NEWS / ARTCLES PENANG GOVERNMENT’S SMART MAPPING BOOSTS COMMUNITY SERVICES Industries Products Services and Support About search site News Smart mapping app improves community services in Penang Local news By Clarice Africa 18 Feb 2016 International news An advanced smart mapping application called e-Peta has given decision-makers at the State of Penang a tech- savvy way of improving services to the community. Developed in 2014 by the Penang Geographic Information System Centre (PEGIS), e-Peta uses advanced location technology from leading geospatial solutions provider Esri Malaysia to integrate data from various government departments and display the layers on a dynamic smart map. The application provides actionable information on areas such as land use, business and services, traffic and public transport – helping decision-makers efficiently mobilise resources to the right place at the right time, and effectively support existing social development projects. To stay up-to- “Since its inception, a wide range of government departments, including the Town Planning & Development date with the Department, Penang Island City Council and Seberang Perai Municipal Council, have been using e-Peta and GIS latest industry to design sustainable structural layouts in the city and improve accountability and efficiency in the state insights and product government,” says PEGIS coordinator Mr Abdul Azhar Bin Ibrahim. updates, subscribe to our “In addition, e-Peta has also done wonders to advance and support the advocacies and community initiatives of e-newsletter. not-for-profit organisations such as George Town World Heritage Incorporated (GTWHI), the Penang Botanic Gardens, Penang Women’s Development Corporation (PWDC), and alms collection organisation Pusat Urus Zakat, among others,” he said. “For Pusat Urus Zakat, we worked together to map the location of Muslim households and analyse the corresponding demographic data in order to determine their needs and identify who should give and receive alms. With the use of e-Peta, Pusat Urus Zakat was able to complete their study in half the time they would have otherwise taken. “We also worked closely with PWDC to create a smart mapping app – hosted on e-Peta – that maps the location of various childcare centres in Penang,” he said. “With childcare an important decision for working parents, this app helps them locate the nearest centre to their home or workplace.” Esri Malaysia CEO Lai Chee Siew said smart mapping technology engages both systems and people. It brings together information and data from independent systems, and provides decision-makers with a more complete picture. “What made e-Peta so successful and interesting is its collaborative nature,” Mr Lai said. “When you make it easier for stakeholders to engage with one another and share data, it not only improves organisational productivity and efficiency, but it also helps facilitate the creation of next-generation services.” Since its launch, e-Peta has seen an increase in users, with 26,559 log-ins alone during 2015. Currently, 90 per cent of e-Peta users are public servants employed by the Malaysian Federal Government or Penang State agencies. PEGIS aims to continue exploring the possibilities of using smart mapping technology to help develop smart communities in Penang. “Moving ahead, we are looking towards having more state departments using smart mapping technology,” said Mr Abdul Azhar “We want more members of the public to adopt this technology – that way, everyone can contribute to our ever-growing database as we continue to map the country we love. “There is also

SE A Women in Politics and Decision - M a k i n g Expanding Democracy, Enlarging Women’s Spaces A Report on Malaysia by Maria Chin Abdullah INTRODUCTION In Malaysia, women’s participation is being challenged to its fullest. More women are educated, forming 47.1% of female labor force participation. Those employed are mostly in the service industries and other sectors such as manufacturing (30.1%), wholesale, retail trade, hotels and restaurant, and agriculture (15.9%). Women today consist of almost half of the population and exceed boys in the tertiary sector by a ratio of 80:20. Despite these achievements, however, women’s labor force engagement remains confined to “traditional women’s occupations” such as those of primary school teachers, data entry clerks and other clerical jobs.

  • DAP Members and Supporters Go Bald to Protest Money Politics Malaysian Insider May 3,2013 by Opalyn Mok
    DAP members and supporters go bald to protest money politics Malaysian Insider May 3,2013 By Opalyn Mok GEORGE TOWN, May 3 — A total of 84 DAP members and supporters shaved their heads bald at the Kek Lok Si Temple here in protest against money politics. They include six people who are standing for election in state constituencies in Penang. Their move was to express disgust with Barisan Nasional (BN)-friendly non-governmental organisation 1 Malaysia Penang Welfare Club for organising free dinners and allegedly distributing money and holding lucky draws to woo voters. Among those who went bald was Betty Chew, wife of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who also did it to support her husband in the general election. “This is not organised by the party but an individual effort by all of us to protest against the money politics BN is using to win voter support,” she said. The DAP candidates who went bald were Pulau Tikus candidate Yap Soo Huey, incumbent Air Itam assemblyman Wong Hon Wai, incumbent Tanjung Bungah assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu, incumbent Berapit assemblyman Ong Kok Fooi, incumbent Datuk Keramat assemblyman Jagdeep Singh and incumbent Sungai Puyu assemblyman Phee Boon Poh. Lim, who was present to witness the ceremony, condemned the blatant act by certain quarters in trying to win votes. “They are doing this openly in my constituency and I hope the voters will not be bought over by their tactics,” he said. In recent weeks, 1 Malaysia dinners have been held in almost all constituencies in the state but more so in the Air Putih state constituency where Lim is standing for election.
