More economic sectors to operate in Penang from today

more-business-can-operate

A total of 19 economic sectors in Penang can now operate following the latest update by the National Security Council (NSC) with regard to the economic activities for the states under phase 2 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP).

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said as of yesterday (Aug 16), many economic sectors have already been allowed to resume their business.

“With the latest information that we received yesterday from the NSC, we no longer need to wait for the 50% of the adult population to be fully vaccinated before these economic sectors are allowed to resume their operation.

“Previously, this was a prerequisite for these economic sectors to resume business.

“In fact, if we were to remain with the original criteria, then I think most of the states would not be able to achieve the required vaccination rate.

“Penang, being ranked either 6th or 7th, so far has only achieved 37 percent of vaccination rate of inoculating its adult population with both the doses,” said Chow.

Chow also added that the mayors from the respective councils, Penang Island City Council and Seberang Perai City Council would be making further announcement on the matter.

Here are the updated SOPs as of 16 Aug 2021.

South Korea’s Simmtech to invest RM507.6mil in factory at Batu Kawan

July 30, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A really good post on Penang.

South Korean semiconductor giant, Simmtech Holdings Inc., has chosen Penang as the strategic location to build its ‘first in the region’ printed circuit board (PCB) and packaging substrate factory.

Simmtech’s Phase One investment in Penang, through its subsidiary Sustio Sdn Bhd, is US$120 million (RM508 million).

Simmtech Southeast Asia managing director Jeffery Chun said the construction of the factory on an 18-acre site in Batu Kawan, Penang, was currently ongoing.

“We have spent many years looking for the right location to expand our business. We are now operating in our home country Korea, as well as in China and Japan.

“Our future factory in Penang will enable us to bring our products closer to our customers in this region.

“The construction works are scheduled to complete by early next year. We hope to begin operating and making shipments from our new factory by the first half of next year,” he said in his speech during the investment announcement held virtually today.

Chun said Penang has a very well-established electronics industry ecosystem.

“We are able to access the resources and local businesses here. The state is full of great talents, and it has a strong customer base. Penang also has a dynamic and growing semiconductor industry.

“That was why we chose to invest in Penang,” he said.

Chun added the company recognised the current challenging pandemic period.

“We are in close communication with the local and Federal authorities, following the standard operating procedures (SOPs).

“However, we do not see major delays in our construction project,” he said.

He revealed that the Covid-19 pandemic brought more opportunities to the semiconductor market.

“There are increasing demands for data storages with the increase in online data transactions during this trying period.

“There are more demands for computer chips and mobile chips. This is a great period for the semiconductor industry as a whole,” he said.

On Simmtech’s investment in Batu Kawan, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the new facility could create 1,200 high-value jobs in engineering, manufacturing, and quality management.

“I am hopeful that with Simmtech’s arrival, this is the beginning of a new chapter with Korea – one of the prominent countries in the global technology sphere.

“The Penang government has placed emphasis on attracting companies with strong commitments in developing cutting-edge technologies and sustainable investing. Those commitments are part of our efforts to cement Penang’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing.

Chow said that Penang continues to be the country’s leading Electrical and Electronics (E&E) hub and a key pillar of Malaysia’s external trade.

“In 2020, Penang recorded a commendable RM310 billion of exports and RM110 billion of trade surplus; contributed 32% and 60% of the country’s said total, respectively.

“Notably, Penang’s E&E exports were valued at RM231 billion in 2020, which formed more than half of the country’s total,” he said.

According to New Straits Times, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said that Penang is aiming to enter Phase Three of NRP within the next month.

In order to do so, all vaccination centres (PPV) have to ensure that 40% of the state’s adult population will receive two doses of vaccine by next month.

“Based on the operations at the PPVs, the maximum dose capacity which we need and must achieve is 20,000 doses daily. The state Health Department, together with the state-level Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF), must ensure that this target is met,” Chow said.

The Chief Minister also urged Penangites to work together to ensure that the thresholds of Phase Three of NRP are met.

To ease into Phase Three of NRP, the average daily cases will have to drop to below 2,000. The public healthcare system also has to be at a satisfactory level, with the rate of bed usage in ICUs dropping to a sufficient level. Not to mention 40% of the country’s population have to receive the second dose of the vaccine.

So far, Penang had surpassed the vaccination rates of 10 per cent for the adult population with 10.1 per cent. The usage of Intensive Care Units (ICU) is at moderate level, while the Capacity to Respond is at a sufficient level.

Bandar Cassia on track to become a flourishing township in 15 years

June 29, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A great post about Malaysia.

The Bandar Cassia development plan, covering more than 6,000 acres, has not been affected by the epidemic. It is gradually progressing as planned and expects to bring a very strategic and modern city to Penang.

The Chief Executive Officer of Penang Development Corporation (PDC), Datuk Mohd. Bazid Abd. Kahar pointed out this in an online interview with “Buletin Mutiara” on Monday morning.

He said that Bandar Cassia is the third new town to emerge after the PDC developed Bayan Baru and Seberang Jaya in 1975 and 1976 respectively.

“This is a very long-term project, which is expected to take 15 years to complete. Once completed, it will be one of the most talked-about township development in Southeast Asia.”

An integrated and self-contained township

He said that unlike Bayan Baru and Seberang Jaya, Bandar Cassia will be built into an Eco-City, and gather development and facilities in various fields, including enterprises, education, medical care, housing, public spaces, and so on.

“We also want to make Bandar Cassia into a medical and digital technology hub in Penang.”

He pointed out that to be a medical hub, private hospitals, government hospitals and medical centers of international standards will be built in Batu Kawan.

“We are also planning to set up 5G infrastructure to ensure that this new town can meet the needs of today’s technology.”

Infrastructure to meet future needs

He went on to say that the various infrastructures of Bandar Cassia have taken into consideration future needs. For example, road construction will be more spacious, and there will be no road widening projects in the future that will cause inconvenience to residents.

“In any case, Penang is on the right track of development, and we will do our best to complete the Bandar Cassia development plan.”

There are more than 3000 acres of undeveloped land, but many developments have already been planned on the land.

Anticipating the future population of the area to reach 250,000, the goal is to build 45,000 to 50,000 housing units in Bandar Cassia.

For those who are looking to buy a property, Mohd Bakit encouraged them to choose Bandar Cassia for its strategic location and abundance of amenities. It will the best place to gather for work, eat, drink, and invest.

He gave an example. In the early days of the development of Bayan Baru, many people were reluctant to buy property there, thinking that it was a distance from George Town. Nowadays, housing prices in Bayan Baru have skyrocketed and the area is now fully developed.

All started from Tun Lim era

Mohd Bakit revealed that as early as 1989, the former Penang Chief Minister, Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu, had already planned to focus on the development of Seberang Perai. At that time, Tun Lim instructed the PDC to set up a special task force to investigate which area in Seberang Perai could be the focus of future development. He was one of the members of the working group at that time.

He said that after some studies and analysis done by the team, they identified Batu Kawan as a potential development focus. Batu Kawan was just a large palm oil plantation and scattered kampungs.

After a survey, it was found that the local people insisted on keeping the name Batu Kawan. Therefore, after naming the Bandar Cassia City for the development plan, the words “Batu Kawan” were still retained.

Changing business model to stimulate the local economy

He pointed out that the PDC used to focus on the construction of affordable housing, but in recent years it has changed its business model. While continuing to provide affordable housing, it is also building other types of housing plans.

He said that in addition to catering to the existing market demand, this move will also consolidate a better financial structure to provide more affordable housing in the future to benefit more Penangites.

“And we are also actively doing more corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities.”

He emphasized that although the mission of the PDC is to develop and build housing projects, its true mission is to stimulate local economy, thrive, and strive for better welfare for the people.

Business as usual during the epidemic

Despite the pandemic, Mohd Bakit said the development of Bandar Cassia has not been neglected. All the development preparation plans are still in progress, but how it was done is different now. For example, the form of face-to-face discussions and meetings has been changed to an online form.

PDC is taking advantage of this period of the epidemic to re-assess the budget of the entire development plan and at the same time adjusting the pace of the development plan. However, the overall plan is not affected by the epidemic.

Why PSR is important to Penang

June 14, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

An interesting article on Penang Malaysia.

Without the controversial Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project, the fishing community in the southern tip of the island will remain as they are.

Contrary to a recent statement, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the project would in fact improve the socio-economic situation of the fishermen.

Chow reiterated that through the PSR, now referred to as the Penang South Islands (PSI) project, Penang would create new land for industrial, commercial and residential development as well as create thousands of jobs.

He said the fishermen community would benefit from the Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) and improve their socio-economic situation.

He added that their children would benefit from education, training and job opportunities.

“Without the PSR, the fishermen will just remain as they are. Penang will lose the chance to develop and create jobs for its citizens and the future generation.

“As such, the Penang government hopes the people, including the deputy minister, can understand why PSR is important to Penang,” he said today.

Last Thursday, Che Abdullah Mat Nawi described the project as a “disaster to Penang fishermen” and claimed that it would destroy the national fisheries sector.

His response came a day after Chow’s, who said the Penang government would proceed with the PSR.

Chow again reiterated that Penang does not have to choose between the PSR and safeguarding the fishermen and food security.

He stressed that the state could do both because fishermen would still be able to fish when the reclamation begins.

He said the PSR’s construction would only start with one island, and the development will take about 20 years.

“During that period, fishermen will still have unobstructed access to the sea. Therefore, we disagree with the deputy minister that PSR will be a disaster to fishermen.

“Another initiative under the PSR project is a 250m wide navigation channel that will provide fishermen 24-hour access to the sea, regardless of the tide. Presently, the fishermen must wait for high tide to go to sea.

“The state government will ensure mitigation measures will be implemented according to the 72 conditions stated in the project’s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report by the Department of Environment (DoE). Ecology offset programmes that include mangrove planting, deployment of artificial reefs and fish aggregating devices, releases of fish and prawn fry, research funds and others will also be implemented.

“These measures will ensure the reclamation proceeds in a controlled manner to prevent pollution. The offset programmes will help create new habitats for marine life and boost fish stock, which contribute towards the sustainability of the fisheries sector,” he added.

Chow said, as mentioned before, fish landing in south Penang island only contributed four per cent to the whole state’s fish production in 2015, according to data from the Fisheries Department.

In the national context, fish landing from this area only made up about 0.2 per cent.

“We would also like to stress here that the area that contributed four per cent fish landing was not limited to only the PSR site. The whole fishing area for coastal fishermen in south Penang island is much larger and farther from the earmarked reclamation site. This means the fishermen will still have a wide area for their fishing activities.

“The state government does not intend to belittle the contributions of fishermen from the south Penang island fishermen units. They all contribute to the fisheries sector and the economy as well as provide food for the people.

“We appreciate the fishermen community and we want them to also progress together with the PSR. Therefore, we are implementing the SIMP to ensure fishermen from the Permatang Tepi Laut, Sungai Batu, Teluk Kumbar, Gertak Sanggul, Batu Maung, Sri Jerjak, Teluk Tempoyak, Pulau Betong and Kuala Sungai Burung units benefit from the project.

“We have said many times that the SIMP offers fishermen in south Penang island ex-gratia payments; aid in form of boats and engines; and four new fishermen jetties in Permatang Tepi Laut, Sungai Batu, Teluk Kumbar and Gertak Sanggul. It also offers business and job opportunities; training, free tuition, scholarships, and education opportunities for young fishermen and their children; housing initiatives; and others,” he said.

With all these measures, Chow noted, the state government could ensure development and environmental preservation, as well as safeguarding the welfare of all fishermen.

“We should not be forced to make only one choice,” he reiterated.

Penang South Islands project to go on despite objections

June 10, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

An informative post about Penang.

Aerial view of Island A reclamation site

Despite numerous objections from various parties, the Penang government will proceed with the Penang South Islands (PSI) project, formerly known as Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said it is not about choosing one or the other – referring to the PSI, the environment issue and fishermen welfare.

“We only disagreed on cancelling the project. We do not have to choose between PSI, and the environment and fishermen. Technology and engineering advancements can allow us to build PSI and preserve the environment and the people at the same time,” he said in a statement here today.

He said the state has been listening and agreed with the concerned parties on the importance of taking climate change into consideration and protecting the welfare of fisherman.

“This is why we are implementing so many mitigation measures, carrying out a socioeconomic plan for fishermen, and introducing green initiatives for the PSI development. Suffice to say that such a massive and comprehensive plan to improve the fishing community has never been done before anywhere in the country.”

Lately, various parties including Permatang Pauh Member of Parliament (MP) Nurul Izzah Anwar, Kepala Batas MP Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican, Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tunku Jaafar, Consumers Association of Penang, Sahabat Alam Malaysia, civil society groups including Penang Forum and fishermen’s groups had objected and called for the project to be cancelled.

However, Chow, who is also the Tanjong MP, said the people should consider the many socio-economic benefits PSI will bring to Penang that have greater value than monetary returns.

“We never denied that the project will have impact but we have always shared with the people how we intend to mitigate the impact, create new habitats for marine life, and provide more job and business opportunities for fishermen and other locals,” he said.

He explained that the job creation and economic growth stimulated by domestic and international investments will give financial stability and security to the people; while the green initiatives like low carbon developments and transportation, use of renewable energy, and provision of open spaces will contribute towards improving liveability and public wellbeing for decades to come.

“We strongly believe we are able to achieve all the above while also being fully compliant to the stringent approval conditions imposed by DoE (Department of Environmental). As such, no precedence should be set by the Government whereby approval for projects is reversed even though all approval conditions are being met,” he said.

Under the PSR project, the state government is proposing to reclaim about 1,821 hectares of the sea to build three islands south of the Penang International Airport towards the east around Permatang Damar Laut to create a land bank that will be utilised to finance the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP) project.

Slimhaus Technology to build 3-storey terrace houses from RM250,000 in Penang Island

May 9, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

An informative post on Malaysia.

Would you believe that a three-storey house with a build-up area of 800sq ft or 1,500sq ft can be built within four weeks and come with a selling price of RM250,000 and RM395,000 respectively in Penang Island?

Well, that is what a housing developer, Slimhaus Technology Sdn Bhd, plans to do at the end of this year or beginning of next year.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, who attended the preview launch of the proposed affordable housing project, congratulated Slimhaus for going to use the industrialised building system (IBS) technology to build a total of 199 terrace units on a 7.2-acre land at Jalan Pantai Acheh in Balik Pulau.

“We had built affordable landed houses before but for affordable landed and IBS type, this is probably the first project in Penang. By using the IBS system puts Slimhaus Technology Sdn Bhd amongst other developers who have chosen to use this technology.

“This (technology) is not new. But to be able to build and complete a three-storey house within four weeks using prefabricated components is something we have not yet seen here. So, congratulations for achieving this milestone and revolutionising the construction industry.

He added that prefabricated concrete homes had been built in Rifle Range and Noordin Street Ghaut.

State Local Government, Housing, Town and Country Planning Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo, who was also present, said he was delighted that Slimhaus was going to participate in building more affordable homes in the state.

“The provision of affordable housing is one of the priorities in the Penang2030 vision outlined by the chief minister some three years ago.

“The state has increased its target of building 180,000 affordable homes to 220,000 units by 2030.

“Until today, we have reached 117,000 units. Out of this figure, 40,000 units had already been built, 19,000 are being built and 58,000 have been approved to be built.

“I’ve been advising housing developers to build more affordable homes for Penangites.

“It’s not easy but from the overhang of 3,000 units in Penang, only 60 units were from the low-cost category.”

Slimhaus Technology chief executive officer Gerald Chin said his company has come a long way to realising his dream of building decent and affordable homes.

He said Slimhaus has plans to build 40 units (1,500sq ft) and 100 units (800sq ft) for the first phase and the remainder 55 units for the second phase. The three-storey terrace houses, he said, would be gated and freehold.

He expects the ground-breaking ceremony to be held at the end of this year or beginning of next year and the whole project would take eight months to complete.

So far, Chin said they have received 70% registration for the project which would be built first before the houses are sold. He said only those earning less than RM10,000 per month (or combined earnings) could only qualify for the affordable homes.

He said Slimhaus is the first company in Malaysia to use prefabricated steel frame for the project.

Also present at the preview launch ceremony were state Entrepreneurial Development, Trade and Industry Committee chairman Datuk Abdul Halim Hussain, who is also the Batu Maung assemblyman, Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin, and Slimhaus Technology directors Cheng Kwong Whee and Kua Soo Leong.
