4 Population Population of Penang, Malaysia

5 Urbanization Urban population of 10,000 people or more and average increase in urbanisation rate in Penang, Malaysia,

6 Hamzah Sendut (1978) argued that the city of Georgetown can be expected to coalesce with Butterworth and Bukit Mertajam to become the second largest metropolitan area in the country. Urban agglomeration projects are expected to continue growing from Bukit Mertajam and affect its surrounding urbanised areas of Kedah Darul Aman, where the Kulim High Technological Park is located. According to the 2000 census data, Kulim had an urban population of 117,455 that increased from 58,328 people in 1991 (Department of Statistics Malaysia, 2001a).

7 Industrialisation 35.1% of the employed population in Penang works in the manufacturing sector 2000 census data indicates that 196,415, or 37.8% of the 519,117 people employed in Penang are women 51.1% of the female workforce works in the manufacturing sector decline in fertility rates also led to a slow growth rate of the working age population and labour supply

8 socio-economic development and motivation have affected the decrease in fertility rate. Socio-economic development involved increased rates of urbanisation and industrialisation, expanded opportunities for education and an increase in marriage age and the number of women working in Penang, and these have greatly influenced the Chinese fertility level in the state

There, the refuse will be compressed before being shipped across the channel to Pulau Burung.

39 Why the horrendous traffic congestion today? Long term failure of Govt s transport policies and their implementation by agencies e.g. CVLB, JPJ, Puspakom. Promoting cars and neglecting public transport; favouring corporate cronies.

40 We are Car dependant citizens. We buy and maintain private motor vehicles as a necessity, despite the cost. town planning culture has been based on the lack of good public transport. Road widening, creating one way streets and more on-street car parking for cars. Our car-dependant population is created by a pro-car urban environment Costs of sustaining infrastructure for increasing private traffic far outweigh that of subsidizing PT

42 Address obstacles to efficient public transport system Solve traffic bottlenecks along the routes on-street parking space for dedicated bus lanes. Ensure punctuality, essential in promoting switch in transport modes Bicycles, Trishaws & Padestrian Create cycle lanes and parking facilities. Better maps, signage, better designed bus stops & GPS systems
