Many have lamented about the lack of affordable homes. “Super condos’, such as those with 6,000 sq ft to 11,000 sq ft floor area, are not within reach of most Penang folk. Taking heed of this situation and the people’s demand for af- fordable homes, the Penang Is- land Municipal Council (MPPP) has come out with guidelines to shift the focus from “super con- dos” to more affordable homes. On Nov 25, exco member for local government and traffic management Chow Kon Yeow called a press conference to pro- vide a clearer explanation on the “Guideline for Development for Chow showing the Penang island map with density ratio markings to members of the media.

  • 7 Newbies, 4 Casualties in Penang DAP List Malaysiakini.Com April 19, 2013 by Susan Loone
    7 newbies, 4 casualties in Penang DAP list MalaysiaKini.com April 19, 2013 By Susan Loone Penang DAP's candidacy list, announced at 1pm, shows most of the incumbents being retained, with seven new faces and four casualties. Three out of its seven parliamentary candidates are new, one has been reassigned from a state seat, while four out of 19 state seats have been assigned to newcomers. In the line-up are 10 DAP Socialist Youth members and five women candidates. National chairperson Karpal Singh's ‘one candidate one seat’ policy is seen coming into effect as two incumbents holding both parliamentary and state seats have been assigned to only one. They are deputy secretary-general P Ramasamy (Batu Kawan) and state chief Chow Kon Yeow (Tanjong). Both are dropping their parliamentary seats to fight for only the Perai and Padang Kota state seats respectively. Secretary-general Lim Guan Eng is the only exception to the rule, and will defend his Bagan parliamentary and Air Putih state seats. Others who have retained their parliamentary seats are Karpal (Gelugor) and Jeff Ooi (Jelutong). 'Parachute candidate' annoys One of the new faces at the parliamentary level is Lim's political secretary Zairil Khir Johari (below) in Bukit Bendera replacing incumbent Liew Chin Tong, who is contesting a seat in Kluang, Johor. Others include Penang municipal councillor Steven Sim in Bukit Mertajam replacing incumbent Chong Eng, who is to be fielded in the Padang Lalang state seat. Kasturi Rani, daughter of DAP veteran P Patto, is said to be the candidate for the Batu Kawan seat in the mainland.
