The Penang exco line-up has been unveiled.
PKR’s Batu Maung assembly member Mohamad Abdul Hamid, is deputy chief minister I. Jagdeep Singh of DAP is the new Penang deputy chief minister II.
Let’s just say that the Penang public and civil society will be watching their every move very carefully, especially in housing, sustainable mobility and the environment.
Quickly come up with a sustainable local plan. We have waited far too long for that one.
Scrap the ecologically damaging reclamation south of Penang Island.
Don’t succumb to corporate capture and developers’ greed. Build more genuinely affordable housing, ie not more than three times the annual disposal income of the bottom 40% and the middle class. Examine why there is a glut especially in higher end housing.
Free Malaysia Today:
The 11-man exco lineup, which includes seven who are serving in the state government for the first time, comprises eight DAP representatives, two from PKR, and one from Umno.
Aside from Jagdeep, the other two excos from the previous lineup are Penang chief minister Chow Kon Yeow, who is taking the finance, economy, land and communication portfolio, and DAP’s Tanjong Bunga assemblyman Zairil Khir Johari who heads the infrastructure, transport, and digital development committee.
DAP’s Paya Terubong assemblyman Wong Hon Wai, who is holding the tourism and creative economy portfolio, was previously an exco from 2008 to 2013.
The five first-time excos from DAP are Sungai Pinang assemblyman Lim Siew Khim (social development, welfare, and non-Islamic religious affairs); Jawi assemblyman Jason H’ng (local government, and town and country planning); Padang Lalang assemblyman Daniel Gooi (youth, sports, and health); and Perai assemblyman S Sundarajoo (housing and environment committee).
Fahmi Zainol, PKR’s Pantai Jerejak assemblyman, will take on the agrotechnology, food security and cooperative development portfolio.
What should their priorities be?

Penang Exco should make “15-Minute City” a priority
The concept of 15-minute cities — where a person’s daily needs in a city are accessible within a 15-minute walk, bike or transit ride from their home. It’s been picked up by many cities to guide urban planning and design.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=McGyONofhi4&feature=youtu.be
This should be adopted by Penang Exco to help reduce carbon footprint. Public transport is the way to go to cut road congestion!
how to adopt when public transport is run by opposition party or different party. that is why LGE wants the tram and LRT. it is be operated by the state. if no better road transport, state has to built more and more roads and there is no transit centre.
Major cities around the world are also exploring innovative ways to reduce their carbon footprint. From green energy to sustainable farming and tourism, several cities are embracing a new urban planning concept – the 15-minute city. The idea is that everything we need – workplaces, shops, parks, schools – should be within a 15-minute walk or cycle.

To improve, state or local gomen run the service not sapu by private or central gomen

Penang need to improve the walkability aspect in the heritage zone. There is a lack of proper pedestrian walkway, very often uneven surfaces with steps along the way.
Have you lately seen the condition of our public transport? On its way to bus graveyard? Poor maintenance? Now they are talking about underground LRT stations. How about the Maintenance culture?
I am quite satisfied with the conditions of RapidPenang buses as I do not have to spend money on car ownership – paying road tax, parking, petrol & maintenance.
Cheap is one thing, shaking bones is another. …
Transporter expects condition (eg engine or interior) of the buses like his personal car’s.
Be real. It’s public transport. Public not private.
Orso the way they drive. School days used to call the driver ace. Very fast and going around the bends everyone also bend.
Thank you dsn, from your comment, we now understand better about the maintenance culture by the transport companies and the practice of civility when using public transportation by some locals.
You cannot compare the quality of a private school and a public school, the same analogy for the public/private transport.
While a shaking bus may be no thrill to the elites, it serves its purpose to transport B40 from A to B, with or without air con, stereo music, GPS etc
” it serves its purpose to transport B40 from A to B……”. You think the same can be applied for education, I mean for B40. If you say no, then the next question is why not, based on your reasoning. They are after all B40 people, right?
Maintence is not “profitable”. Better to let public assets break down, and then undertake big new contracts.
Yap, believe these mentality started after some Wall street people came up with the slogan, ” Greed Is Good”
Ask who introduce the culture of tidak apa and semua pun boleh?? If not can kau tim?
All ministers, cm bm and exco should take public transport to work. During work they can use company’s cars
https://www.swarco.com/mobility-future/sustainable-mobility-examples-definition
Sustainable mobility is a concept for transforming transport from an ecological point of view. The aim is to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in such a way that the ecosystem can regenerate.
So while we still have a pair of healthy legs, optimize healthy life and environment by walking if possible over driving vehicles.
The government has introduced myBAS Konsesi, which provides free stage bus rides for OKU, senior citizens and school-going children in Seremban, JB and Ipoh.
https://paultan.org/2023/08/16/mybas-konsesi-introduced-in-seremban-ipoh-jb-free-bus-rides-for-oku-senior-citizens-and-children/
When this scheme is implemented in Penang, hopefully senior citizens and retirees can ditch their cars and adopt public bus
When is introduced in penang? So is when? Anyway seniors travel off peak. They should give all when they travel from 9.30 to 4.0pm. Otherwise is hantu rapid
The Madani government is putting in public transportation like new buses in major cities. It is actually a prelude to increasing the RON95 price as the government could not afford to subsidise for too long. If you belong to B40 in the city, better learn to adopt public transportation like MRT or buses, not a time to consider buying a car if you are planning to.
Selective cities? Penang last city? Transport should be taken over by state not central gomen. Every house pay tax on transport and public transport belongs to public so they take public transport more than private cars
Penang had Rapid Penang long before other states are having MyBas.
“Every house pay tax on transport”?
Do you forget your RON95 is heavily subsidised?
The government should reduce subsidy to RON95 and channel the money to fund public buses purchase and drivers’ salary.
Minyak is central gomen. But public transport should be state but dumno goes and sapu all..if state tax the houses according to its valve, they will not have 3 or 4 cars. Fine if they want to. But since state transport is cheaper, they will try to use it or let the poorer ones benefit. Minyak tends to help rich to become rich And poor poorer
Better maintain RON 95 subsidy. Public buses are so poorly maintained.
The other part is the prices of everything going up across the board.
Increase 10 sen per litre of RON95.
Negligible little impact to most motorists. Those impacted one b40 will be forced to use public bus.
Use the money to support free public bus for b40.
Central gomen throw $$$ to Klang Valley..Penang have to wait last. But if belongs to state, see if PN wants to use bullock cart?
You say Negligible impact , but what about those from the various business communities? What do you think they are going do? And when they do, how do you think that is going to impact our already impacted a little by 10sen, Rakyat?
You think oil is infinite? Even there is a limit to amount of aqua. When is more, you can reduce the price. But is less, you still want to keep the same price?
Can buy new or 5th hand used car. Car maintenance chip chip? No need to change wheels and to have wheel balancing? Chip chip? Parking chip chip? Park far away in taman taman. Tun Lang ronda rond for foc park space to buy one ton mee.
Do you do that ? What you are saying above ? Do you do that ? You sound like a man of similar experience.
By reducing RON95 subsidy, more money could then be channeled to maintain public buses.
Prices of everything will go up with salary and rental increase – fixed cost of doing business.
How long can maintain? Ketuan can keep pumping but flow but is seawater. Cars run on seawater?
what is wrong spending 15 min to walk the first or last mile? But it is the reliability and comfort of public transport, Some come back like been to the rough sea. Buses jerk and passengers follow to bend when it corners.
But what if one has to carry a heavy load of purchases. Then what?
Your description of public transport sounds more like those buses from the sixties to the eighties.
Don’t start with excuses or you will never adopt public transportation. Learn to adapt and get used to some inconveniences to save the earth, while saving some money yourself.
60s to 80s even better. Now with the congestion, the bus go and then stop very often
They jerk when they brake and pull you back when accelerate? Even this happen in passenger cars. You have taken a bus for over 20 years if you can said happen in 80s?
Yes, also use to take a sampan at Bagan Dalam to cross the Perai river to catch a train at the Perai railway station, back then to go south. How far back do you think this was?
You run sampan service if no one operates now? You might as welcome join the bechah men?
Seems like you still ‘shake, rattle and roll’?
The new electric bus has USB port to charge you phone while you Tik Tok.
Gimmick. How late lo ng can you charge? How about those standing? Then young ones will not give way to seniors like Alpha or rakyat 888? If free wifi, they take buses to enjoy tik tok. Stand also no problem as long they can twitter or tik tok. You think LRT cannot install wifi?
How often you have to carry heavy load of purchases? Take Grab if your purchase items are heavy.
Anyway a retiree or senior citizen can plan his/her purchase when taking public bus. No need to buy too much at any one time. Good to exercise some brain power when making adjustments.
Those who had a “heavy load of purchases” traveled by means other than crowded buses.
Shop from neighborhood shop like 99Speedmart. No need to go far with heavy pilurchase. Use some brain.
Well, did use our brain, found that there was no 99 speedmart or anything similar in our neighborhood. These are found either in some supermarkets or in town, quite far from our neighborhood. What to do then?
99 speedmart chip chip? You have a share? What to do then? Go and figure and up to you. We think and we have ways to solve them. If fact very happy even the supermart is so me distance away
Before every small housing area had a small ‘Kedai Runcit’ or 2, walking distance, filled with daily essentials, Some more can buy on credit with 555 note book, pay end every week or end of the month also can.
Now some say must use brain. Another say go and figure. Those days people smile, friendly and helpful. Now….?
99Speedmart is definitely cheaper … As it target different segment of market and neighbourhood shoppers.
Neighborhood minimarts should have 80% of your grocery needs. Can also use Shopee or Panda online purchase for home delivery. Learn to be flexible. As you grow older, less wants since basic needs can be easily fulfilled by neighbourhood shops. If you have good neighbors, can also ask them to help you with purchase – good to have friends around. Some friendly provision shops also provide free delivery.
Move to new neighborhood with convenient shopping and dining experience.
Richie Rich Penang folks prefer to shop in Gurney plaza/Paragon to show their status and differentiate from the B40. Paying higher price is ok for them.
Senior and retirees buy small quantity each time, take bus during off peak hours to avoid the crowd and traffic jam. Need to adjust your habit as you grow older, no time pressure and take life easy away from hustle bustle.
The new MyBas in JB are China-made electric bus – passengers do not feel engine vibration and there is no engine noise. Every seat has usb port for charging phone. Go see yourself before making unfair and outdated comments based on your past experience with Hin buses of Penang.

It is not the petrol or electric. It is the driving. You dont drive? With congestion, when stop, you accelerate and then slam on the brakes when cars stop in front and then accelerate again when the trafic crawls. Even if is electric, it will drain out fast. The battery would not last. You need EVERREADY heavy duty – Meow!!
Difference between a LRT or ART on road is LRT is not sharing it’s roadway with others. ART has to share with you, Ali, Samy, Ah Beng, rats, cats and dogs.
Walking is an important way to maintain the strength of bones.
Experts say, walking 10,000 steps is a form of low-to-moderate intensity cardio exercise. Thus, it can be equivalent to other low-moderate intensity cardio exercises like cycling, elliptical cross trainer, swimming and aquatic exercises.
No need to pay gym membership fees
Walking just 4,000 steps a day may reduce your risk of dying from any cause, the largest analysis to date suggests – although the more you walk, the greater the health benefits.

Also use common sense when reading whatever self-proclaimed experts and industry mouth-pieces claim. They want you to avoid sunlight and take Calcium with Vitamin D. Remember the farmers working for milllenia in South and South-East Asia to bring us food.
People now cannot think and let advertisements do the thinking for them.
Also today many people still prefer to listen to Ang MOH.
Mat Salleh skin cannot handle UV light so they avoid sunlight but take vitamin D pills. So do not just follow Ang moh’s prescription. Ang MOH asked you to eat kiwi fruit or avocado, but we know our local fruits are equally nutritious with much lower price.
Sustainable is anti-“development”. Less cars, roads, flyovers, tolls, fuel, taxes, accidents, repairs, hill tunnels, undersea tunnels, loans, insurance…
HK YouTuber Shares His Experience Living In KL, Says The Traffic Is Really Bad

Same thing could soon happen in Penang?
Penang must curb car population before it is too late. RapidPenang must give free rides to Seniors like the Johor MyBas initiative.
Some Seniors are look and behave like Juniors. Or Juniors claim to be like Seniors. Like Alpha and omega and rakyat?? Gives discount between peak hours and after 7 pm. And more to Seniors
HK people if really got money would have migrated to Singapore. But those cannot afford came to Malaysia to complain this and that. They should adapt to local norms of traffic jam as the cars and petrol here are cheap compared to those in Hong Kong!

Strange isn’t it? How DAP claims to be multiracial but they work along the race line of Malay , Indian and Chinese with 3 separate CMs, each suppose to look after their respective race.
Why can’t there be just a CM and a Deputy CM along with all their MPs and State assembly people covering all Penangites of all races minus the race identity. Should this not be the true and actual multiracial conduct? And why should they apply quota based on race?
nothing strange. They have to counter the sustained lies and hatred along racial and religious lines, which the poisonous snakes get away with.

Future plan to build underground LRT station right smack somewhere in the middle of Georgetown coastal city.
Idea of underground tunnel is to drain excess water away
You love and want a station far away from the city? From there, you walk and ask people to walk to city? You have stations and stops distance away? Your new 2023 planning style?
You don’t love to want a station far away from city and stop distance away? From there you can talk to people, many people along the way. You don’t want to make this your 2023 all the way to 2050 planning style?
Of course, you never step out of Penang? Every city has a central station. If don’t have a central station, they will drive into the city.

Hello DCM 2 of Penang, you celebrated with a cake on being Appointed as DCM 2 of Penang? Well anyway, your theme board (in the picture) says you were elected as DCM 2 which we public believe we did not, if that was what it was meant to mean.
You were in fact Appointed as DCM2 by your party leaders and you were Elected as a state assemblyman by the public/Penangites. Correct or not?
Selamat menyambut Hari Merdeka 2023.
Setia kepada Negara
