Join us tomorrow, Thursday, 3 March 2022, at 10:30 AM (+8 GMT) for an exclusive briefing on Penang Strategic Plan (Penang2030). This briefing will be conducted by the Chief Minister of Penang, YAB Chow Kon Yeow.

The Penang Government recently presented the Penang Strategic State Development Plan (Penang2030). Penang is now gearing up for the state development vision of Penang2030 as a family-focused green and smart state to inspire the nation. In this vision, there are four (4) main themes, with the fourth theme of investing in a public infrastructure environment vital in the development of a holistic transport network.

The challenges Covid-19 poses have provided further motivation for Penang as a whole to realise the objectives of Penang2030. The Penang state government established Digital Penang amid the pandemic to align diverse digitalisation efforts within the state apparatus and initiated certain institutional reforms to improve policy-making processes and proper monitoring of project implementation.
