Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng in Komtar, George Town On 13 July 2014.<\/p>\n
During my recent tourism mission to Hong Kong, I observed that many economies that successfully transformed themselves into a high-income developed economy, share common critical success factors(CSF) with Hong Kong. Amongst the common CSFs are rule of law, open markets, good governance, Integrity in leadership, focus on building and retaining human talent, a livable city that is clean, green safe and healthy; as well as building democratic institutions that respects diversity and human dignity.<\/p>\n
Also there is a similar institution like the ICAC in Hong Kong to fight corruption effectively. Penang can learn, emulate and adopt the same CSFs to achieve our vison of becoming an international and intelligent city that is developed with a high-income economy. However, Penang aspires to have our own unique and special identity. We do not want to be a carbon copy of Seoul, Hong Kong or Singapore.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Penang can stand out and be different. Our principal key asset that makes Penang different and attractive is our street food, rated by many as the best in the world. My conversation with the Hong Kong tourism industry reaffirmed the important role played by street food or hawker fare as the essential ingredient that defines Penang and is our top draw for tourists.<\/p>\n
Penang\u2019s famous street food not only separates the flavor of Penang from other tourist destinations but also infuses life and spirit into our cultural diversity and multi-ethnic heritage. For this reason, we must retain the quality and the unique flavor of Penang food cooked by locals.<\/p>\n
To protect, preserve and promote our top attraction of hawker food, the Penang state government is inviting public feedback on whether banning foreigners from cooking at hawker stalls can ensure that our favourite hawker food remains the same and retains the unique penang flavour. This proposed prohibition only applies to foreigners and not Malaysians and only to hawker stalls and not restaurants. Such proposed prohibition is also consistent with the legal rule that hawker stall licenses can only be given to Malaysian citizens and not foreigners.<\/p>\n
The proposed prohibition does not apply to those foreign workers who help in serving customers or washing up. It seeks only to bar foreigners from cooking at local hawker stalls. I regret that some mainstream media has falsely distorted and twisted my suggestion to examples of banning non-Penangites from being a hawker in Penang or \u201cbanning those not Hainanese from cooking Hainanese chicken\u201d or that hawkers can not employ foreigners as helpers. <\/p>\n
The Penang state government is jealously protective of our famous Penang hawker food. We are concerned at famous foodstalls in other towns and cities in Malaysia being cooked by foreigners leading to a decline in the taste and quality. Whilst this is still not a problem in Penang, this latest proposal and request for public feedback is an initiative to prevent our unique Penang flavours from \u201cmutating\u201d to a foreign taste if foreign workers are allowed to cook at hawker stalls.<\/p>\n
The public and hawkers can give their feedback to the two local councils Mahlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang(MPPP) and Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai(MPSP), who will making announcements on how to collect public feedback. Both local councils will also take into account the public feedback gathered in the local newspapers.<\/p>\n

Kenyataan Media Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng di Komtar, George Town pada 13 Julai 2014.<\/p>\n
Menjemput maklum balas orang ramai sama ada mengharamkan pekerja asing dari memasak di gerai penjaja boleh memastikan makanan kegemaran kita akan tetap sama dan masih mengekalkan rasa Pulau Pinang yang unik.<\/p>\n
Semasa misi pelancongan ke Hong Kong baru-baru ini, saya perhatikan bahawa kebanyakan ekonomi yang berjaya berubah menjadi sebuah ekonomi maju berpendapatan tinggi, berkongsi faktor-faktor kejayaan kritikal yang sama atau critical success factors (CSF) dengan Hong Kong. Antara CSF bersama ialah kedaulatan undang-undang, pasaran terbuka, tadbir urus yang baik, integriti dalam kepimpinan, tumpuan kepada pembinaan dan pengekalan modal insan terbaik, sebuah bandar yang sesuai didiami yang bersih, hijau selamat dan sihat; serta membina institusi demokratik yang menghormati kepelbagaian dan maruah manusia.<\/p>\n
Juga terdapat institusi seperti ICAC di Hong Kong untuk membanteras rasuah dengan berkesan. Pulau Pinang boleh belajar, mencontohi dan meluluskan CSF yang sama bagi mencapai visi kita untuk menjadi sebuah bandar antarabangsa dan pintar yang dibangunkan dengan ekonomi berpendapatan tinggi. Walau bagaimanapun, Pulau Pinang bercita-cita untuk mempunyai identiti yang unik dan istimewa. Kita tidak mahu menjadi salinan karbon Seoul, Hong Kong atau Singapura.<\/p>\n
Pulau Pinang boleh menonjol dan berbeza. Aset utama kita yang menjadikan Pulau Pinang berbeza dan menarik adalah makanan jalanan kita, dikira ramai sebagai yang terbaik di dunia. Perbualan saya dengan industri pelancongan Hong Kong mengesahkan peranan penting yang dimainkan oleh makanan jalanan atau penjaja sebagai intisari penting yang mentakrifkan Pulau Pinang dan merupakan tarikan pelancong.<\/p>\n
Makanan penjaja terkenal di Pulau Pinang bukan sahaja memisahkan rasa Pulau Pinang dari destinasi pelancongan lain tetapi juga menyemarakkan kehidupan dan semangat dalam kerencaman budaya dan warisan pelbagai kaum kita. Atas sebab ini, kita mesti mengekalkan kualiti dan rasa unik makanan Pulau Pinang yang dimasak oleh penduduk tempatan.<\/p>\n
Bagi melindungi, memelihara dan mempromosi makanan penjaja, Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang mempelawa maklum balas orang ramai sama ada mengharamkan pekerja asing dari memasak di gerai penjaja boleh memastikan makanan penjaja kegemaran kita akan kekal sama dan mengekalkan rasa Pulau Pinang yang unik. Larangan dicadangkan hanya terpakai kepada orang asing dan bukan rakyat Malaysia dan hanya untuk gerai-gerai penjaja, bukannya restoran. Cadangan larangan itu juga selaras dengan peraturan undang-undang yang menyatakan lesen gerai hanya boleh diberikan kepada rakyat Malaysia dan bukannya rakyat asing.<\/p>\n
Larangan yang dicadangkan tidak terpakai bagi pekerja asing yang membantu dalam melayan pelanggan atau kerja-kerja membasuh. Cadangan ini bertujuan hanya melarang warga asing dari memasak di gerai penjaja tempatan. Saya kesal kerana beberapa media arus perdana telah memutarbelit cadangan saya bahawa kononnya saya mahu mengharamkan mereka yang bukan rakyat Pulau Pinang daripada menjadi penjaja di Pulau Pinang atau \u201cmengharamkan mereka yang bukan Hainan dari memasak ayam Hainan\u201d atau penjaja tidak boleh mengambil warga asing sebagai pembantu.<\/p>\n
Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang dengan penuh perhatian melindungi penjaja makanan Pulau Pinang yang sedia terkenal. Kita bimbang kerana banyak gerai makanan yang terkenal di bandar dan pekan di seluruh Malaysia kini dimasak oleh orang asing dan membawa kepada penurunan dalam rasa dan kualiti. Walaupun ini masih tidak menjadi masalah di Pulau Pinang, cadangan terbaru ini dan permintaan untuk mendapat maklum balas adalah satu inisiatif untuk memastikan rasa Pulau Pinang yang unik tidak \u201cbermutasi\u201d kepada rasa asing jika pekerja asing dibenarkan untuk memasak di gerai-gerai penjaja.<\/p>\n
Orang ramai dan penjaja boleh memberi maklum balas mereka kepada dua majlis tempatan Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang (MPPP) dan Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai (MPSP), yang akan membuat pengumuman tentang bagaimana untuk mengumpul maklum balas awam. Kedua-dua majlis tempatan ini juga akan mengambil kira maklum balas orang ramai yang tersiar dalam akhbar-akhbar tempatan.<\/p>\n
