The Penang government, through PLANMalaysia@Penang (Penang Town and Country Planning Department), has launched a new monitoring system application called the Electronic Monitoring Structure Plan (eMOSPlan).
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow announced that the app, developed by PLANMalaysia@Penang, is designed to closely monitor the implementation of the Penang Structure Plan 2030 (RSNPP2030).
“Through eMOSPlan, the policies, projects, and programmes outlined in the RSNPP2030 can be tracked for their implementation and effectiveness,” he said.
“This app will also involve all relevant state agencies that are directly involved as implementing agencies.
“Thus, through this application, we can detect any irrelevant policies, projects and programmes that need to be amended in the RSNPP2030 review process.
“The performance level of each implementing state agency can also be seen through this app. With this, we can ensure that we can give the best services to the people of Penang,” Chow said in his speech before launching the application at Butterworth Arena, in conjunction with the state-level Town Planning Day today.
Also present were Penang Local Government, Town and Country Planning Committee chairman Jason H’ng Mooi Lye, PLANMalaysia@Penang director Rozita Hamit, Penang Island City Council (MBPP) mayor Datuk A. Rajendran and Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP) mayor Datuk Baderul Amin Abdul Hamid.
Speaking about the state-level Town Planning Day programme, Chow also took the opportunity to acknowledge the crucial role town planners have played in Penang’s development.
He noted that the state-level Town Planning Day is a platform to celebrate their expertise and contributions as they continue to be the driving force behind the state’s push for a sustainable and prosperous future.
