According to him, the PIA expansion project will be implemented soon and it will be helpful in getting more tourists to visit Penang.The service connects Pangkalan Raja Tun Uda with Pangkalan Sultan Abdul Halim in Butterworth. He said apart from the ferry project and airport expansion, his ministry will also implement the light rail transit project in Penang, which may take a longer period to be realised.
