Dying Economy

There are no few factories, no new technology start-ups, and not many new businesses. We are worried when the next factory will move to China or Vietnam. 

Low Quality Jobs, Low Wages, High Living Cost

There are no new investments to Free Industrial Zone (FIZ). Intel is cutting jobs. Workers are not acquiring new skills.The salary is low. The workers, who have contributed much to the success of Penang, deserve increased wages to provide for their families and to save for retirement. 

Third Class IT Infrastructure

Our broadband service is only providing 1Mbs, while Shanghai provides 4Mbs and Europe 100Mbs. In Free Industries Zone, slow speed means failure. 

Never-ending Traffic Jams

Many of us are stuck in traffic jams for hours everyday, especially on the Penang Bridge. This has seriously affected our productivity, and caised us to spend less quality time with family. 

Unsafe Neighborhood – Low Investment Confidence

Our neighbourhood is no longer safe since there are so many kidnap (Nurin & Sharlinie), rape (Cannie Ong) and murder cases happened. There was robbery of RM 50 million microchips. Do you think investor will be confident to invest in such a risky place?
