Work on Air Itam market on schedule
PHASE Three of the RM1mil facelift for the Air Itam market in Penang is scheduled to begin next month.
Air Itam assemblyman Wong Hon Wai said this phase involved the upgrading of six stalls for poultry.
“In the first two phases which ended last month, 20 sundry goods stalls, 25 fish stalls, 18 tofu stalls and 12 stalls from the pork section have already been given a facelift,” he told reporters at the market.

He added that the upgrading included improvements on the lighting and drainage systems, and new tiles on the walls.
“The new stalls are equipped with roller shutters and their own water supply,” he said, adding that the fourth and final phase would be the upgrading of the vegetable stalls.
“This market was built before World War II and minor upgrades were carried out over the years. The entire facelift project is expected to be completed by the end of this year,” he said.
He said the new public toilets at the market were expected to be completed next month.
It was reported in January last year that the Air Itam market was among five markets earmarked for upgrading works under the Penang Municipal Council’s 2010 budget.
The other markets in the upgrading programme are those in Cecil Street, Jelutong, Batu Maung and Pulau Tikus.
Wong also said that the RM27,000 resurfacing works on two roads in Air Itam — the road leading to Kampung Pisang and another road in Happy Valley (Taman Lembah Ria) — were completed two weeks ago.
On another matter, Wong urged the Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry to get to the root cause of the rising price of fish instead of issuing notices to traders who had increased the price.
It was reported on Friday that three fishmongers accused of profiteering had each been served with a notice by the state Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism enforcement division, under the newly-implemented Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011.

（檳城）亞依淡巴剎提昇工程如火如荼進行中，續上個月完成第一期提昇工程，第二期提昇工程也在日前完工，而第二期提昇工程完成後，豆腐商販也在嶄新的環境下開始營業了！
亞依淡區州議員黃漢偉昨日（6月17日）到亞依淡巴剎巡視察完工的第2A期提昇工程，並為每個攤格都有水龍頭和磚墻感到滿意。
他說，亞依淡巴剎的2A期提昇是涵蓋豆腐攤格，而工程在5月16日至6月15日期間施工，並在一個月內完成18個攤格。在施工期間，豆腐小販暫和其他小販共用地方，繼續尋求生計。
他說，亞依淡巴剎的廁所也獲得提昇，舊有的廁所已被拆掉，而新廁所預計在下個月完工；期間，檳島市政局也在停車場處設立了流動廁所，方便公眾使用。
第三及四期工程料7月動工
他表示，豬肉攤格、雞肉攤格和蔬菜攤格將會在第三和第四期的提昇工程中展開，預計7月動工，年底之前可以完工。他預計提昇工程耗資87萬令吉。
黃漢偉：數百戶居民受惠
甘榜比桑路重鋪方便出入
黃漢偉也表示，他在今年5月份撥出1萬5千令吉為甘榜比桑的主要出入口甘榜比桑路重新鋪路，這150公尺的路段以於2周前完工，讓數百戶居民可以更方便出入。
他補充，他也為安樂村重鋪上100公尺的路段，約1萬2千令吉。
黃漢偉也在甘榜比桑路掛上布條向居民宣佈路段重鋪的消息，之後，他也接獲居民反映，指甘榜比桑仍有一處的路段殘舊不堪，因此他也答應會在近期內撥款鋪路。
“大家對鋪路有刻版印象，認為只有在大選季節才鋪路，但是我們平時也有鋪路，並非只是為了大選。”（星洲日報／大北馬）
