The alignment starts from Penang Sentral on the mainland before crossing the channel to Lebuh Macallum.

GEORGE TOWN: Penang has given two thumbs up to the announcement of the implementation of the Juru- Sungai Dua Elevated Highway project presented in the 2025 Budget by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today.
"The Prime Minister's announcement regarding this project is highly welcomed. We hope its implementation can be expedited due to its urgent necessity," said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
The RM1.8 billion Juru-Sungai Dua Elevated Highway was one of the key projects that Penang submitted to Putrajaya.
Additionally, he expressed appreciation for the announcement of a new Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) in the Seberang Prai area, which he said would enhance the quality of public services at UTC @ Komtar
Regarding the development agenda for wakaf land by federal agencies, Chow said that the state government supported UDA Holdings Berhad's initiatives, as they aligned with requests from various parties, including NGOs, to redevelop Malay settlements and increase property holdings, particularly on the island.
Furthermore, he said the budget had announced several other federal project implementations specifically for Penang, including the raw water supply project from the Perak River for water supply in northern Perak and Penang, the Penang Light Rail Transit (LRT), the expansion of Penang International Airport (PIA) and the Batu Kawan Industrial Park 3.
All these projects are expected to contribute significantly to the state's overall development. Therefore, I hope their implementation will be expedited and adhere to the proposed timelines," he said.
On the education front, Chow said Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) was pursuing AI semiconductors in line with Malaysia's status as a global semiconductor hub, enhancing collaborations with companies like Intel and Infineon.

The board have yet to. Deliberate dividend to be declared
Wait for higher incoming dividends in view of surging cash hoard to RM 289m now
1 month ago
It has been the company's practice, at least for the past 20 years, to declare an interim dividend in November.
With swelling cash and impending implementation of dividend tax, will the company pay more this time?
1 month ago
Current lower quarter result mainly due to
1. Deferred tax - RM 18.5m
2. Free 10m3 water for 6 month as special subsidy to domestic customer, erode PBA profit by -RM 11m
3. Domestic consumer reduce water usage due to water traffic hike. These temporary setback in domestic will be setoff with nondometic consumption through increasingly semiconductor manufacturing activities

Agreed. PBA cash flow is too attractive, accumulate nearly 86sen/share.
In additional, next year onward, PBA will start recover penang government repayments RM 88.6m on staggering basis begin 2025 will further boost up PBA cash hoard.
Hence maiden special dividend is imminent, following trend like kossan and MSC to declare special dividend ahead of next year dividend tax, which will benefit Penang gov the most as majority stake holder

Generally, utility stock like water or power are debt laden, but have positive cash flow generated from utilities business ike YTLP, tenaga, malakroff, RANHILL. Therefore, it is rather unusual for PBA to sit on massive cash hoard and trade below NTA.
Next year dividend tax is good opportunity for PBA to rectify their financial position to better reflect utilities business model and allow Penang government to enjoy better dividend payout ahead of next year dividend tax and commencment of repayment loan RM 88.6m to PBA

PBA's PE at 9 and below NTA. Vs Ranhill PE at 30 and trading two times of NTA.
Assuming same logic, PBA should be trading at RM6 right now. Severely undervalued. Looking at the massive cash pile and being a cash cow, expect better dividends and revaluation.

No worries la...that massive tax heavily affected pba's profit..its temporary only..

3Q24 PBT RM42.2m +45% yoy, revenue RM139.9m +22% yoy.
Deferred tax expense is a non-cash item.
9M24 Cash flow from operations before working capital changes RM159.4m +58% yoy
Overall performance is ok.
Budget announced next year 2% dividend tax. Pay much higher dividend upfront now will be good for everyone.
Next month is already December. Savvy long-term investors focus on future annual earnings, 2025 and beyond.

PBA regained some foothold and now roughly back to it's original price before announcement. This tells us that market conviction for the stock did not wane and they predict water consumption usage will definitely increase in the coming years, from domestic household and mainly from factories and businesses.

It seems many once again misinterpreted PBA’s deferred tax expense/liability.
To provide context, in 2018, PBA reported a loss after tax due to a significant RM137.60 million deferred tax liability. However, this was a non-cash flow item, as clarified in PBA’s 2018 Annual Report (page 13):
"Please note that the recognition of the deferred tax liability is a NON-CASH FLOW item. The ACTUAL tax that is payable by PBAHB to the IRB for FY2018 is only RM1.55 million, based on a PBT of RM36.14 million offset against other tax incentives."
The relationship between unabsorbed reinvestment allowance (RA) and deferred tax liability is further detailed on page 14 of AR2018.
This pattern is consistent. In FY2023, PBA reported a deferred tax expense of RM29.7 million, but its cash flow statement showed tax paid of only RM4.726 million.
Similarly, in 3QFY2024, PBA reported a deferred tax expense of RM18.3 million, with a cumulative total of RM17.0 million for 9MFY24.
Yet, the 9M24 cash flow statement indicates income tax paid of just RM5.581 million.
Focus should be on the actual income tax payable, as deferred tax expenses are non-cash accounting entries that do not affect the company’s operational cash flow. Misinterpreting these figures risks undervaluing PBA’s true financial performance.
