    THE RM3.3 billion Information Tech-nology Outsourcing and Business Pro-cess Outsourcing (IT-BPO) Hub inPenang will generate some 30,000 high-income jobs when it is fully developed

    in 10 years.

    Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said inthe rst ve years, about 21,000 high-income jobs would be created.

    The fastest-growing sector in the

    BPO industry in the country is in bank-ing, nancial services and insurance witha 30% market share followed by manu-facturing (27%), oil and gas (22%), andothers such as retail, logistics, govern-

    ment and telecommunications.The outsourcing sector in Malaysia

    is targetted to increase at an average rateof 15% in the coming three years interms of revenue, he said at the ground-

    breaking ceremony of the IT-BPO Hubin Bayan Lepas recently.

    Also present was Minister in the

    Prime Ministers Depart-

    ment Datuk Seri AbdulWahid Omar, who repre-sented the prime minister atthe event.

    The IT-BPO Hub com-

    prises three components - a74- acre IT-BPO Park in

    Bayan Lepas, a planneddevelopment of the seven-acre BPO Prime in Bayan

    Baru and a 100,000 sq ft ofC r e a t i v e A n i m a t i o nTriggers(CAT) in theGeorge Town heritage en-clave.

    Lim said he was informedthe outsourcing industry hadcreated some 50,000 newjobs as of June 2013, addingthat the Multimedia Devel-

    opment Corp targets thecreation of at least 85,000jobs by 2017 for the country.

    BPO services includecustomer operations, dataprocessing, back ofce ad-ministration, accounting,technical support, transcrip-tion, software development,IT consultancy and disaster

    recovery services.He said the global out-

    sourcing market was cur-rently worth US$458 billion (aboutRM1.4 trillion) and was expected toreach US$625 billion by 2017.

    As the IT-BPO requires basically

    talented Malaysians and nearly no for-eign workers, we need to develop and

    grow the services sector to make this asuccess.

    Unless we invest and promote such as IT-BPO, the future canno

    won for Penang and Malaysia, said.

    THE alleged perpetrators behind the pol-lution at Sungai Batu Feringghi have been

    identied after the Department of Environ-

    ment (DOE), Penang, completed its inves-

    tigation papers on Indah Water Konsortium

    (IWK) following the incident.Exco member for Local Government,

    Traffic Management and Flood Mitiga-

    tion Chow Kon Yeow told the press onMarch 3 at Komtar: Penang DOE

    briefed the Exco in a meeting on Feb 28and said it had identified the source ofthe pollution.

    These include six food premises, IWKsewage treatment plant, laundry service

    and car wash centre.

    DOE Penang prepared the investigationpapers based on the Environmental Qual-

    ity Regulations (Sewage) 2009 and willsubmit it to its Legal Department at the

    federal government level.The DOE is under the Natural Resourc-

    es and Environment Ministry which isheaded by Datuk Seri G. Palanivel.

    Further action will depend on the legal

    department, Chow added.In the said brieng, DOE Penang also

    pointed out that some of the sources ofpollution are not under its jurisdiction andthey hope the other agencies concerned

    will take the necessary action, Chow said.Chow added that the River and Marine

    Pollution Taskforce (RMPT) are currentlydoing the mapping of the sources of pol-

    lution, locations of any illegal structuresand nature of the source of pollutants.

    The RMPT will table its report in the

    coming exco meeting.A statewide action plan will then be

    drawn up.The respective agencies, whether the

    local council or district ofce, will take

    action accordingly, he said.Besides this, Chow said Urban Wellbe-

    ing, Housing and Local Government Min-

    istry had also asked the local councils andother relevant agencies to attend a meeting

    in Putrajaya on March 6 on coordinationof the operations on sewerage system andpollution incidences in Batu Feringghi

    Beach.Finally, Chow hoped all parties willwork towards a win-win solution to pre-

    vent pollution to rivers and seas.I hope there is no interference from

    politicians, no excuses from the agencies,fair reporting by the media and no unnec-

    essary protests.

    We want a win-win solution for thepeople.

    PENANG may hold its own when itcomes to satisfying foodies and be

    among the top choices for any vaca-

    tioner, but one thing the state still lacksis the city status for George Town, oneof the countrys most well known tour-

    ist hotspots.

    For the past three years, the stategovernment and the Penang Island

    Municipal Council (MPPP) have beenappealing to Putrajaya to grant GeorgeTown its city status, and after long last,things seem to be taking a positive

    turn.Penang has fullled all the criteria

    needed to be granted city status andthe nal green light rests upon thedecision by the Cabinet, said state

    exco for Local Government, TrafcManagement and Flood MitigationChow Kon Yeow in a press conferencein Komtar.

    In the latest meeting with theHousing and Local Government Min-

    istry recently, it was nally agreed that

    Penang be granted city status but thishas to be approved by the Cabinetrst, Chow added.

    Chow also pointed out that oneparticular area which would greatlybenefit from achieving city status

    would be Penangs trafc jam woes.With city status, additional powers

    would be given to the state administra-tion to improve trafc management.With this, we would be able to

    station more people to monitor trafcow but more importantly, we wouldbe able to better safeguard motoristsand pedestrians alike with more MPPPofcers going around, upholding the

    law and effectively issuing compoundsto those who commit trafc offences,Chow said.

    George Town was granted city sta-

    tus in 1957 by the British government,

    but based on a smaller area of jurisdic-

    tion from Bagan Jermal in the northand ending somewhere in Air Hitamin the south.

    After 1976, area limits in Penangwere restructured, extending the

    George Town jurisdiction and combiing all governing bodies througho

    Penang under MPPP.This resulted in the loss of Georg

    Towns city status and it has not bee

    granted since then.

    TRAFFIC ow on the SultanAbdul Halim Muadzam ShahBridge (Second Penang Bridge)is relatively smooth comparedto the two days after the bridge

    was ofcially opened on March1.

    The trafc situation in thearea is normal. The effect of thenew bridge has yet to be felt but

    we will continue to monitor the

    trafc count in the area, saidexco for Local Government,Trafc Management and Flood

    Mitigation Chow Kon Yeowduring a site visit to Batu Maung

    on March 3 at 8.30am.Accompanying Chow were

    exco for Works, Utilities andTransportation Lim Hock Sengand Penang Island Municipal

    Council engineering departmentdeputy director A. Rajendran.

    He said some 20 to 30 vehi-

    cles were heading into BatuMaung from the bridge (fromthe mainland) every minute.

    I expect the number of vehi-

    cles to increase in the near fu-

    ture. From experience, when-

    ever there is an opening of a new

    road, motorists willusually take some

    time to get familiarwith it, he added.

    Rajendran citedthe Penang Bridge asan example where

    vehicles crossing thebridge increased byabout 10% per year.

    Meanwhile, Limsa id once Ba tu

    Kawan town is devel-

    oped, trafc ow on the new

    bridge would definitely in-

    crease.There may be a need to do

    the motorcycle lane shoul

    ther be reduced or removecater for heavier trafc othe future, he added.

    Datuk Farizan Darus.

    He added the limited water supply worsened conditions.Penang Fire and Rescue Department director AzmiTamat said his team also had to deal with a bushre inBukit Gambier.

    He said they had to use a Bombardier aircraft from theMalaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency as the res oc-

    curred mostly on slopes that are hard to access. The aircraftconducted multiple bombings on all affected spots as itscooped 6,000 litres of water each time compare to only

    800 litres using re engines.Although the res have subsided, the Fire and Rescue

    Department is on its guard in case there is a recurrence.The Penang Hill track is now open to the public.

    CHIEF Minister Lim GuanEng has r ebuked Utusan

    Malaysia over an article in

    its March 3 edit ion t i t led

    Terima hati terbuka nama

    jam bat an kedua. Acc ord ing

    to Utusan , Lim was ag -

    grieved (terkilan) over the

    Second Penang Bridge being

    named Jambatan Sultan Ab-

    dul Halim Muadzam Shah.

    Lim said only Utusan is

    capable of such defamation

    as he had not at anytime

    questioned the naming of the

    bridge.

    During the launch of thebridge on March 1, Prime

    Minister Datuk Seri Najib

    Abdul Razak had comment-

    ed that a magnificent struc-ture like the second Penang

    Bridge deserves a bet ter

    name instead of just sec-

    ond br idge. Hence, the

    bridge was named after the

    King who is also the Sultan

    of Kedah.

    In a press conference in

    Komtar on March 3, Lim

    said several reporters were

    there at the press conference

    the previous day (March 2)

    at Taman Hijau when he was

    asked to comment on the

    name of the bridge.

    Lim said he had replied toquestion from the media, after

    a press conference on gotong-

    royong, that the state govern-

    ment supports the name of

    Jambatan Sultan Abdul Halim

    Muadzam Shah.

    Utusan has bad in ten-

    tions to antagonise and pit

    the state government and

    myself against the federal

    government. It is the pero-

    grative of the federal gov-

    ernment to name the bridge

    and Penang supports the

    decision, Lim said.

    It must be noted that none

    of the Utusan reporters were

    at the press conference

    March 2.

    When asked by mem

    of the media if he was go

    to take any action aga

    Utusan, Lim replied: H

    many more legal suits sh

    I take against them?

    THE opening of the Sultan

    Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah

    Bridge (the ofcial name for

    the Penang Second Bridge) on

    March 1 was a moment of

    pride for the state.

    But, unfortunately, trafccongestion could pose a prob-

    lem in the area now as the

    trafc dispersal system for the

    new bridge will only be com-

    pleted within the next three

    years.

    The three federal projects

    aimed at helping to disperse

    the new inux of trafc on the

    island, which were supposed

    to be completed some time

    ago have only just begun con-

    struction, said state exco for

    Local Government, Traffic

    Management and Flood Miti-

    gation Chow Kon Yeow at a

    press conference a few days

    before the bridge opening.

    His comments were made

    when questions were raised as

    to why these federal funded

    traffic dispersion projects

    were not completed in time forthe opening of the second

    bridge.

    The estimated cost of the

    projects is about RM 1 billion.

    Chow said the state can

    only conduct trafc observa-

    tion and management on the

    local scale which basically

    only encompasses ne-tuning

    trafc light timings at the Tun

    Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway

    leading up to the bridge, while

    waiting for the federal projects

    to be completed.

    Chow himself has said that

    he will personally be on site

    to monitor trafc ow.

    Well, it is too late to cry

    over spilt milk, as planning for

    these trafc dispersal projects

    was done outside the knowl-

    edge of the state government.

    The state will do what it canto mitigate and ease the trafc

    situation as best as we can for

    as long as we can.

    The three federal traffic

    dispersal projects include the

    construction of an elevated

    highway from the bridge to

    Persiaran Bayan Indah, ex-

    pected to be completed next

    year.

    The second project involves

    linking the bridge to Batu

    Maung via a yover and im-

    proving traffic flow with a

    roundabout, expected to be

    done next year.

    The nal project is an ele-

    vated highway which will be

    built from the Penang Intern

    tional Airport to Teluk Kum

    THE Penang branch of the Malaysian Institute of

    Estate Agents (MIEA) has acknowledged thepositive impact of the state adopting new housingrules to prevent a possible property bubble.

    These policies include the 10 and five-year

    moratorium on the subsequent or secondary saleof low- cost, low-medium cost and affordablehousing respectively; the 3% approval fee forpuchase by foreigners and the 2% approval feeon subsequent or secondary sales within three

    years of the principal purchase.Penang state exco for Housing, Town and

    Country Planning, Jagdeep Singh Deo welcomedthis acknowledgement and recognition fromMIEA, which caters to 70% of property transac-

    tions which constitute the secondary propertymarket.

    Our main priority is to ensure local Penangitesare protected, only those deserving and eligiblehave access to such low-cost, low-medium cost

    and affordable housing and speculative transac-tions are curbed, he said

    MIEA Penang branch has stated that the Pen-ang property market will endure and after someminor adjustments, will continue to remain an

    attractive place for investments both locals andforeigners as they know they can enjoy a stableeconomic and political environment which offershealthy returns on not just capital appreciationbut yields as well in the long term.

    On a separate matter, Nuwata Sdn Bhd, the

    developer of Centrio Avenue in Bukit Gambir,

    has settled 43 of the 56 complaints receivedwithin the one-week deadline given.

    It was learnt that three complainants wereuncontactable, three were not keen in resolving,six were still in the process of discussions and

    one unable to respond due to hospitalisation,

    Jagdeep said.

    Moreover, Jagdeep has also made it manda-tory for the developer of the Taman Seri Sayangproject in Balik Pulau to submit weekly statusreports on the development as a group of prop-erty buyers made their statement on their 14-year

    wait for their houses.

    Taking reporters around the dilapidated building, Jagdeep said funds have been allocated forthe rebuilding.

    But when are they going to commence work? he asked, adding that RM3.5 million wasallocated by the federal government in December 2012 and a further RM500,000 added lastJuly 2013.

    RM4 million already allocated but nothing has been done, he said.

    Right now, the school children are housed in temporary classrooms. It is inconvenient,unsuitable and not conducive.There are 321 primary school children. How can they study in this kind of environment?

    he said.

    For the sake of the students, in particular their safety and convenience, Jagdeep is going towrite to the Education Minister. He had sent one last May but did not receive a response.

    Education Ministry urged

    to expedite repairs

    Jagdeep hopes repair work on the school will start soon.

    DATUK Nicol David (pic), the worldwomens squash champion, has madeher legacy in the squash world with animpressive seven world titles anddominated countless tournaments.

    Indeed, the world now recognises

    that sportsmen and women from Ma-laysia are serious contenders in sportingarenas everywhere.

    As Nicol has done a tremendous

    amount for Malaysia, especially herhome state Penang, Chief Minister LimGuan Eng felt it was more than appro-priate for Penang to hold the delayed2013 Womens World Squash Champi-

    onship.The cancellation of the Womens

    World Squash Championship last yearmeant world No. 1 Nicol David wascompelled to keep her world crown for

    an extended period. The Penang stategovernment felt that it was a real shamethat Penangs very own world squashqueen will not be able to add to her

    already impressive collection of sevenworld titles earned in 2005, 2006, 2008

    - 2012. Malaysians, especially Penan-gites, are eagerly awaiting her to defendher title for a record eighth time.

    Hosting the world meet in Penangis not just about getting publicity, it isa statement of intent... that Penang isserious about becoming a sporting cityof choice and doing something for

    Nicol in return, he was quoted as say-ing in an interview in a local Englishdaily.

    Organising this RM1 million inter-national event is no small matter but

    fortunately CIMB Group has also

    stepped in to be the title sponsor along-side the Penang state government whileNusmetro Group will be hosting the

    prestigious event as the organiser.Excitement runs high as the cham-

    pionship draws closer so do come and

    support our very own homegrownsquash queen Nicol in her pursuit of the

    womens world squash title again thisyear.

    Qualifying matches will be heldfrom March 15-17 at the Nicol DavidInternational Squash Centre at Bukit

    Dumbar while the main draw will be atthe Subterranean Penang InternationalConference and Exhibition Centre(sPICE) from March 18-23.

    TRUE to their word, the Lions Club of Bayan Barufulfilled a promise they made in 2010 by h anding

    over a 4-wheel drive ambulance for all terrains tothe Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS),Penang Branch on Feb 22.

    The event was witnessed by Chief Minister LimGuan Eng at Taman Iping, Batu Maung.

    I remember clearly that on a similar occasion,Lions Club of Penang Island in District 308 B2 gottogether to raise funds to buy a fully equipp ed all-terrain ambulance which was presented to St. JohnAmbulance, Malaysia for the North-East District,

    Lim said.

    On that occassion, charter president Datuk GohEng Hoe made a promise to me that Lions Club ofBayan Baru will one day raise enough funds to buyanother one for the South West District.

    Today I am happy that this promise is fulfilledin this RM216,765 vehicle. Accidents involvinghikers, cyclists and residents living in the hillyareas occur frequently and I am sure this ambu-lance will help to rush victims for emergency

    help, Lim added. Lim taking a look at the inside of the ambulance while being briefed by MRCS Eric Ng Kah Boon.

    THE number of dengue cases in Penang

    is on the rise with an alarming 189%

    increase recorded in the first two m onths

    of this year compared with the same

    period last year.

    To date three deaths reported due to

    dengue this year alone.

    In an effort to reduce these numbers,

    the state on March 2 launched a simul-

    taneous gotong royong campaign called

    Penang Sihat in 47 localities through-

    out the island.People with red spots on the skin,

    severe fever and sore jo ints should

    quickly seek medical attention, said

    Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng at the

    launch of the programme in Taman Hi-

    jau.

    Lim expressed concern that many

    people were unaware of the danger of

    dengue fever.

    State exco for Agriculture and Agro-

    based Industries, Rural Development and

    Health Dr Afif Bahardin urged communi-

    ties to cooperate with the local authori-

    ties in safeguarding their surrounding

    areas to prevent mosquitoes from breed-

    ing.It only takes 10 minutes to clear up

    the breeding places and we must begin

    from our home, he said.

    The Penang Sihat campaign requires

    all parties to do their part to tackle the

    dengue outbreak in Penang.

    The state Health Department will con-

    tinue its fogging exercise while govern-

    ment clinics will provide abate to help

    stop dengue.

    On a separate issue, Lim said he was

    glad that Penang did not have to ration

    water.

    Residents of Taman Hijau wgiven abate to kill larvastagnant water.
