Chief Minister of Penang
Significant ini�a�ves We launched the cashless ini�a�ve in collabora�on with banking and non-banking ins�tu�ons to migrate to e-payment in public markets. 1,507 merchants have given their support. Covid-19 has also accelerated the process, driving e-commerce and cashless payment beyond our imagina�on. Penang’s Smart City vision As we embark on this smart city journey, we will see more efficiency. We have Smart Government and Smart Economy, because of digitalisa�on and IoT. This will provide opportuni�es for industries to upscale technologically. Community Engagement Stakeholders’ engagement is very important. Without community par�cipa�on, any smart city ini�a�ves will not be successful, because ul�mately it is for their benefit. I think today we have 73 smart city ini�a�ves to engage communi�es, to let them know how they can play a role in making smart city a success.
