    FLOOD mitigation is high on the priority

    list of the state government. This is

    proven from the number of ood mitiga-

    tion projects that will be undertaken by

    the various departments to ensure thatPenangites do not suffer from ooding.

    Since the Pakatan Rakyat took helm ofthe state administration in 2008, the publichas noticed that ood incidences, espe-

    cially ash-oods. have reduced tremen-

    dously. One of them of course is the efforts

    put in by both Penang Island MunicipalCouncil (MPPP) and Seberang Perai Mu-

    nicipal Council (MPSP) to ensure that there

    are no clogged drains.Recently, Chow Kon Yeow, the newly-

    appointed exco member for ood mitiga-

    tion who also holds the portfolio of localgovernment and trafc management, gotdown to the ground and visited all the ve

    districts to monitor the progress of theood mitigation projects.

    Met at Bayan Baru on Sept 12, Chowtold members of the press that he had goneto the State Drainage and Irrigation De-

    partment (JPS), MPPP and MPSP to bebriefed on the ood mitigation projects.

    There are 40 ood mitigation projectsamounting close to RM500 milion whichare being carried out on the island and

    mainland, he said.These projects are under the JPS,

    MPSP and MPPP with funds from boththe Federal and state governments.

    Besides this, the state has also approved

    another 10 smaller projects amounting toRM6 million.

    Also, another RM16 million was allo-

    cated by Penang state for the same pur-pose.

    This indicates the strong commitment

    of the state towards ood mitigation,Chow said.

    State Secretary Datuk Farizan Darus re-

    cently issued an order to all the departmentsinvolved to be on alert and make sure that all

    systems work. Rubbish must be cleared,pumps must be checked that they are working,ood shelters must be on standby, Chowsaid.

    This was in view of the recent spate of

    heavy rains that lasted for several daysduring the middle of September.

    The South-West JPS office districtengineer, Abdul Rani Zainor who was with

    Chow, took media members for a tour ofthe Gertak Sanggul JPS pump house.

    Although there are still several hot-

    spots where oods occurred, we can saythat many areas which normally get

    ooded are ood-free recently. Although,we experience heavy and continuous rain,

    we are glad that many places did not suf-

    fer ooding, Abdul Rani said.Some of the reasons for ooding in-

    clude the fast pace of development whererain water ows faster because of the

    surface run-off where normal grounds aretarred or developed into buildings. Previ-

    ously, rain water will be absorbed into thevast grounds but now, it simply has no-

    where to go, Abdul Rani added.The other causes are the older infra-

    structure of small drains and older housesbuilt in the 1970s on lower ground whilenew developments are built on higherground.

    Chow concluded the visit and remindedthe public that they have a role to play as well

    in ood mitigation.Thats why JPS also spends a sum of

    money on public education and aware-

    ness. When people throw rubbish eve-

    rywhere, they clog up the drains and riv-

    ers. So we need the publics cooperation

    as well to help in ood mitigation, Chowsaid.

    In conclusion, we want to look at the

    source of ooding. We want to be abeginning of the pipe, not at the end wood have already occurred.

    BUSINESS Process Out-sourcing (BPO) is the wayforward and Penang recog-nises the importance of BPOand the easy availability ofconducive businesses, envi-

    ronment to work, live and

    play.Thus, the state governmenthas set aside approximately17 acres of land in Bayan

    Baru and Bayan Lepas for thenext BPO hub.

    Chief Minister Lim GuanEng made the announcementduring the Second Penang

    Shared Services and Out-sourcing (SSO) Conferenceon Sept 19.

    The conference was organ-ised by investPenang and

    MdeC.InvestPenang Datuk Lee

    Kah Choon, who delivered

    the opening speech, said:Forty years ago, the formerPenang Chief Minister TunDr. Lim Chong Eu f i rs tbrought in the first phase of

    modern development.Forty years later, Penang

    has achieved much. TodayPenang is not only known asone of the important elector-

    onic hubs but is also a supplychain for the global elec-tronic industries.

    It has evolved into amulti-faceted, multi-industry

    econony. We have both theeconomy sector and a veryvibrant service sector.

    Penang is recognised bythe United Nations Industrial

    Development Organisation as

    one of the top 10 industrialdestinations in the world,

    with a reputation as one of thelocations to watch for in thenext outsourcing boom in aKPMG report.

    Penang is growing beyond

    manufacturing and now in-cludes new entities for thenext wave of value creation

    such as shared services andoutsourcing sector.

    In his keynote address,Lim said according to aGartner report, the worldwideBPO services are expected togrow to RM517.9 billion in

    2013.The state government has

    a commitment to put peopleover companies. We are onethat educates and nurtures

    talent; one that promotes andrewards diligence, innova-

    tions and entrepreneurship;one that is liveable by beingclean and green; and one that

    practises integrity, justice andpeople-centric governance,he said.

    Hence, Penang is a fertileground and an ideal place to

    build the BPO hub. It will sup-port and sustain the economy

    and provide high paying jobWe are now moving to anoth

    new level, Lim added.The service sector

    measured by how much valthey add to their customeMultinational compani

    come to Penang to set up theglobal operations and Penais realising this.

    FEDERATION of MalaysianManufacturers (FMM) presi-dent Tan Sri Yong Poh Konlauded Penangs initiatives to

    establish the SME Market Ad-visory, Resource and TrainingCentre (Smart) in 2010.

    In 2012, the SME Centrehelped develop SME villages

    in strategic areas to supportmultinational corporations(MNC).

    We value the governmentscommitment to spawn and grow

    SMEs and recognise that they

    are the backbone of the econo-my, generating both income andemployment, Yong said in hisspeech at the FMM 44th anni-

    versary dinner recently. The dinner wasthemed Mission Impossible.

    Besides, we also recognise SMEsas an important part of the supplychain, providing specialised services

    and manufacturing support to the mul-tinationals and big companies.

    Present were Chief Minister LimGuan Eng and FMM Penang branchchairman Khoo Cheok Sin.

    Yong added that FMM is particu-larly appreciative of the states assis-tance to SMEs as about 62.7 per cent

    of FMM members in Penang are SMEs.Yong said he was aware that invest-

    Penang has set up the Penang CareerAssistance and Talent Centre to attractand re-train talent, including interna-

    tional ones.Such forward-looking initiatives

    by the state are laudable and should bereplicated. The FMM-Institute, thetraining arm of FMM trained more than

    18,000 participants from the manufac-turing sector last year.

    We would be delighted to collabo-

    rate with the state in itstraining initiatives, he

    added.In Penang, I under-

    stand that the cost of

    doing business has pro-gressively increasedwith rising port ancil-lary charges and theimposition of new and

    varied charges over thepast few years.

    In the present dif-ficult times, FMM re-mains focused on as-

    sisting members tomitigate the challengesat hand and extending

    their reach, both interms of market access

    and business opportu-nities in the domestic

    and overseas markets.Members are encouraged to par-

    ticipate in FMMs business networking

    and business matching activities andtrade missions.

    This year, FMM is organising sev-eral trade missions to Brazil, Russia,Ghana, Cambodia and Indonesia to

    help members explore new market op-portunities.

    Khoo said over the last 44 years,FMM has played a significant role inthe socio-economic development of

    Penang.Its influence, contribution and

    pact on industrial developmentinvariably embedded in the econohistory of the state and FMM Penamembership profile bears testimonthis, he added.

    In his speech, Lim said: Ove

    years, FMM has evolved to bevoice of the industry and has beethe forefront of engaging the govment on policy and implementaissues affecting the manufactu

    sector in particular, and the indusenvironment of our country in geal.

    He added that Penang has succfully transformed itself from an a

    culture society to become a viburban industrial state.Penang must continue to pro

    This is our challenge, Lim said.Our primary concern is :

    Penang continue to rely on the m

    facturing sector, particularly inelectronics and electrical industrdrive the engine of growth for the in future ?

    preferred choice for investments?asked.

    AS of late, Penang has seen new faces on its shores.With multinational companies selecting the islandto expand their businesses, Penang is set for aninteresting, promising and very bright future ahead.

    Putting a diverse spin on new businesses set toopen up on the island comes Haemonetics.

    As the name cleverly hints, this is a companythat has to do with all things red, warm and liquid.

    Haemonetics Corporation will be building oneof its manufacturing facilities on a land area of12.26 acres in the Batu Kawan Industrial Park,creating new employment opportunities for 700people.

    Construction is set to start this month and ex-pected to be completed within 13 months.

    A blood management company based in Boston

    that began in 1971, Haemonetics Corporation is theglobal leader for blood management systems andrelated consumables that deal with all things to dowith blood supplies in the medical line.

    From providing end-to-end blood donations tocell salvaging and diagnostics, Haemonetics is builton the premise of helping to prevent a transfusionfor a patient who doesnt need one and provide theright blood product at the right time, in the rightdosage for the right patient who does.

    Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng expressed hisgratitude to the company for choosing Penang asthe base of its new facility.

    I would like to also welcome the rst real blood

    recycling company to our shores. Penang is ggreen, emphasising recycling. Haemonetics, wpremise is, in a nutshell, using shed blood fro

    person, cleaning it up and then returning it touser is in fact the rst real blood recycling c

    pany in the world.This ts perfectly with the recycling DN

    Penang, Lim joked at the private luncheoHaemonetics after the ground-breaking ceremat Batu Kawan on Sept 20.

    Based on gures by the Association of Malay

    Medical Industries (AMMI), Malaysias medevice exports last year totalled RM 12.9 bill

    Globally, the medical technology market is cast to grow at 4.4 percent per year to reach US$billion, according to Espicom Business Intelligea unit of Business Monitor International.

    In regards to this, Lim stated that with Haemetics initiative to spawn and develop local su

    ers, Penang will be able to strengthen its holthe medical device industry.We chose Penang for two reasons. One, it g

    us close proximity with our growing customerin the Asia Pacic region and more importa

    two, the ready access to an educated workforceskills needed to produce our products falls inwith the high standards we have set for ourselvsaid Brian Concannon, President and CEO of Hmonetics Corporation.

    Not to mention the tremendous amount of

    NOT many people may know

    this, but Penang is more than astate that is well known for itscolonial heritage tourist sites,street art, hawker food and amelting pot for the informationtechnology industry.

    As of late, Penang has stra-tegically portrayed and trans-formed itself into a hub for

    numerous international com-panies to set up shop on ourshores.

    The newest addition to thelist of international businesseswould be Wilmar Interna-tional Limited. ConsideredAsias leading agribusinessgroup, Wilmar has opened itsfirst global business centre(GBS) on the island to supportthe groups next phase ofgrowth.

    Wilmar International Lim-

    ited, formed in 1991 andheadquartered in Sinagpore,has business activities in oilpalm cultivation, oilseedcrushing, edible oil refining,sugar milling and refining,fertiliser manufacturing andgrain processing.

    Wilmar GBS will provideoutsourcing services for theGroups nance and account-ing processes, transactions andall other related activities to

    its ofces in Singapore, Ma-laysia, Indonesia, Australia,New Zealand, Europe, Africa,

    Vietnam and the Philippines,said Wilmars chief nancial

    officer Ho Kiam Kong at apress conference at their prem-ises at Precinct One, BayanBaru.

    We have chosen Penang asthe home to Wilmar GBS forits strategic location, readilyavailable talent pool in nance

    and accounting, low staff at-

    trition rate and good commandof the English language, hesaid when asked about Wil-mars main reasons for open-ing up shop in Penang.

    Wilmar GBS welcomed itsrst 20 employees in April this

    year and is expecting to havea workforce of 200 by the endof 2014.

    In a way, Wilmar is return-ing home to its roots, havingties with Malaysia dating back

    to 1996 where we began oper-ating our rst palm oil reneryin Butterworth.

    With our considerablefootprint in Malaysia, it istimely for us to now begin thisnext leg of our journey, saidTeo Kim Yong, chief operatingofcer of Wilmar.

    Teo added that they re-ceived tremendous supportfrom the Penang state govern-ment and MDec Malaysia

    when opening up the global

    business centre.Chief Minister Lim Guan

    Eng pointed out that thismarked Wilmars third busi-ness establishment in Penang,the first two being refineryfacilities in Prai and Butter-worth.

    The selection criteria ofWilmar converges with thosesame key critical success fac-

    tors that make Penang a fvored BPO location in receyears, Lim added in hspeech at the opening ceremny of Wilmar GBS.

    These factors include, otalent pool, our efcient su

    ply chain, good infrastructua clean and good governanand international benchmaras an intelligent city.

    JUST when the general publiclaments on the lack of affordablehomes on the island, PDC Prop-erties Sdn. Bhd. (a subsidiaryof Penang Development Corpo-

    ration) chairman Wong Hon Waiannounced that 694 units ofmedium-cost and low- mediumcost ats will be built in Teluk

    Kumbar.

    Wong, who is also assembly-

    member for Air Itam, was ap-pointed chairman of PDC Prop-

    erties in August.Wong held a press conference

    at PDC in Bayan Baru togetherwith Tan Yeow Song, seniorproject manager, and architect

    Johnny Ooi to announce thatPDC Properties will be callingfor tenders for the constructionof the ats on a piece of state

    land measuring 5.8 acre oppo-site the Puspakom office in

    Teluk Kumbar.

    Three hundred and forty sixunits of low-medium cost with

    built-up area of 700 sq.ft will bebuilt together with another 348units of medium-cost ats with

    built-up area between 800 sq ftto 1,000 sq ft by PDC Properties

    by the end of this year and ex-pected to be completed withinthree years, Wong said.

    He also revealed that initially,the state government had offered

    the plot of land to the Federalgovernment to be included in the

    10th Malaysia Plan to build af-fordable homes.Nothing positive was forth-

    coming from the Housing andLocal Goverment Ministry,Wong said.

    Hence, the state decided todevelop using its housing allo-

    cation of RM500 million tobuild affordable homes for thepeople.

    Wong also took the opportu-nity to refute claims that the

    state government did not build

    affordable homes for the people.It is true PDC was very ac-

    tive in the construction of hous-ing for the people from the1970s to 1990s.

    During the tenure of Tan SriWong Pow Nee and then Tun Dr.Lim Chong Eu, PDC built anddeveloped a lot of housing areasfor the people.

    There were 42 projects with15,000 units of affordable homesfor the people back then. Wongexplained.

    However, based on the in-

    formation I gathered during my

    time as the exco for HouPDC slowed down in the

    struction area between 1and 2000s. Only one blocve-storey ats was built i

    Itam/Paya Terubong area wthe rest were built by pridevelopers, Wong said.

    Now, we want to go ba

    construction of affordhomes for the people. Withproject in Teluk Kumbar, afable homes in Jalan SP Cheand the huge township in

    Kawan, PDC is going inright direction, Wong said

    MALAYSIA has stood tallinternationally with 70 mil-lion sq ft gross floor areacertied as a green building.

    But what is a green build-

    ing?A green building focuses

    on increasing the efciency of

    resource use energy, waterand materials - while reducing

    building impact on humanhealth and the environment.

    Penang was in the forefront inencouraging green buildingwith the launch of the Green

    Building Index (GBI) in May2009.

    The GBI was developed byPersatuan Akitek Malaysia(PAM) and the Association ofConsulting Engineers Malay-

    sia (ACEM) and is a profes-sion-driven initiative to leadthe Malaysian property mar-ket towards becoming moreenvironment-friendly.

    Since then, Penang has 16buildings which are certied

    as green buildings.Some of these building

    owners or representativeswere at the Seminar on GBIUpdate & New Tools and Af-

    fordable Green Building heldon Sept 20 at the Cheong FattTze Mansion in Leith Street.

    They received their certi-cates from exco member forLocal Council, Trafc Man-agement and Flood MitigationChow Kon Yeow, Von Kok

    Leong, past president of Ma-laysia Green Building Con-

    federation (MGBC) and BoonChe Wee, chairman of GreenBuilding Index Sdn Bhd.

    Judging by the number ofGBI-certied buildings, both

    GBI and MGBC have achieveda lot in a short time by work-ing together, Chow said inhis keynote speech.

    What impressed me is that

    all the GBI rating tools aredeveloped by volunteers

    whose intent is sincere and

    genuine. They are not drivenby prot, but by a simple de-sire to spread awareness ofsustainability in the built en-vironment.

    He added: We nd it ap-propriate for MPPP and MPSPto implement GBI as part oftheir Development Order andBuilding Plan requirements.

    We will continue to offer de-velopers planning incentivesfor getting their projects certi-ed by GBI.

    It is understood that devel-opers with certified GBIbuildings get two incentivesfrom the treasury in terms ofstamp duty and tax exemptionwhile they obtain a 2/3 refund

    f rom the i r deve lopmentcharges from the local coun-cils, i.e. Penang Island Mu-nicipal Council (MPPP) orSeberang Perai Municipal

    Council (MPSP).Boon also refuted claims

    by other quarters that it is

    expensive to obtain a GBIcertication.

    It is not true that GBI rat-ings are difcult and/or ex-

    pensive to achieve and thisseminar will demonstratethat, he said.

    GBI is more suitable foruse in Malaysia compared to

    foreign green building ratingtools.

    In a press conference dur-

    ing the seminar, Chow wasked if the Penang stagovernments announceme

    on the official adoption GBI as the green building ring tool will be used in tstate as the exclusive ratibody.

    He replied: The stateopen to other rating tooUltimately it is the industhat must respond to it.

    CHIEF Minister Lim Guan

    Eng hopes the polices Special

    Branch will continue to pro-

    vide reports and updates to the

    state government on the per-

    formance of elected repre-

    sentatives and their electoral

    chances.

    The Special Branch has

    never provided any reports to

    me since I assumed office in

    2008 but presumably only to

    the Home Affairs Minister,

    Lim said in a recent statement,

    adding this practice of provid-

    ing reports to the chief minis-ter has clearly been discontin-

    ued after Pakatan Rakyat took

    over the administration of

    Penang.

    Former Penang exco mem-

    ber Toh Kin Woon had ex-

    posed th is pract ice whi le

    giving his statement to the

    Bersih Peoples Tribunal in

    Subang Jaya, Selangor, re-

    cently.

    Even though I hold month-

    ly meetings of the State Public

    Order And Security Council

    chaired by me and attended by

    the state police chief, only

    crime is discussed, Lim said.

    There has been no feed-

    back from the Special Branch

    and the state has no access to

    information about the perfor-

    mance of any elected repre-

    sentatives nor of any weak

    areas that need attention.

    During those monthly

    meetings of the State Public

    Order And Security Council,the main focus is on how to

    collaborate as well as share

    information and resources to

    combat and reduce crime.

    These meetings serve a

    useful joint anti-crime effort

    that has succeeded in making

    Penang one of the safest cities

    in Malaysia with the highest

    reduction in crime index for

    five years consecutively since

    2008, Lim said.

    Lim added although there

    are no reports or briefings

    from the Special Branch, the

    state government will still

    continue with the monthly

    Public Order and Security

    Council meetings as it is a

    useful platform to harnes

    resources and collaborate

    all agencies and partie

    fight crime.

    Lim hopes Special Branch continues

    with reports on elected reps

    IN a departure from the Barisan Na-

    sional (BN) governments practice of

    not allocating proper funds to opposi-

    tion assemblymembers, the DAP-led

    Penang government has approved an

    annual RM40,000 allocation for each

    state representative beginning next

    year.

    Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said

    10 Penang opposition assemblymem-

    bers, all of them from Umno, will

    receive the sum after the allocation

    is fixed and tabled in the 2014 Budg-

    et at the state assembly at the end of

    the year.

    This move was discussed by thestate executive council (exco) on

    Sept 18, Lim said in a recent state-

    ment.

    He also said the state government

    had invited Umno assemblymembers

    in Penang to sit on the exco so that

    they could do some work while get-

    ting the allocation.

    However, our invitat ion was

    turned down as they do not want to

    collaborate with the PR administra-

    tion, he added.

    Lim said the state government had

    wanted the Umno assemblymembers

    to sit on the exco as PR was worried

    they would not abide by the standard

    operating procedure put in place.

    He said this included competitive

    open tender policies, issues of integ-

    rity and forbidding kith and kin from

    getting involved in government busi-

    ness.

    The refusal of these Umno lead-

    ers to work together with PR shows

    they are only eager to secure what is

    given but not willing to take respon-

    sibility.

    Lim said the state exco has de-cided to allow RM40,000 worth of

    small development projects a year for

    the 10 state Umno representatives.

    PR practises openness by respect-

    ing the principles and spirit of de-

    mocracy which stresses fairness to-

    wards all regardless of race or reli-

    gion, and without discriminating

    between BN and PR supporters.

    Lim said the mechanism for dis-

    bursing the RM40,000 allocation will

    be decided later.

    In contrast with the national con-

    frontation which is adopted by Putra-

    jaya, Pakatan Rakya t is using the

    national reconciliation where the

    exco in Penang decided to alloca

    RM40,000 for minor developme

    projects even in opposition-he

    areas.

    INNOCENT victims of crime, were

    the exact words used by Chief Minis-

    ter Lim Guan Eng when he interacted

    with members of the press after visit-

    ing family members of the elderly

    couple that was attacked in Balik

    Pulau on Sept 18.

    With an incident that can only be

    described as vile and inhumane with

    malevolent intent, durian and rubber

    estate owner Chin Len Wong, 83, died

    when he and his wife, Chang YookKee, were brutally attacked in a rob-

    bery that took place at their home on

    Jalan Tun Sardon in Balik Pulau.

    The couple was found in a pool of

    blood the next morning by their son

    who stopped by to deliver some food.

    Chin died minutes after his son

    found him while his wife was rushed

    to the Penang Hospital immediately.

    She is currently still warded there.

    Police suspect that more than one

    culprit was involved in the attack.

    I express my heartfelt condo-

    lences to members of this family and

    I hope that the c ulprits will be brought

    to justice speedily, Lim said after

    presenting monetary aid of RM2,000

    to the family at the hospital.

    There needs to be a greater police

    presence in Penang to ensure thisdoesnt happen again. Justice has to

    be served for this family and peace be

    restored in Balik Pulau.

    Lim also stated that the crime rate

    in Penang is down, but it was not good

    enough.

    He also hopes the authorities would

    position more police officers in

    ang to ensure the safety of its peo

    MOST would say that by nature, chil-

    dren born with special needs and dis-abilities are set to live forever as out-

    casts of society, never being allowed

    to develop their full potential in to-

    days modern age. However, with

    people from Prospect Rainbow, a

    centre for children with special needs,

    nurturing these young ones and giving

    them a brighter future definitely seems

    viable.

    Prospect Rainbow was set up in

    February 2003 in response to the in-

    creasing number of children with spe-

    cial needs and aims at providing con-

    sultations, assessments, intervention

    programmes as well as supporting

    children with special needs to ulti-mately help integrate these young in-

    dividuals into society. However, com-

    mendable efforts such as this can only

    reach its full potential with help from

    the community.

    In light of this, the Parent Support

    Group (PSG) of Prospect Rainbow will

    be holding a fundraising dinner on Sept

    28 at the City Bayview Hotel, George-

    town.

    The aim of the fundraiser is to sup-

    port the centre by providing educa-

    tional resources, creative art and

    technology tools to help these children

    with special needs learn, communicate

    and develop their full potential in the

    21st century.

    PSGs plan for the centre this yearis to set up a multimedia resource

    room, complete with interactive smart

    boards and Tablet technology and an

    art room to nurture the creative aspect

    present in these children.

    The fundraiser will also coincide

    with the schools 10-year anniversary.

    In addition to a wide variety of per-

    formances, guests will also get the

    chance to participate in a raffle where

    lucrative prizes such as vouchers for

    spas, restaurants and hotel stays, jew-

    ellery, toys and hampers are up for

    grabs.

    Prospect Rainbow

    currently has 32 chil-dren with special needs

    under its care.

    The centre, which has

    10 staff, also boasts of

    incorporating technol-

    ogy into their teachings.

    FOR some time now, Penang has set agoal for itself - to be the first greenstate in the country.

    From banning free plastic bags, to

    the outlawing of styrofoam take-awaycontainers, numerous eco-friendlyprojects to even more recycling-themed events and campaigns, the stategovernment has definitely kept its

    word on upholding the green initiative.One fact or truth to emerge from this

    step to conserve and preserve motherearth would be the states current re-cycling rate as of Sep-

    tember 2013.

    Penang has reacheda high 30 per cent over-all recycling rate, ex-ceeding the countrys

    target of 20 per cent by2020.

    At the recent PenangIsland Computer Recy-cling Carnival 2013 at

    Sunshine Square, LocalGovernment, TrafficManagement and FloodMitigation committeechairman Chow Kon

    Yeow said the recyclingrates in both the PenangIsland Municipal Coun-

    cil (MPPP) and Se-berang Jaya MunicipalCouncil (MPSP) were 29 per cent and

    31 per cent respectively.This averages out to be about 30

    per cent for the state,more than the average

    recycl ing rate of thewhole country, he said.

    By no means is this the

    end result of Penangsgreen undertaking, but itis a definite milestone increating a greener, clean-er and healthier island

    state.Chow also implored

    the community to be ac-tively involved with recy-cling, which would help

    with the hopes of achiev-

    ing a 40 per cent recycling rate in theyears to come.

    In light of this, a few other initiatives

    have been implemented to teach the

    valuable green lesson of recycling tothe leaders of tomorrow.

    Eco-friendly themed and recy-cling based activities were carriedout for the children present at the

    Computer Recycling Carnival2013, exposing the young minds torecycling in a fun way that they canrelate to.

    Adding to this, MPSP has alsolaunched its Eco Rangers pro-

    gramme, in cooperation with SMKSains Tun Syed Sheh Shahabudin(SMK STSSS), a programme that en-

    courages and educates youngsabout all things green, from recycto instant food waste convertingeven caring for stray cats.

    MPSP secretary Rozali Moha

    hopes the students can get a handexperience with working on diffeenvironmental projects.

    The good green fight is one thattake many years to win.

    With that in mind, empoweringgeneration after us to preserve, serve and recycle would ensure thawill all be able to live in a cleagreener and healthier Penang.

    CHIEF Minister Lim Guan Eng onSept 4 flagged off a convoy of some200 cyclists for a night ride from Kek

    Lok Si Temple to Air Itam Dam.At the same function, he also offici-

    ated the completion of streetlight in-stallation along a 2.3km stretch fromKek Lok Si Temple to Air Itam Dam.

    In his speech, Lim said the gesture

    by Perbandaran Bekalan Air PulauPinang (PBAPP) is timely and wel-comed as the area, besides being aroute of choice for cyclists, is also one

    of the tourist destinations and is gettingmore popular by the day.

    Meanwhile, PBAPP general man-ager Jaseni Maidinsa said 47 street-light poles were installed along the 2.3

    km private road since June 6.The job was completed on July 15

    and it has brightened up the road sincethen, he said.

    Total cos t of the project was

    RM185,700, and the annual mainte-nance cost is estimated at RM15,000.

    Jaseni added that PBAPP receiveda request from the Penang CyclistsChapter to install streetlights along

    the road to improve safety, comfortand security of cyclists and the road-

    users.With the installation of the street-lights, cyclists can use the route moreoften and at the same time promote

    Air Itam area as their choice of cy-cling destination, Jaseni said.

    RAIN poured continu-

    ously for several days inthe middle of September

    and caused landslips at

    several locations.

    This prompted the

    Penang Island Munici-

    pal Council (MPPP) to

    ju mp in to ac ti on an d

    take the necessary reme-

    dial steps.

    The hut at the famous

    84-rest station which is

    the hikers trail at Pen-

    ang Hill was damaged

    on Sept 11.

    Exco member Chow

    Kon Yeow together withMPPP officers promptly

    went up for a site in-

    spection upon hearing

    the news.

    The other landslips

    occurred near Solok Tanjung

    Bungah on Sept 14.

    MPPP immediately ordered

    a team comprising its engineers

    led by geo-technical expert

    THEMED Heal The Earth, Count me in, the Penang Green Expo

    2013 organised by Penang Green Council (PGC) saw people turning

    out in full support of the two- day event.

    This unique platform promoting green technologies and products

    was held at sPICE (Subterranean Penang International Conference

    & Exhibition Centre ) on Sept 21 and 22.

    Penang is the only state that bans the use of plastic bags, Chief

    Minister Lim Guan Eng, as chairman of PGC, said proudly.

    He added Penang achieved 30 per cent recycling rate by May this

    year which exceeded the national target of 20 per cent by 2020.Nearly 80 organisations educated and inspired the visitors to

    practise a green and healthy lifestyle.

    Innovation and alternatives are vital to protect the planet without

    damaging natural resources.

    In short, we need to create sustainable living environments for

    future generations.

    Children enjoyed themselves at the mini theme park built by the

    main sponsor Escape while parents bought the various health prod-

    ucts.

    Meanwhile, Lim urged Penangites to conserve water as the state

    per capita consumption has reached 302 l/c/d compared to the na-

    tional average of 210 l/c/d. I will penalise those who waste water

    by hiking the water conservation surcharge, said Lim. Visitors were given free sap lings to take home from Sunshine Garden.

    INTERNATIONAL online sites con-

    tinue to entice their readers about thetemptations found in Penang.

    Within a week, Penangs food andtourist attractions have earned the men-tion of two famous online sites.

    CNN Travel site published the Ma-laysia travel: 10 things to know before

    you go by Tina Hsiao and Jules Kayon Sept 20.The list claims that the worlds best

    Guinness outside of Ireland is in Malay-

    sia. Unfortunately, the worlds worsttaxi drivers can be found in Malaysiatoo.

    Making it to the list is Penang charkoay teow.

    The article said: The (Penang) is-lands numerous hawker centers ply allsorts of other Chinese, Indian and Malayfare, from hokkien mee to curry mee androjak.

    Some would (and do) even say thebest street food in the world can be

    found on the (Penang) island.Penangites will tell you that without

    an iota of doubt - Penang has the bestfood on earth.

    Thats how Penang got a mention byworld wanderer Lina Eroh on Hufng-

    ton Post, a popular site with social mediausers.

    She spent over two weeks in Penangand wrote:Two must tries are char koay teow

    and penang laksa.

    Char koay teow is made from at rice

    noodles fried in a super hot iron wok.

    The higher the heat, the more delicious

    the dish. The goal is to make the noodles

    smoky, the garlic crunchy, and then add

    in the prawns, egg, sausage, and cockles

    to top it off.

    Penang laksa, my favorite dish, has

    a sh-based broth made from poached

    mackarel stewed for hours with chili

    peppers, lemongrass, and tamarind. Its

    served with thick rice noodles and gar-

    nished with cucumber, onions, lettuce,

    and sometimes pineapple. The slightly

    sour taste is off-putting to some, but I

    couldnt get enough!

    As Penangites, arent we all so lucky?

    We do not need to travel half the globe

    to get a taste of the foods and the sigh

    They are all right here at our doorsteBoth CNN and Hufngton Post a

    cles can be found at http://www.hufn

    PENANG will soon add another featherin its cap in the arena of higher educa-tion as the prestigious University of Hullis set to establish a campus in BatuKawan.

    Courses that will be offered at Hullwill range from engineering, businessand law to accountancy, all covering thepre-U, degree and postgraduate formsof tertiary education, reinforcing Pen-

    angs role as a regional education hub.Construction of the ve- acre campus

    is set to begin next year and courses areexpec ted to beavailable at the lat-

    est by 2017.

    Hul l w i l l besigning a franchiseagreement with asubsidiary of the

    Port Klang TradingLogistics Sdn Bhd(PKT) in early Oc-tober to nalise the

    facilitation of the

    Yorkshire-based in-s t i tut ion to ourshores.

    This educationproject titled The

    Ship Campus is a component of PKTs

    One Auto Hub in Batu Kawan.PKT has high hopes that these

    courses will be offered at a reasonablerate to train the future pool of humantalent to help Penang and ultimately

    Malaysia escape the middle-income trapand transform itself into a high-incomeeconomy, said Datuk Michael B.Y. Tio,a representative from PKT.

    This would directly benet Penang

    as the courses offered at The ShipCampus go hand in hand with the highdemand of existing industries in Penanglike electrical and electronics engineer-ing, business studies, logistic studies,

    accountancy and law.The courses mentioned are still

    subject to the nal approval of the Edu-cation Ministry. The state requires theirapproval to ensure the degree certica-

    tions conducted by the University ofHull in the United Kingdom can and willbe recognised by the Malaysian govern-ment, said Chief Minister Lim GuanEng at a press conference in Komtar on

    Sept 24.

    The presence of the UniversitHull is a boost to the rapid developmof Batu Kawan as this is Penangs modern satellite township. Now we one internationally acclaimed uni

    sity on the mainland and one on thland, Lim added, referring to the AWomen Leadership University locin Balik Pulau that is run by Smith lege, Massachusetts, the number

    womens college in America.

    SHE was a vibrant, chatty eight-year-

    old, but Chan Yi Juin has now beenbedridden after being diagnosed withAcute necrotising Encephalopathy ofChildhood (ANEC) associated withInuenza A (H1N1) Infection.

    Her desperate family is in dire needof donations from the public to fund astem cell therapy so their child can haveanother go at life.

    Her condition has affected her brain

    function and she is now bedridden in herhome in Tanjong Bungah which requiresher parents to provide round-the-clockattention which in turn has affected theirjobs and income.

    Dr. Lau Hee Sim, who is handling Yi

    Juins case, is working with Datuk Dr.Tham, a consultant for Celebre (Suisse)AG Inc from Switzerland to provideassistance for the needed stem cell

    therapy.The stem cell therapy would give Yi

    Juin a chance to regenerate some braincells which could help regain some mo-tor function but the needed therapy costs

    RM65,000 for the rst treatment, halfof which was generously donated by Dr.Tham.

    The Lions Club of Georgetown hastaken it upon themselves to help the

    family seek the remaining RM32,000from members of the public and a fur-

    ther RM500,000 for a second round oftreatment if needed and also to help thefamily sustain their livelihood for theforseeable future.

    Tanjong Bungah a assemblymemberTeh Yee Cheu also has engaged therelevant departments of the state govern-ment to provide some sort of welfare forthe family.

    It is also understood that there is nocause for alarm as this case is an iso-

    lated one and is not infectious to thegeneral public, as highlighted by Law-rence Cheah Seong Paik, past presidentof Lions Club Georgetown.

    Yi Juins mother hopes that membersof the public and the state governmentwill be able to help as every little senwill help the family a long way.

    With our current limited income, it

    is very hard to sustain our livelihood. Itcosts around RM100 to RM200 a day to
