Penang Gerakan Youth stage sit-in outside state assembly

20 members urge assemblymen to support motion calling for halt to hillside development projects.

GEORGE TOWN: About 20 members of Penang Gerakan Youth today sat cross-legged for 30 minutes in front of the Penang state assembly in their bid to get all the state assemblymen to support a motion asking the state government to stop all hillside development projects.

Penang Gerakan Youth acting chief Jason Loo said they urged all assemblymen to support the motion to be tabled by Pulau Betong assemblyman Muhamad Farid Saad.

“We want every assemblyman to support the motion.

“We all know that the landslide at the construction site of an affordable housing project in Lengkok Lembah Permai, Tanjung Bungah, on Oct 21, claimed the lives of 11 people.

“We have to avert similar tragedies,” he told reporters outside the assembly building.

The Gerakan Youth members also held up a banner with the words “Mohon Adun Pulau Pinang Mewariskan Alam Semula Jadi Kepada Generasi Akan Datang” (“Request Penang assemblymen to bequeath nature to the next generation”).

One Malaysian, five Bangladeshis, two Indonesians, two Myanmars and a Pakistani were buried alive in the Oct 21 landslide.
