Best affordable housing for Penang
The state government has used RM500 million profits from the sale of the land in Bayan Mutiara to build affordable housing on both the island and in Batu Kawan. This is the largest one-off amount allocated by any state government for affordable housing in Malaysia.
The Batu Kawan project consists of 12,000 units of affordable housing and promises to be the best quality affordable housing in Malaysia. The Penang state government passionately believes that poor in Penang deserves a home not a "box" for their children to grow up healthily and safely. Instead of imitating the best, the Penang state government has decided to choose the best planner for affordable housing in the world -- Housing Development Board(HDB) of Singapore.
Penang state government has appointed HDB Singapore only in planning and designing the best quality affordable housing in Malaysia, not in building and constructing which will be appointed by open tender to local contractors. For UMNO to claim that the Penang state government has more faith in Singapore contractors than local contractors in building the affordable is not true as the work has not been tendered out yet.
However the Penang state government makes no apologies for appointing the HDB Singapore as the consultant planners they build the best quality affordable housing in the world. Why is it that when Singapore firms come to Iskandar Johor, they are welcomed and praised but when Singapore firms come to Penang, they are attacked and criticised?

Ride 2 Rescue
They cycle for over 26,000 km across the globe in order to bring the reality of child trafficking to the eyes of the world. To see it for what it is - the third most profitable industry worldwide, after drugs and weapons.
Child trafficking occurs every day with children being sold for as little as $10 into underground brothels, sweat shops and war.
With the help of programs like Worldvision's Child Rescue we all have the power to make a difference and work together to abolish child slavery.
Ride2Rescue riders Daniel Seehusen, John Clark, Tim Holman, Aaron Turner were joined by 400 cyclists escorting them to Park Royal Hotel.
