By BUSINESS TIMES

It is learnt that Ivory Properties had submitted the higher bid to develop an initial 24.8ha at Bayan Mutiara on Penang Island.

George Town: Ivory Properties Group Bhd is believed to have won the right to develop over 40ha of land at Bayan Mutiara on Penang Island.

Business Times has learnt that the decision to award the tender to Ivory was made during Penang Development Corporation's board meeting which ended late yesterday evening.

Ivory and SP Setia Bhd were in the race to develop the landbank, which was put out by the Penang state government via a request for proposal (RFP), for which the reserve price was reportedly set at RM200 per sq ft.

It is learnt that Ivory had submitted the higher bid to develop an initial 24.8ha, which is located south of the Penang Bridge. The cost of developing the land surpasses the RM1 billion mark.

The RFP comes with the potential to develop an additional 14ha, by way of a future reclamation after the development of the initial 24.8ha land.

The Bayan Mutiara tender is part of the state government's efforts to unlock the value of the land it owns in selected areas.

Ivory's success leaves SP Setia in the lurch, as currently, it is the only developer without any development projects along Penang's southern corridor where its rivals are present.

The rivals include Mah Sing Group Bhd, which is planning a mixed-development property project in Batu Maung. Ivory Properties is present via "The View Twin Towers" development in Batu Uban, while IJM Land Bhd had already embarked on its landmark waterfront development of "The Light", close to the Penang Bridge.

In January this year, the Penang state government announced that SP Setia – via subsidiary Eco Meridean Sdn Bhd – had won a RM300 million project to build and operate the Penang International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Relau on the island.

The project was reportedly meant to create a "Penang People's Park" that includes the country's first subterranean Penang International Convention and Exhibition Centre , a 2.8ha public park on the rooftop, a refurbished and upgraded Penang International Sports Arena, a refurbished and upgraded aquatic centre as well as a four-star hotel with retail outlets and a spacious parking lot.

JKR juga bersetuju membuka halangan besi dipersimpangan jalan Batu Uban 4 bagi memudahkan kenderaan masuk ke kawasan kampung terutamanya sekitar Dewan JKKK Batu Uban terutamanya lori sampah yang memungut dari tong sampah besar ML.Sebelum ini JKKK Batu Uban telah berjaya memohon supaya JKR membuka halangan besi yang menghalang jalan Batu Uban 5 berhadapan Kondominium Ivory Twin Tower pada awal tahun 2010.

That problematic car park at Penang Hill » anilnetto.com

Posted: 05 Sep 2011 08:12 PM PDT

Some background to the controversial car park at Penang Hill.

I think there were also some issues with the new car park built at Victoria Street in George Town. Seriously, though, we should not be wasting millions on car parks. That money would be better spent on public transport infrastructure especially with a global energy crisis looming.

Penang Hill ground station will lose its charm if the surrounding area is turned into a giant bazaar.

LAPORAN AWAL PROJEK TEMPAT LETAK KERETA BERTINGKAT DI STESEN BAWAH BUKIT BENDERA OLEH PENGURUS BESAR PDC KEPADA KETUA MENTERI PULAU PINANG DAN PENGERUSI PENANG DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION(PDC) LIM GUAN ENG PADA 6 SEPTEMBER 2011.

YAB LIM GUAN ENG TIDAK DIMINTA BERIKAN KELULUSAN KERANA PROJEK STESEN BAWAH BUKIT BENDERA(PENANG HILL) TELAHPUN DILULUSKAN LEBIH AWAL DI BAWAH KERAJAAN PERSEKUTUAN DAN NEGERI PADA 2007.

LATAR BELAKANG PROJEK

Projek di atas adalah merupakan projek untuk meningkatkan kemudahan di Stesen Bawah Bukit Bendera yang merangkumi penyediaan kemudahan tempat letak kereta bertingkat dan juga hentian bas pelancongan.

Kemudahan-kemudahan yang perlu disediakan di tapak adalah atas kehendak serta kelulusan Majlis Tindakan Pelancongan Negeri Pulau Pinang di bawah Kementerian Pelancongan. Peruntukan bagi projek ini diluluskan oleh Kementerian Pelancongan Malaysia di bawah RMK9. Jumlah siling peruntukan yang diluluskan adalah berjumlah RM5.0 juta.

Projek ini pada asalnya diserahkan kepada pihak JKR dan MPPP untuk dilaksanakan. Walau bagaimanapun, mesyuarat Post EXCO Pelancongan pada September 2007 di bawah kerajaan negeri dulu, telah meminta untuk PDC bertindak sebagai agensi pelaksana.

Itulah sebabnya kerajaan negeri PR yang baru dan YAB Ketua Menteri tidak dimaklumkan tentang kemajuan atau diminta memberikan kelulusan untuk projek ini kerana "pelanggan" adalah Kementerian Pelancongan.

PDC telah melantik PDC Consultancy Sdn Bhd bagi penyediaan rekabentuk dan pelaksanaan projek. Di dalam merekebentuk, sejumlah 6 hentian bas dan 112 tempat letak kereta dapat disediakan di atas lot yang seluas 0.62 ekar.

Pelan merancang telah diluluskan pada 21 Mei 2009. Pihak PDC telah memohon untuk mendapatkan kebenaran khas untuk memulakan lewat pembinaan dan telah memperolehinya pada 3 September 2009.

Satu tender terbuka telah dipanggil pada 23 Mac 2009 dan Lembaga Perolehan Persekutuan peringkat negeri Pulau Pinang pada 24 Jun 2009 telah meluluskan projek ini ditawarkan kepada DTE Construction Sdn Bhd pada harga RM3,958,988.26 dengan tempoh binaan selama 14 bulan.

Tarikh memulakan kerja adalah pada 10 Ogos 2009 dan tarikh siap pada 9 Oktober 2010, walaupun tarikh siap sebenar adalah pada 30 Mac 2011.

Dalam proses pembinaan, pihak konsultan telah membuat beberapa perubahan ke atas rekabentuk akibat dari masalah tapak yang telah menjadi lebih kecil akibat 'encroachment' rumah berdekatan. PDC terpaksa berbuat demikian supaya tidak mengganggu penduduk tempatan dan menambilkira permintaan pihak Kementerian agar memperuntukkan 6 hentian bas. Justeru itu, pelan pindaan kepada pelan bangunan yang diluluskan dikemukakan pada 12 November 2010 dan ianya masih belum diluluskan.
Pihak PDC sebagai agensi yang bertanggungjawab ke atas projek tempat letak kereta bertingkat Bukit Bendera tidak akan berkompromi dari aspek keselamatan pengguna. Justeru itu atas dakwaan bahawa bangunan yang dibina tidak selamat, satu badan penyiasatan bebas iaitu pihak IKRAM dengan kepakaran geoteknikal telah dilantik untuk menyiasat secara menyeluruh keadaan struktur yang dibina. Kerja-kerja penyiasatan telah mengambil masa selama 30 hari dan pada 24 Ogos 2011, satu laporan lengkap telah dikemukakan kepada PDC.

Hasil daripada penyiasatan IKRAM telah mengenalpasti beberapa perkara struktur bangunan yang perlu dipantau dan sekiranya perlu diambil langkah memperbaiki. Langkah yang akan diambil adalah:

(i) IKRAM akan memasang 'settlement markers' pada 22 bilangan tiang dan akan memantau 'settlements' secara berkala setiap tiga (3) bulan untuk tempoh tiga (3) tahun. Dalam tempoh ini, bangunan dapat beroperasi sepenuhnya. Sekiranya hasil pemantauan 'settlements' adalah baik, maka langkah mengukuhkan asas bangunan dapat dikurangkan atau tidak diperlukan sama sekali.

(ii) Sekiranya hasil pemantauan 'settlements' menunjukkan terdapat bacaan yang tidak memberangsangkan, langkah seterusnya adalah berkemungkinan memberhentikan operasi bangunan sementara waktu dan melaksanakan 'foundation underpinning' yang dianggarkan berjumlah RM1.5 juta dan mengambil masa enam (6) bulan dan juga membuat pembaikan terhadap sebarang kerosakan pada bangunan.

Dalam menangani isu rekabentuk yang tidak memenuhi kehendak piawaian serta mutu rekabentuk yang rendah, pihak PDC akui terdapat kelemahan di dalam rekabentuk yang tidak seharusnya berlaku. Dan ini akan menjejaskan keselesaaan pengguna. Pihak PDC telah sebaik mungkin memperbaiki kelemahan rekabentuk khususnya mengurangkan kecuraman 'ramp' agar lebih landai dan boleh digunakan oleh semua jenis kenderaan.

Beberapa pemeriksaan tapak bersama pihak MPPP telah dilakukan dan tindakan untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini masih diusahakan. Pemeriksaan terakhir adalah pada hari ini (5 September 2011) bersama MPPP di mana beberapa cadangan penambahbaikan akan dilakukan. Kerja-kerja ini akan terus ditingkatkan sehingga pihak MPPP berpuashati untuk membenarkan OC dikeluarkan.

Kami akur dengan arahan YAB Lim Guan Eng bahawa PDC mestilah patuhi arahan yang dikeluarkan oleh MPPP dan tidak akan dapat sebarang layanan khas hanya kerana PDC adalah agensi kerajaan negeri ataupun projek ini adalah projek Kementerian Pelancongan. Atas arahan YAB Lim, kami telah adakan lawatan bersama dengan Setiausaha MPPP Ang Aing Thye pada semalam 5 September 2011. Hasil perbincangan diharap dapat dihantarkan suatu laporan muktamad kepada YAB dalam seminggu dua lagi.

Masalah-masalah yang berlaku ke atas projek ini telah menjejaskan tarikh pembukaan tempat letak kereta Bukit Bendera yang amat diperlukan. PDC ingin memohon maaf atas segala kesulitan yang timbul dan akan secepat mungkin menyelesaikan masalah ini, namun aspek keselamatan dan keselesaan pengguna akan tetap diutamakan.

Dato Rosli Jaafar
Pengurus Besar PDC

If you remembered the beautiful chill out place formerly call Sunset Bistro up at Bayu Senja, Batu Ferringhi area which was burnt down due to the so-called arson attack in late January 2011, you would surely not miss out the reincarnation of such cool bistro which now carries the name of Bora Bora By Sunset. A brainchild of Ms. Melynda Soon, the bistro was opened towards the end of May this year at a new location. It's located just a shop lot away just before the Tarbush Lebanese Restaurant, hidden right behind some night market stalls along the famous Batu Ferringhi stretch. It has a better ambiance compared to the former with more cozy and dimly lighted corners for romantic couples. The bistro covers a long stretch of cemented pathways up to the edge of the beach, with an ejected wooden platform in between, to watch the beautiful sunset over the horizon of the Andaman Sea. Comfortable and uncomplicated, this snazzy bistro is actually a reminiscent of those smaller water holes by the beaches of some South East Asian countries. With an open rainforest concept, you are assured of cheap beers, reasonable priced beverages and a decent spread of cuisine, done in the simplest way to tempt any taste bud.

Hard Rock Hotel PenangHard Rock Hotel Penang is the ultimate destination during our short trip to Penang. Hard Rock Hotel is an expansion of Hard Rock Cafe bar-restaurant chain. Currently, Hard Rock Hotel Penang, which opened its doors on September 19, 2011, is the only Hard Rock Hotel in Malaysia.

As Hard Rock Cafe is known for its collection of rock and roll memorabilia, Hard Rock Hotel Penang does not fall short of that as it is filled with rock and roll memorabilia all over its premises.

Seaview Deluxe

We stayed in a Seaview Deluxe under "Anything You Want (You Got It!)" package. And because we booked the room in advance, we paid MYR 570 only (not including tax) as we got 43% off the rack rates! The package included breakfast for 2 persons at Starz Diner, MYR 100 voucher redeemable at Hard Rock Cafe, Pizzeria, Starz Diner, The Shack, Lobby Lounge, Rock Shop and Rock Spa.

Below is the break down of our stay: -

Body Rock Gym is a well-equipped gym with state-of-the-art equipment and stunning poolside view. It would be awesome to do workout in the gym. However, our intention in Hard Rock Hotel Penang was just to relax, therefore, we didn't allocate any time at all for the gym.

Rock Spa is the place to be for services such as massages, body scrubs, body wraps, facials, manicure & pedicure and even hair removal.

Enjoy the sea view while getting pampered in the spa bungalow or in the beautifully decorated outdoor cabanas facing the sea.

Rock Spa was the only other place besides the Teens Club which we didn't have the opportunity to have a go at because we were busy looking after our toddler, who seemed to fully enjoy herself more than we did.

Other Water Sports Activities

There are other water sports activities available outside Hard Rock Hotel Penang premise run by a 3rd party operator such as jetskiing and paragliding. Pony ride and ATV are also available.

It is a sad day when a child has to suffer, especially when she is supposed to be enjoying herself on one of Malaysia's most popular beaches. But that is exactly what happened to Arina Kirana Azrin, 5, when she was knocked down by a horse ridden by a man on the beach. It is very fortunate that she suffered a dislocated left shoulder and not lost her life.

Unregulated beach activities at Batu Ferringhi have led to several nasty accidents recently

The man who rode the horse? He did not bother to stop and just tried to get away from enforcement officers who were at the beach at that time. No word in news reports whether the man was apprehended but the incident highlights a very, very, very old issue about Batu Ferringhi. Water sports and beach activities have been a bone of contention between operators and authorities, with no resolution in sight. Consequently, there is still no real enforcement, even though there is supposed to be a ban on some activities, especially after a horrific accident involving a Chinese tourist in February earlier this year.

It really does seem that those involved in the tourism sector in Penang have not learnt from the past. It makes us wonder how many more innocent people have to suffer, and what exactly will it take to actually see this situation finally resolved.

Do you think that it will take a death on the beach of Batu Ferringhi to finally fix this problem? Tell us what YOU think.

Gerakan has urged the DAP-led Penang government to enforce laws on sporting activities at the popular beach of Batu Ferringhi.

Local government bureau chairman Teh Leong Meng said serious attention must be given to public safety along the beach as it could affect the tourism industry.

"We have laws but they will not work if there is no strict enforcement and proper control," he said in a statement to Bernama here Wednesday.

On Wednesday, Arina Kirana Azrin, 5, dislocated her left shoulder after she was knocked down by a horse ridden by a man on the beach.

Teh said horse-riding and watersports were banned in Feb after Chinese tourist Zhu Li, 47, suffered broken legs after being hit by a flying jetski.

Penang Municipal Council had since issued guidelines to watersports operators including asking them to undergo first aid training and provide general insurance worth RM50,000.
