I don't see why developments have to be made KL-centric. At the end of the day, Penang and JB has pressing transport issues.

ah...i see..

but honestly, penangites recognised contribution from Tun Lim Chong Eu, but not the late 18 years of BN which really did nothing.

Maybe Daengjal can list down what is the contribution of BN for the late 18 years (before being kicked out by Penangites)

RM20mil broadband project
The Star, 16 December 2007

PENANG island will achieve 100% broadband connectivity by 2010, state Public Works, Utilities and Transportation Committee chairman Datuk Koay Kar Huah said.

He said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) had forked out an estimated RM20mil for the broadband project which would be carried out in phases.
He said three telecommunication companies had been appointed to carry out the installation of cables and towers for the broadband system.

Koay, who did not have the latest statistics of the broadband penetration in the state, said more details would be revealed during an official launching in January.

He said charges for the broadband service would vary depending on the location.

“Hopefully, with a wider broadband coverage, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can take advantage of the Information Technology (IT) facility to expand their businesses.
“They can upload their company’s history and background on websites as well as promote and market their products globally,” Koay told reporters after launching the Penang Chinese ICT Seminar at the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce (PCCC) conference room at the Penang Chinese Town Hall here yesterday.

The seminar, jointly organised by PCCC and the MCA ICT Resource Centre (MIRC), was held in conjunction with the Penang ICT (Information and Communications Technology) Week 2007 which started on Dec 13.

Koay said Penang was moving towards becoming a hub for outsourcing.
“It is vital to empower our labour force with the necessary knowledge and skills so that they can become value-added workers capable of operating modern machines and are adept in the latest technologies,” he said.

Also present was PCCC president Datuk Khor Teng Tong

why the forum here has become MCA or Gerakan or DAP merit discussion? I am more concern of master plan.

Can MCA or Gerakan or DAP bring back LRT project?
Okay, may be federal gov is controlling LRT project permit. But, can Penang gov build escalated road (2 lanes, which similar to LRT escalated trail construction) that its design is similar to LRT? If SPAD not allow LRT to run on the escalated road, then have the Rapid Penang buses to run on it. It will become escalated BRT.

On time, safer, economical.

Anyhow, penang gov has 8billion worth of land to be offered, isn't it?

Rapid Penang also under federal government control, the SPAD idiot

[buildship]

just for info, SPAD controlling any land public transportation which including train, LRT, MRT, Monorail, bus, tram, taxi etc...

the main culprit why public transport not built still because of SPAD, and SPAD is under federal, and federal is formed by BN...

so should kill BN if you wish malaysia to keep progressing

SPAD is the regulator for land transport and reports to the Prime Minister.

RapidPenang Sdn. bhd. is 100% owned by Prasarana Bhd. which is 100% owned by the Ministry of Finance (Minister of Finance Inc.). The Minister of Finance is also the Prime Minister.

It's all well and fine if Penang bridge can dedicate their centre lanes to be buslanes. Island and mainland Penang needs more direct links to encourage people to leave their cars at home.

The last time I checked, 704 (Bukit Mertajam - Komtar) and 705 (Penang Megamall - Mayang Pasir), the only 2 routes that crossed the Penang Channel, are said to have decommissioned beginning April 15th, 2011 according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_Penang). Similarly, their numbers are no longer found in RapidPG website's routes page (http://www.rapidpg.com.my/journey-planner/route-maps/).

Can someone in the know update us? Can someone in positions of power do something for us?

Also, since Magna Carta was charted in 1215 in England, how often were there scenarios where the Chancellor (Prime Minister) was also the Chancellor of Exchequer (Minister of Finance)?

I think it is good to have separate state power in island and mainland of penang...

make Butterworth the capital city for Penang mainland and please make Penang mainland tourist attractions as well...

BM hill,pantai kamloon,juru area can be sorted out as tourist attraction no need to promoting penang island only...

I am feel so saddened by the state goverment in sidelining mainland penang as tourist attraction...even in their logo no map of penang mainland except penang island.......Penang is a state not only Penang island....

Strategically speaking, the island has the X factor i.e. the status of Unesco's World Heritage to attract world travellers. Obviously it has then been focused mostly. So dont get too upset dude. The mainland part has its potentials for other stuff.

Hey, Penang taxpayers contribute a lot of money to the federation and they deserve upgrading of infrastructure as much as KL does. So dont get selfish and emo. if you like KL and KL only, keep it to yourself. dont be ridiculous.

This is the recent edition of National Physical Plan 2 launched in 2010.

In page 81 of chapter 5, it is clearly mentioned, that Penang (apart from Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Kuantan) shall get MRT, LRT and BRT whenever the urban fabric is appropriate for such infrastructure.

If you look at density, and population number of Penang island, there is a case for rail transit.
