Penang Targets RM 6.1 Billion Investments In 2011 To Attract High Value-Added, High-Tech, Knowledge Based Companies That Engender High-Income, Technology Transfer and Innovative Industries. <\/p>\n
The Penang State Government is targeting to achieve RM6.1 billion investments for this year, which is 50% of the record RM 12.2 billion in 2010 and topped the investment charts for the first time in Malaysia. A lower figure has been set to attract high value-added, high-tech, knowledge based companies that engender high-income, technology transfer and innovative industries. Additionally the Gartner September 2010 report indicates that worldwide semiconductor revenue growth is expected to decrease from 31.5% in 2010 to 4.6% in 2011. This means that the growth rate will taper off. <\/p>\n
At the same time, there is a need to \u201cdigest\u201d (consolidate) the record investments last year so that the workers and skills shortage engendered does not overspill and damage the industry. According to the latest MIDA, the first three months of 2011 saw a total of RM1.8 billion approved from 20 projects for Penang. <\/p>\n
Penang accounts for 15 percent of the total investments approved for the country of RM12.2 billion during January to March 2011. The FDI approved for Penang amounting to RM 991 million constitute 21 percent of the total FDI approved for Malaysia. Penang currently placed fourth in Malaysia. <\/p>\n
In 2010, Penang\u2019s RM12.2 billion investments are expected to generate 21,000 new jobs. With the current full employment situation in the State, the State authorities have to deal with various challenges such human resource and SME (small and medium enterprise) development. <\/p>\n
In response to these challenges, the State Government, through investPenang, has initiated several programmes like the SME Market Advisory, Resource and Training (SMART) Centre and the Career Assistance & Training (CAT) Centre to address the worker shortage. The SMART Centre was set up specifically to facilitate all SMEs in the State to expand their business through the provision of various activities carried out by the centre. <\/p>\n
Further the state government is also collaborating closely with the PSDC to address the skills shortages. Establishing the Penang Science Council has also demonstrated a commitment to train and retrain new talents as well as establish Penang as a centre of excellence for science and technology. <\/p>\n
The CAT Centre that was set up in early 2009 to assist the retrenched workers and the unemployed has been recently streamlined with a revised role and responsibility to attract and retain talents. The mission of CAT Centre is to rebrand Penang as the place to work and live, with a new motto \u201cMy Penang, My Workplace\u201d emphasising opportunity, economics and liveability. <\/p>\n
Penang can lead again by not only be a sweatshop but also the smartshop of the manufacturing industry in Malaysia. <\/p>\n

Kenyataan Media oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng pada 19 May 2011 di Invest Penang: <\/p>\n
Pulau Pinang menyasarkan RM6.1 bilion Pelaburan untuk tahun 2011 bagi menarik tambah nilai yang lebih tinggi, berteknologi tinggi, industri berasaskan pengetahuan yang dapat menghasilkan pendapatan yang lumayan, perpindahan teknologi serta industri yang inovatif. <\/p>\n
Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang menyasarkan untuk mencapai RM6.1 bilion dalam pelaburan untuk tahun ini di mana 50% daripada RM12.2 bilion pada tahun 2010 dan menduduki tangga pertama dalam pelaburan untuk pertama kalinya di Malaysia. Angka yang lebih rendah telah ditetapkan untuk menarik tambah nilai yang lebih tinggi, berteknologi tinggi, industri berasaskan pengetahuan yang dapat menjana pendapatan yang lebih tinggi, perpindahan teknologi dan industri yang inovatif. Tambahan daripada itu, laporan Gartner pada September 2010 menunjukkan bahawa pertumbuhan pendapatan semi konduktor dunia dijangka akan menurun daripada 31.5% pada tahun 2010 ke 4.6% pada tahun 2011. ini bermakna kadar pertumbuhan akan lebih meruncing. <\/p>\n
Pada masa yang sama, terdapat keperluan untuk memperkukuhkan (menggabung atau menyatukan) rekod pelaburan pada tahun lalu agar kekurangan tenaga kerja dan pekerja mahir tidak akan melimpah ruah dan merosakkan industri. Menurut laporan terbaru MIDA, pada tiga bulan pertama tahun 2011 telah menyaksikan keseluruhan RM1.8 bilion telah diluluskan daripada 20 projek untuk Pulau Pinang. <\/p>\n
Pulau Pinang menyumbang 15 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan pelaburan yang telah diluluskan untuk negara iaitu RM12.2 bilion dari Januari hingga Mac 2011. FDI yang telah diluluskan untuk Pulau Pinang sebanyak RM991 juta merupakan 21 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan FDI yang telah diluluskan untuk Malaysia. Ketika ini Pulau Pinang menduduki tempat keempat di Malaysia. <\/p>\n
Pada tahun 2010, RM12.2 bilion pelaburan di Pulau Pinang dijangka akan dapat menjana 21, 000 peluang pekerjaan baru. Dengan situasi negeri yang sifar pengangguran masa kini, pihak berkuasa negeri harus berhadapan dengan pelbagai cabaran seperti sumber manusia dan pembangunan SME (perusahaan kecil dan sederhana). <\/p>\n
Dalam menangani cabaran ini, Kerajaan Negeri melalui investPenang telah merancang beberapa program seperti penubuhan Penasihat Pemasaran SME, Pusat Sumber dan Latihan (SMART) dan Pusat Kerjaya dan Latihan (CAT) untuk mengatasi masalah kekurangan pekerja. Pusat SMART ditubuhkan secara khusus untuk memudahkan semua SME di negeri ini untuk mengembangkan perniagaan mereka melalui penyediaan kepelbagaian aktiviti yang dilakukan oleh pusat tersebut. <\/p>\n
Selain itu, Kerajaan Negeri juga turut bekerjasama secara erat dengan PSDC dalam usaha untuk mengatasi masalah kekurangan tenaga mahir. Pusat Pembangunan Kemahiran Pulau Pinang (PSDC) juga telah menunjukkan komitmen untuk melatih bakat-bakat baru serta menetapkan Pulau Pinang sebagai pusat kecemerlangan untuk perkembangan sains dan teknologi. <\/p>\n
Pusat Kerjaya dan Latihan (CAT) yang ditubuhkan pada awal tahun 2009 bagi membantu para penganggur mereka yang diberhentikan telah digubal semula peranan dan tanggungjawabnya bagi menarik dan mengekalkan bakat sedia ada. Misi pusat CAT adalah untuk menjenamakan semula Pulau Pinang sebagai tempat yang sesuai untuk bekerja dan hidup dengan moto baru \u2018My Penang, My Workplace\u2019 dengan menitikberatkan peluang, ekonomi dan taraf hidup. <\/p>\n
Pulau Pinang boleh kembali memimpin dengan bukan sahaja sebagai \u2018sweatshop\u2019 tetapi juga \u2018smartshop\u2019 dalam industri perkilangan di Malaysia. <\/p>\n
