PENANG has about seven years to realise the Penang2030 vision, says its Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
He had rolled out the vision to develop the state, after just three months of becoming the Chief Minister in 2018.
“Several targets under the Penang2030 vision were set to enable Penang to achieve great things, which is in line with my responsibility as Chief Minister.
“I have to fulfil my responsibility and I look forward to seeing Penang rise to greater heights,” he said.
The Penang2030 vision focuses on improving liveability, economy, civic participation and balanced development to achieve a “Family-Focused, Green and Smart State that Inspires the Nation”.
State publisher Buletin Mutiara reported Chow saying that job opportunities, economic and social developments, and the people’s quality of life remained the state government’s priority.
“We are confident that this 12-year plan (Penang2030 vision), which was initiated in 2018, is achievable,” he said.
He expressed gratitude to all stakeholders involved in assisting the state towards the Penang2030 vision.
“It requires the effort and hard work from all relevant agencies and local communities to realise the Penang2030 vision,” he said before opening the Paya Terubong Penang2030 centre in Relau.
Paya Terubong assemblyman Yeoh Soon Hin, in his speech, said Penang2030 centre promoted community participation in realising the Penang2030 vision.
“The centre can be used as an interaction platform with the community,” he said.
Both Chow and Yeoh also distributed basic necessities to needy families at the event.
