The Pri­vate Sec­tor Com­mis­sion and the George­town Cham­ber of Com­merce and In­dus­try have both wel­comed the Gov­ern­ment’s “Project Res­cue George­town”, which aims to clean up, beau­ti­fy and re­turn George­town to its past glo­ry of be­ing a Gar­den City.

In a state­ment on Fri­day , the Pri­vate Sec­tor Com­mis­sion said years of par­ti­san ob­struc­tion and ad­min­is­tra­tive fail­ures have left the city with clogged drains, garbage-strewn streets, de­te­ri­o­rat­ing roads, di­lap­i­dat­ed mar­kets, and ne­glect­ed pub­lic spaces.

The PSC said those con­di­tions have not on­ly un­der­mined the qual­i­ty of life for cit­i­zens but have al­so con­strained in­vest­ment, trade, and the ease of do­ing busi­ness.
