I’m a student in California doing a paper on your building designs and I think they are amazing. Your ideas definitely represent the future. Keep up the oustanding work.

So Penang’s Chief Minister has sent PGCC back to the drawing board – has put down several new stipulations that mean that Patrick Lim and gang have to re-design. Or is it just an election gimmick? Will we see the same plan approved after the election? Hope not. The traffic implications are absolutely horrendous, and for those of you who know the racecourse, think of what it will mean to have 38 tower blocks (huge tower blocks) crammed in to such a small space. Then there’s the argument that Patrick Lim and his companies just want to sell of the land parcels and get out of there with loads of money in the bank – all because our dear Penang state government rezoned the land in 2002 at the expense of the Penang taxpayer without cost to Lim or anyone else. Result: land value of the racecourse went up by at least fivefold. So, many people think it is all just a money-grabbing scheme. Like so many other mega projects we know and love (?). The people always pay.

Shame on you Kris. Seems you only see everything vague on PGCC.

“Poor Penangites and Malaysians, completely deceived by Patrick Lim, architects and politicians. Press editors bought out, put on the board of Abad Naluri, high ranking K.L. politicians involved.”

That is very serious accusation. Any proof? Otherwise your accusation is nothing but as you said ‘no transparency’.

The towers in those 3D renderings may look good to some, but they have been rendered out of its true context. Right beside those buildings are development zones reserved for 38 high-rise towers, and those 38 towers will probably look like any other high-rise tower - tall, blocks that serve to worsen the existing excessive population density problem in Penang. A more accurate model can be seen here. The development proposals are also full of greenwashing and vague details. They propose flyovers and underpasses but do not state who is paying for them. Also, they advertise a "medical centre", but it's not even a clinic nor hospital. The STOP PGCC website has the full picture. The developers should be ashamed.
