The feasibility study on the Penang undersea tunnel has been stopped on orders from the state government, said Consortium Zenith BUCG (CZBUCG) chairperson Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli.

“We were told to stop for now. We have done about 83 percent of the work for the feasibility study (on the undersea tunnel)… by the Penang state government,” he said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

He added that the company received the instructions to stop the feasibility study last month and that it was not given a reason.
