Penang state government to review all projects approved by previous leadership

BUTTERWORTH, SUN: 

THE Penang state government plans to review all projects approved by the previous leadership to ensure that they benefit the people and are free from discrepancies.

Chief minister Lim Guan Eng said the move was aimed at ensuring the projects would really benefit the people and were approved according to procedures.

"It is okay if the projects are to benefit the people but those which were approved just to enrich certain leaders would be reviewed," he said.

Lim however assured the people and Umno assemblymen that the state government would not simply scrap the approvals just because the previous state leadership approved them.
