First and foremost, I wish to express my warm greetings and appreciation to YB Senator Dato’ Sri Idris Jala and his team for being here today to present an overview of Greater Penang Masterplan(GPM) We are grateful that the State and Federal Government are able to work closely together in bringing about a programme of change and transformation for the people of Penang. The formulation of GPM shall encapsulate initiatives and ambition to bring sustainable economic growth with social equality that is essentially:-<\/p>\n
-Pro-growth
\n -Pro-jobs;
\n -Pro-talent
\n -Pro-welfare; and
\n -Pro-poor. <\/p>\n
To this end, the GPM must include a minimum wage package for Penang. Whilst the level can be subject to discussions with all stakeholders, a minimum wage level must be implemented in Penang soon. The GPM must draw policies and projects that allows Penang to attain our aspirations to be an international and intelligent city. Human talent is a key resource. So is overcoming the infrastructure bottlenecks and inadequacies not just in roads and physical communications but also digital broadband. <\/p>\n
Penang as an international and intelligent city must also be livable by addressing the 3Cs issue of crime, cleanliness and traffic congestion. Penang has made much headway but unless the GPM attending to the needs of 3Cs, any success will only be limited. <\/p>\n
I hope the joint effort between the State and the Federal Government with other key stakeholders identified will be able to bring in high-value added activities while positioning Penang as a international business and service hub. This includes attraction of talents, building creativity and innovation in science and technology, establishing as an international and liveable city, improving transportation and infrastructure, promoting green spaces, better connectivity and overall improvement of quality of life. <\/p>\n
It is clear that Penang has achieved much in recent years. To name a few, Penang led the investment charts with RM12.26 billion of Malaysia’s total investment of RM42.7 billion or 36% of Malaysia\u2019s FDI; the first green state in Malaysia; the highest reduction in crime index(27%) in the country, top in medical tourism with 60% of Malaysia\u2019s receipts, Penang’s effort to protect, preserve and promote UNESCO World Heritage City of George Town and many other achievements. <\/p>\n
Penang is buzzing with excitement and is described as the most happening city in the country. This can only happen with the co-operation from the Federal government where we must harness the energy, expertise and entrepreneurship of Penangites from all sectors to make the GPM a success. <\/p>\n
The state government has demonstrated our sincerity for an effective and mature working relationship with the Federal government by discarding our Penang Industrial Blueprint 2011-2015 for the GPM. Last but not least, the State Government of Penang is looking forward for a greater cooperation with PEMANDU and relevant key stakeholders to materialize a programme focused on the priorities of PEOPLE of Penang. <\/p>\n
WELCOME SPEECH CHIEF MINISTER OF PENANG TUAN LIM GUAN ENG BRIEFING ON GREATER PENANG TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME (GPM) , 2 JUNE 2011 (THURSDAY), 8.30 AM \u2013 10.30 AM<\/em><\/p>\n ———– BM Translation ———— <\/p>\n Teks Ucapan Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng di taklimat ‘Greater Penang Transformation Programme'(GPM) pada 2 Jun 2011 : <\/p>\n Pakej Pembayaran Upah Minimum Harus Menjadi Aspek Penting Dalam \u2018Greater Penang Masterplan\u2019 (GPM). <\/strong><\/p>\n Pertama sekali, saya ingin mengalu-alukan Y.B Senator Dato\u2019 Sri Idris Jala dan pasukan beliau dan merakamkan ucapan penghargaan kerana sudi hadir meluangkan masa menyampaikan gambaran tentang \u2018Greater Penang Masterplan\u2019 (GPM). Kami bersyukur kerana Kerajaan Negeri dan Kerajaan Persekutuan dapat berganding bahu dalam membawa perubahan dan transformasi untuk warga Pulau Pinang. Formula GPM akan membawa inisiatif dan cita-cita untuk pertumbuhan ekonomi yang pesat dan berterusan dengan kesaksamaan sosial mengikut dasar-dasar berikut:<\/p>\n – Pro-pertumbuhan Bagi tujuan ini, GPM harus menyediakan pakej pembayaran upah yang minimum bagi Pulau Pinang. Manakala tahap pembayaran adalah tertakluk kepada perbincangan yang bakal diadakan bersama dengan pemegang amanah yang berkepentingan (stakeholders) untuk menetapkan tahap upah minimum di Pulau Pinang tidak lama lagi. GPM harus menggariskan dasar dan projek yang membolehkan Pulau Pinang untuk mencapai aspirasinya menjadi bandaraya antarabangsa dan bandaraya intelek. Bakat menjadi salah satu sumber utama. Begitu juga dalam mengatasi kekurangan infrastruktur dan jalanraya serta komunikasi fizikal termasuklah sistem digital jalur lebar. <\/p>\n Pulau Pinang sebagai bandaraya antarabangsa dan bandaraya intelek juga harus menjadi sebuah bandaraya yang sesuai didiami dengan mengatasi masalah 3C\u2019s iaitu Crime, Cleanliness and Traffic Congestion (Jenayah, Kebersihan, Kesesakan Lalulintas). Pulau Pinang telah mencapai banyak kemajuan, akan tetapi seandainya GPM mampu mengatasi 3C\u2019s, maka kejayaan akan terbantut. <\/p>\n Saya berharap agar usahasama antara Kerajaan Negeri dengan Kerajaan Persekutuan bersama stakeholders yang dipilih akan memberi nilai tambah serta meletakkan Pulau Pinang sebagai hab perniagaan dan perkhidmatan bertaraf antarabangsa. Ini termasuklah daya tarikan untuk bakat-bakat baru, pembinaan kreativiti dan inovasi dalam perkembangan sains dan teknoligi, mewujudkan bandaraya bertaraf antarabangsa dan sesuai didiami, meningkatkan mutu sistem pengangkutan dan infrastruktur, mempromosikan ruangan hijau, saling berhubungkait dan meningkatkan kualiti hidup secara menyeluruh. <\/p>\n Adalah jelas bahawa Pulau Pinag telah mencapai pelbagai kejayaan dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini. Antaranya, Pulau Pinang mendahului carta pelaburan negara dengan nilai pelaburan berjumlah RM12.26 bilion daripada keseluruhan jumlah pelaburan Malaysia RM42.7 bilion atau 36% nilai Pelaburan Langsung Asing (FDI); negeri hijau pertama di Malaysia; kadar pengurangan indeks jenayah tertinggi (27%) dalam negara; penyumbang utama kepada pelancongan perubatan negara iaitu 60% daripada nilai pendapatan Malaysia, kesungguhan Pulau Pinang untuk melindungi, memulihara dan mempromosi Tapak Warisan Dunia UNESCO \u2013 George Town dan pelbagai lagi. <\/p>\n Pulau Pinang penuh dengan kegirangan dan diiktiraf sebagai negeri yang paling meriah di Malaysia. Hal ini hanya akan menjadi kenyataan apabila Kerajaan Persekutuan memberi kerjasama dan kita harus memanfaatkannya sama ada melalui penggunaan tenaga kerja, kemahiran dan keusahawanan warga Pulau Pinang dalam semua sektor bagi menjayakan GPM. <\/p>\n Kerajaan Negeri telah menzahirkan ketulusan untuk menjalinkan kerjasama yang efektif dengan Kerajaan Persekutuan dan sanggup mengetepikan \u2018Penang Industrial Blueprint\u2019 2011-2015 demi GPM. Akhir sekali, Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang berharap agar dapat bekerjasama dengan PEMANDU dan stakeholders yang berkenaan untuk mewujudkan program yang memberi fokus kepada warga Pulau Pinang. <\/p>\n
