Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow just dropped the news: a long-stalled private development is finally kicking into gear on part of Pulau Jerejak. Ideal Property is building a bridge from Queensbay to the island, and it’s expected to open in 2028 or 2029.
The project covers about 80 acres that used to belong to UDA Holdings and the Penang Development Corporation. The state and UDA already sold off their stakes years ago, so this is pure private-sector play — no government cash involved. Chow made it crystal clear: it’s not the whole island, just that former UDA-PDC parcel.
Once the bridge is up, the developer can finally start transforming the land. After years of talk and approvals gathering dust, the concrete is about to pour. Penang’s latest real-estate bet is no longer just a plan on paper.

槟州首席部长曹观友近日表示，峇六拜与木蔻山岛之间的桥梁工程预计于2028年或2029年竣工。该桥由Ideal Property承建，是木蔻山岛约80英亩私人发展项目的配套设施。
曹观友澄清，项目仅涉及昔日由城市发展局（UDA）与槟州发展机构（PDC）共同持有的地块，州政府与UDA早已出售股份，现属纯私人投资。他强调，发展范围并非整座木蔻山岛。
桥梁通车后，开发商即可正式展开岛上建设。这一拖延多年的计划终于迎来实质进展。

Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Chow Kon Yeow, mengesahkan projek pembangunan swasta di sebahagian Pulau Jerejak akan bergerak maju dengan pembinaan jambatan menghubungkan pulau itu ke Queensbay. Jambatan yang diluluskan beberapa tahun lalu kepada Ideal Property dijangka siap pada 2028 atau 2029.
Projek ini melibatkan kira-kira 80 ekar tanah yang sebelum ini dimiliki bersama oleh UDA Holdings Berhad dan Perbadanan Pembangunan Pulau Pinang (PDC). Chow menjelaskan kerajaan negeri dan UDA telah melepaskan saham mereka, justeru ia adalah pembangunan sektor swasta sepenuhnya. Ia tidak merangkumi seluruh pulau.
Dengan jambatan itu, pemaju boleh memulakan pembangunan di pulau berkenaan.
