No approval on Tioman airport yet

PARLIAMENT | It will be at least another year before Putrajaya can decide on whether to approve the construction of the Tioman airport, which activists have warned would have a disastrous ecological impact.

Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong (BN-Ayer Hitam) said that apart from approvals from various government agencies, Putrajaya also had to consider the viability of the proposed Tioman airport under the National Airports Strategic Plan (NASP).
