PENANG: The Penang state government on Wednesday said it has issued a stop-work order effective Friday to MMC-Gamuda Joint Venture Sdn Bhd following the company’s failure to submit a layout plan for the 63km of track in Penang of its Ipoh-Padang Besar electrified railway double track project.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said that if the company failed to abide by the Dec 26 stop-work order, action could be taken against it under the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974. The penalty under the act was a maximum fine of RM50,000 or a five-year jail term or both, and for subsequent offences the fine could be RM500 per day, he said.
