GEORGE TOWN: About 40 business premises and some residential homes along Jalan Bayan Lepas will soon have to make way for an overhead road project connecting Pekan Bayan Lepas to Teluk Kumbar.
State Works, Utilities and Transportation Committee chairman Lim Hock Seng said the RM207mil Federal project would also affect the Bayan Lepas police station and its quarters, the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) quarters and the Bayan Lepas community hall.

“The project is to upgrade the Federal road from Teluk Kumbar to the Penang International Airport. It’s expected to be completed in August next year,” he said.

The project consists of two overhead bridges – a four-lane, 750m elevated structure from Jalan Teluk Kumbar to the airport and also an elevated U-turn.

It will also see the 3km stretch of the one-lane road from Jalan Teluk Kumbar to Jalan Bayan Lepas upgraded to a two-lane road.

The project is one of four traffic dispersal projects designed to help ease traffic after the second Penang Bridge was opened in in March.

The other three projects are the upgrading of the Bayan Lepas Expressway (BLE) from the bridge exit, upgrading of the state road from Jalan Negeri in Batu Maung to Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah and building a bridge across the Batu Maung junction-cum-roundabout.

It was reported that the total cost of the four projects was RM825mil.

Ng Kok Lam, 52, who owns three bicycle shops on the row of shoplots, welcomed the project as it would reduce the congestion and attract more people to the town.

“But I’m not sure if I will continue to run the business somewhere else or call it a day,” he said.
Ng said he had received his compensation and would need to evict within 30 days.

MCA’s Bayan Lepas branch chairman Ong Hoy Chin, 63, who runs a tailor shop there, said the project was a timely move.

“The number of vehicles here has increased. It could help ease the traffic jam,” he said.
Fabric shop owner Mohamad Sithik Askar, 30, said his business would be affected by the project.
“We’ve been running this business for the past 70 years. Now I’ve to find another place,” he said.

QZ8501: Blogger China Ramal Kehilangan Pesawat AirAsia, Angkara Tangan Hitam

Hey guys,

This is a repost of the Malay version of the report of a Chinese guy who had posted on Reddit regarding the unseemly forecast of the attack on Air Asia planes by apparently a group just plainly known as the "black hand" . Who are these people? What kind of organizations are they? 

Here's a copy of the original article by online news portal - Malaysian Digest

.

KUALA LUMPUR: Seorang penulis blog atau 'blogger' misteri China mencetuskan kontroversi apabila dia sudah meramalkan satu pesawat AirAsia hilang iaitu 13 hari sebelum QZ8501 dilaporkan hilang, kelmarin.
Menerusi satu status yang mula menjadi 'viral' dalam kalangan pengguna media sosial, penulis blog tersebut muncul dengan memberi amaran kepada syarikat penerbangan bahawa sebuah lagi pesawat sedang menjadi sasaran oleh kumpulan yang digelar Tangan Hitam ('Black Hand').
Lebih mengejutkan, laporan portal berita antarabangsa Mail Online semalam melaporkan penulis blog itu mendakwa kumpulan Tangan Hitam itu turut bertanggungjawab terhadap dua insiden nahas pesawat milik penerbangan Malaysia, MAS iaitu MH370 dan MH17 sebelum ini.

Kehilangan pesawat AirAbus A320-200 yang membawa 162 orang penumpang dan anak kapal memasuki hari ketiga, hari ini.

Pesawat berkenaaan dalam perjalanan dari Surabaya ke Singpura dilaporkan hilang sejurus pesawat tersebut meminta menukar laluan berikutan cuaca teruk sebelum terputus hubungan dengan pusat kawalan trafik udara Jakarta pada 7.24 pagi waktu tempatan pada Ahad lalu.

Sejurus status tersebut menjadi ‘viral’, ia menimbulkan reaksi pelbagai daripada orang ramai khususnya pengguna laman sosial yang mempersoalkan ramalan yang dilakukan penulis blog itu.

Bagaimanapun, wujud dakwaan mengatakan bahawa status itu telah disunting semula selepas kehilangan pesawat itu sebelum tersebar di laman sosial.
Dalam pada itu, satu komen pada 15 Disember lalu yang diterjemah salah seorang pengguna forum Reddit menyatakan penulis blog berkenaan telah memberi amaran terhadap kejadian kehilangan pesawat terbabit.
"Tangan Hitam telah merampas dan menembak jatuh MH370 dan MH17. Ini sudah cukup untuk membunuh syarikat penerbangan keenam terbesar, Penerbangan Malaysia.

"Sekarang, Tangan Hitam menyasar untuk merosakkan AirAsia kerana ia juga milik Malaysia.

"Memandangkan betapa kuatnya Tangan Hitam itu, saya mencadangkan semua rakyat China supaya mengelak daripada menggunakan AirAsia, supaya anda tidak hilang seperti MH370." katanya.
