PGCC forum in Penang

Several leading NGOs in Penang are organising a second Forum on the Penang Global City Centre (PGCC) project that is due to take place on the grounds presently occupied by the Penang Turf Club in Scotland Road.

The tentative date for the Forum is 23 Nov 2007 (Friday) at 8pm, and it will be at the Dewan Sri Pinang Rooms A, B and C. The Forum will focus on the analysis of the traffic and environmental impact of the PGCC project and an overview of merits of PGCC in Penang's priorities and needs.

The PGCC Campaign Group comprises the Consumers Association of Penang, Sahabat Alam Malaysia, Aliran, Penang Heritage Trust, Citizens for Public Transport, Malaysian Nature Society, Tanjung Bungah Residents Association, Suara Rakyat Malaysia, Badan Warisan Malaysia, Jesselton Heights Residents Association and Friends of Botanic Gardens.

Whether or not you agree with the PGCC, it will be educational to attend this Forum and hear the alternative news which you will never get from the developers, State government or the mainstream press.

I have my own thoughts on this project which you can read here.

I will be there. It's never a chance for us to act civilize as compared to this forum.
