Students visit PSI site to assess project for themselves

Two groups of university students and their lecturers visited the Penang South Island (PSI) project site to learn first-hand about land reclamation while evaluating its environmental and socioeconomic impact.

The first group consisted of students and lecturers from Universiti Teknologi Mara’s (UiTM) Architectural, Planning, and Surveying Faculty while the second group came from Universiti Sains Malaysia’s (USM) Industrial Technology School.

The students attended briefing sessions at Pusat Perkhidmatan Setempat Nelayan (PPSN) in Permatang Damar Laut.

They became acquainted with the PSI Ecology Offset Master Plan (PEOM), Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) and Pelitaku which is a community programme offering business opportunities to locals.
