GEORGE TOWN, April 22 -- Putrajaya will install an Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) in Komtar at the heart of the city here, said Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.

He said the federal government is now looking at space requirements and financing for the renovations at Komtar that is also home to the state administrative centre.

"After considering several locations, the federal government finally selected Komtar to set up UTC; it is not finalised yet because the agreement is not signed," he said during a press conference at the anniversary celebration of Penang Development Corporation (PDC) here.

Chow, who is PDC chairman, welcomed the move and said it will bring in more traffic to the building.

It will also serve as part of effort...
