  • Summary of Consumer Feedback on the Draft Copper Withdrawal Code
    Project no. 13.07/16502 Public version Summary of consumer feedback on the draft Copper Withdrawal Code Date of publication: 6 August 2020 About this document This document summarises the feedback we received from consumers on our draft Copper Withdrawal Code. We published the draft Code on 20 May 2020 and invited consumers to tell us their views, including by completing an online feedback form that asked questions about some key aspects of the Code. Feedback closed on 17 July 2020 and overall 148 New Zealanders provided us with feedback. This document includes: • A foreword from the Telecommunications Commissioner; • A summary of the key themes from the feedback we received; • A copy of the information provided to consumers and the questions on the feedback form; and • A copy of each completed feedback form. We note that some of the feedback was marked as confidential, so we have removed these from this document, however all feedback has contributed to the key themes. Foreword Kia ora, Ngā mihi mo to whakaaro. Thank you for submitting your views on the draft 111 Contact and Copper Withdrawal Codes. These draft Codes are important for consumers: ➢ The draft 111 Contact Code ensures that vulnerable consumers, or persons on their behalf, have reasonable access to an appropriate way to contact the 111 emergency service in the event of a power failure. ➢ The draft Copper Withdrawal Code includes the minimum protections for consumers required by law that need to be met before Chorus can stop supplying copper phone and broadband services. The Code cannot stop the phasing out of the copper network, as New Zealand moves to fibre, but will help ensure a smoother transition between networks.

  • Than a Free Bus Ride”—Exploring Young Adults’ Perceptions of Free Bus Services Using a Qualitative Approach: a Case Study of Penang, Malaysia
    sustainability Article “More Than a Free Bus Ride”—Exploring Young Adults’ Perceptions of Free Bus Services Using a Qualitative Approach: A Case Study of Penang, Malaysia Nur Sabahiah Abdul Sukor 1,* , Surachai Airak 1 and Sitti Asmah Hassan 2 1 School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Nibong Tebal 14300, Penang, Malaysia; [email protected] 2 School of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai 81310, Johor, Malaysia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Encouraging the younger generation to use public transport can revolutionise the way that citizens commute in the future; hence, municipalities must provide good public transport services to encourage their use. A free bus service was introduced in Penang, Malaysia, to support the sustainable agenda and to provide transport for low-income groups. However, the lack of ridership resulted in the service being far from achieving its target. This study assessed young adults’ perceptions of the current free bus service in Penang to design a strategy to attract them to use the free bus. In this study, six focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with young adults aged between 18 and 25 years old studying in three different higher institutions located along the route of the free bus. The data collected were analysed using thematic analysis, in which four areas were identified—free service, reliability, information provision, and attractive service. Finally, this paper Citation: Sukor, N.S.A.; Airak, S.; provides valuable input on initiatives to further encourage young adults to use the free bus service Hassan, S.A. “More Than a Free Bus in Penang.

  • The Charms of Penang Await Participants of the World Tourism Conference 2016
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEAS E THE CHARMS OF PENANG AWAIT PARTICIPANTS OF THE WORLD TOURISM CONFERENCE 2016 PUTRAJAYA, 12 OCTOBER 2016 – Penang, ranked 4th in Lonely Planet's Top 10 Cities list for Best in Travel 2016, will be the fourth state in Malaysia to host the World Tourism Conference 2016 (WTC 2016) from 17 to 19 October 2016 after Melaka (2013), Kota Kinabalu (2010) and Kuala Lumpur (2007). Listed as the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site since 2008, George Town in Penang was aptly chosen as the venue for WTC 2016. This capital city of Penang pulsates with life and receives many visitors from all over the world who wish to experience its unique architectural and cultural townscape, which is without parallel anywhere in East and Southeast Asia. It also offers everything for a successful meeting, incentive, conference and exhibition. There is no shortage of quality hotels and holiday resorts in Penang either, allowing participants the convenience of staying in the same location as the conference. Penang as a whole is a compact island, just under 300 kilometers square, which makes the island such an attractive destination as it is easy to get from one place to another. Year-round sunshine makes Penang a favourite location to combine social events or outdoor activities with a conference or business meeting. This diverse island offers something for everyone, be it cultural heritage, natural environment or man-made entertainments. Among the latest attractions in Penang include: The Skyway on Penang Hill, a newly-built observation deck that enhances the hilltop forest experience; Entopia (formerly known as the Penang Butterfly Farm), which will become the world’s first butterfly, dragonfly and firefly sanctuary park when it is fully completed in 2018.

Memandangkan negara hanya mempunyai lima tahun sebelum mencapai tahun 2020, RMKe-11 adalah langkah kritikal dalam perjalanan kita menjadi negara maju yang inklusif dan mampan. Dalam tempoh lima tahun yang lalu, ekonomi Malaysia telah mencapai prestasi yang sangat cemerlang. Walaupun negara menghadapi pelbagai cabaran akibat kelembapan ekonomi global, Malaysia berada dalam kalangan negara yang mencatat kadar pertumbuhan KDNK tertinggi di rantau ini. Kualiti hidup rakyat juga telah bertambah baik berikutan peningkatan pendapatan per kapita dan pendapatan purata isi rumah. Penambahbaikan ini adalah hasil daripada pelbagai inisiatif pemantapan ekonomi dan tadbir urus yang telah dilaksanakan oleh Kerajaan bagi meningkatan kualiti hidup rakyat.
