Penang ferries to stay after all

Penang Port Sdn Bhd will be allocated RM30 million next year to run the ferry service.

KUALA LUMPUR: Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz says the government will ensure that Penang’s iconic ferries will remain in service.

He told the Dewan Rakyat today the RM30 million allocated by the Pakatan Harapan government for Penang Port Sdn Bhd to take over the ferry services will be channelled in two instalments next year.

“The government will ensure that Penang Port will be required to continue Penang’s iconic ferry service,” he said.

Lim Guan Eng (PH-Bagan) thanked Tengku Zafrul for the decision and urged the transport minister to implement it.
