It was first conceptualised in 1996 in the form of and direction is developed to launch Malaysia into a digital Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) to fulfil our dreams to be nation. An announcement was made in 2018 by the new the Silicon Valley of Southeast Asia. MSC was supposedly government that the Internet would be treated as the basic the catalyst for us to join the ‘information society’ that would utility for all citizens just like electricity and water. In other lead us to the ‘knowledge economy’ as the new engine of words, all citizens should have the rights to Internet access economic growth. More than 20 years later, Malaysia should similar to their rights to other basic utilities such as electricity already be in the pole position in the digital race, but, alas, and water. Malaysia seems to slip behind instead. The development of this digital nation framework does not In order to explore and understand the path that Malaysia carry a specific timeline given the rapid progress of digital is taking towards becoming a digital nation, we sought technology.

  • Factors Influencing the Willingness to Walk to the Bus Stops in Penang Island
    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 16 ISSUE 1 (2018), Page 193 – 204 FACTORS INFLUENCING THE WILLINGNESS TO WALK TO THE BUS STOPS IN PENANG ISLAND Nur Sabahiah Abdul Sukor1 & Siti Fadhlina Muhammad Fisal2 1,2School of Civil Engineering UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA Abstract This study, investigates pedestrians’ ‘willingness to walk’ to Rapid Penang bus stops in Penang Island. Parameters, such as socio-demographics, walking distance and walking time, were examined to determine factors that influence ‘willingness to walk’. Questionnaire surveys were used to collect the data from 400 participants. The data was analysed using multiple regression analysis through the ‘Statistical Package for the Social Sciences’ (SPSS). Analysis of determinant factors was split into two dependent variables. Firstly, the willingness to walk based on current condition, and secondly, the willingness to walk, if improvements to environment and infrastructure were made to the bus stops. The results showed that socio-demographic factors, such as walking distance, walking time and trip purpose would likely to influence the pedestrians’ ‘willingness to walk’. This study also identified the maximum, minimum, and average distances walked by a pedestrian to reach the bus stops (as well as the willingness travel time.) The outcome of this study will contribute to better planning of transportation system in Penang Island especially on the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP) projects.

  • 525 [Log 24] the Penang Citizens' Intention to Use
    [LOG 24] THE PENANG CITIZENS’ INTENTION TO USE THE PROPOSED BAYAN LEPAS LRT IN PENANG ISLAND Cheng Sing Yang1, Yap Hui Min2, Tan Yi Wen3, Nizamuddin Zainuddin4 1-3School of Technology Management and Logistics, College of Business, Universiti Utara Malaysia, 06010 UUM Sintok, Kedah [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT With the increased of the population of Penang citizens, there is a need to have adequate modes of transportation to fulfill the citizens’ mobility. However, with the small surface area of Penang Island, the traffic congestion happened, especially during the peak hour, weekends and public holidays. Thus, in order to deal with the worsening traffic congestion problem over the Penang Island, the very first line of Bayan Lepas LRT project has been proposed under the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP). But, regarding the installation of LRT, there are more bad comments than good comments about the project cost, land use and so on. Here, the perception of Penang citizens toward the services provided by the public transportation is an important indicator to identify the Penang citizens’ intention to use the proposed Bayan Lepas LRT. The theory of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) (Sumaedi, Bakti, Rakhmawati, Astrini, Widianti, & Yarmen (2016) is adopted and being extended to cover that limitation of original TAM with an additional variable of perceived value as the based theory of this research. A good experience on the previous ride of public transportation will definitely leave with a good impression. That will encourage the citizens to use the public transportation again like proposed Bayan Lepas LRT.

  • Exploring a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Framework for Penang’S Urban Growth
    Exploring a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Framework for Penang’s Urban Growth By Joshua Woo Sze Zeng #07 09 JULY 2020 10, Brown Road, 10350 George Town Penang, Malaysia T +604 228 3306 F +604 226 7042 E [email protected] Exploring a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Framework for Penang’s Urban Growth By Joshua Woo Sze Zeng (Executive Director of Penggerak Komuniti Muda) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper explores the applicability of a transit-oriented development (TOD) framework for Penang in view of the upcoming implementation of the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP). Examples of TOD implemented in Copenhagen, Singapore, and Hong Kong are examined for lessons that can be applied in PTMP. Malaysia’s fiscal federalism and economic policies are two broad factors hindering public transport improvement in Penang. TOD can be a solution to this, and offers a way to circumvent them. For PTMP to succeed, the project cannot be conceived as merely a mobility issue but as an urban development undertaking within a TOD framework. 1 Introduction: Transit-Oriented Development Concepts This paper explores the applicability of transit-oriented development (TOD) framework for Penang. The first part examines TOD concepts and how they are being practiced in Copenhagen, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Following that, is a brief overview of Penang’s transit and traffic conditions and how TOD can be broadly applied to the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP). TOD is an urban planning framework that builds an area by optimising and being optimised by mass public transport system. This is the opposite of automobile-oriented framework where cities are designed for mass usage of private vehicles.
