The actual cost for the feasibility studies for the three highways and an undersea tunnel to link Penang Island with Butterworth is RM51.269 million and not RM305 million as claimed by BN strategic director Abdul Rahman Dahlan.

“The real cost is a mere 0.93 percent of the total construction costs, which come to RM6.341 billion” Penang state executive councillor Lim Hock Seng said today.

The feasibility studies costs for the three highway projects is RM31.269 million and that for the undersea tunnel is RM20 million, Lim said.
