ALOR SETAR 19 Jan. – Kerajaan negeri tetap meneruskan Projek Hab Hidrokarbon Sungai Limau (Sulihh) walaupun ia belum mendapat kelulusan Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS) disebabkan tidak menepati laporan Impak Alam Sekitar (EIA).
Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak berkata, projek tersebut akan berjalan seperti biasa sebaik mendapat ‘lampu hijau’ daripada pihak berkenaan yang dijangka dalam masa dua atau tiga bulan lagi.
EIA tidak halang projek SULIHH: Azizan
ALOR SETAR: Projek penapisan minyak Sungai Limau Hidro Karbon Hub (SULIHH) bernilai RM36 bilion (AS$10 bilion) akan tetap dilaksanakan seperti dirancang selepas mendapat kelulusan laporan penilaian kesan alam sekitar (EIA), kata Menteri Besar Kedah, Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak.
Upacara pecah tanah projek itu telah beberapa kali tertangguh dipercayai akibat Jabatan Alam Sekitar menolak laporan EIA yang dikemukakan oleh pelabur kerana tidak lengkap.

With a market driven and private sector led growth strategy, Kedah has attained a sound macro-economic environment with a sustained GDP growth, increased FDI inflow, robust growth of industrial production, especially in hi-tech, bio-tech and manufacturing.
