Penang steps up digital push


TURNING George Town’s heritage enclave into a hub for digital economy and gazetting Penang’s Middle Bank into a marine sanctuary have become among the latest focus of Penang2030, a vision developed by Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow shortly after he took office in 2018.

In the second phase of the vision’s implementation -- dubbed Accelerating Penang2030 -- plans for attracting digital tech houses to operate out of the pre-war buildings of the Unesco World Heritage Site will be given prime focus.
