefing by Penang Deve- lopment Corporation (PDC) officials that the open tender period was expected to be from Jan 13 to Feb 19.
“The contractor, chosen by the state government, will oversee this project which is handled by PDC,” he told a press conference in Komtar yesterday.
Early last month, Lim, also PDC chairman, announced that the controversial car park would be demo-lished, redesigned and reconstructed at a cost ranging from RM5.5mil to RM6.75mil.
On Dec 3, he said the state government decided to adopt the “preferred” recommendation of its inquiry board, headed by Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman’s Prof Omar Munir, to demolish the existing structure and build a new 300-bay car park.
The car park has drawn criticism for having steep ramps, low ceilings and parking bays said to be suitable only for Perodua Kancil cars.
