Seberang Prai rezoning applications to be processed after local plan is gazetted
State Local Government and Town & Country Planning Committee Chairman H'ng Mooi Lye said the DRTSP 2030 is currently being improved in its final draft report and once finalised, it will be presented to the State Planning Committee for approval and then submitted to the state authority for official gazetting.
"However, developers or landowners in the Seberang Prai area who wish to carry out development on their land may still submit rezoning applications until June 30, 2025.
"Any applications submitted after that date will not be accepted or processed by the Seberang Prai City Council (MBSP) and the Penang State Town and Country Planning Department," he said in a statement today.
H'ng said that, to date, MBSP has received 79 applications, of which 58 have been approved, 13 rejected, and eight are still under review—all pending the department's consideration.
Meanwhile, rezoning applications submitted after June 30 will only be accepted and processed in areas governed by the Penang Island City Council, specifically in the Northeast District and the Southwest District.
He said the state government hoped development in Seberang Prai will continue to progress in a planned, sustainable, and inclusive way.
This aligns with the aspiration to transform it into a prosperous, competitive, and people-friendly city, as outlined in the forthcoming gazetted DRTSP 2030.

Traders fined at Penang fair for not being local residents
Screenshots from a now-deleted video showing Seberang Perai City Council enforcement officers issuing compound notices to traders at the fair in Bukit Mertajam. GEORGE TOWN : Local government enforcement officers have drawn flak after a video showing them fining stallholders at a trade fair in Bukit Mertajam went viral. In a now-deleted TikTok video shared by the Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP), enforcement officers were seen issuing compound notices to traders selling sarees and other Indian-themed goods. The officers were also heard describing the event, held earlier this month, as illegal. The traders at the concourse of the supermarket were told that they were in violation of two rules: they were not Penang residents, and they were selling 'Indian-themed items' outside the allowed period. 'I have an SSM licence, and I am a Malaysian, and you're saying I can't do business?' one shocked trader was heard asking, referring to the Companies Commission of Malaysia. The video then showed the MBSP officers speaking to the Kuala Lumpur-based event organiser, who appeared equally confused. The officers explained that under a state policy, only Penang residents could sell 'Indian-related' items and hold fairs. Non-Penangites could only trade their wares from April 1 to June 30, or during the 30 days before Deepavali. 'All Malaysians are welcome to trade their wares from April to June. No problem,' one officer was heard saying. The organiser refused to comment fearing repercussions. The fair was held from July 9 to 13 and deemed a 'big success', with a South Indian soap star gracing its opening. Such Indian-related fairs are common across the peninsula, where cheap wares and textiles are sold at prices lower than brick and mortar stores. Former MBSP councillor P David Marshel asked if such a policy was legal, saying it may go against Article 8 of the Federal Constitution, which guarantees equal treatment for all citizens. He urged the Penang government to clarify whether the policy had been formally approved, and to cancel the compound notices issued. Batu Uban assemblyman A Kumaresan said such a policy may risk creating a perception that Penang is not open to fair business practices. 'Restricting events to certain months may not be the best way forward. This could dampen growth and limit healthy competition between local and outside traders,' he said in a statement. He said while the rule may have been aimed at protecting local businesses from unfair competition, a more equitable solution would be to manage, not block, participation. 'I urge the state to review this policy and seek a more balanced, fair and business-friendly approach that benefits all,' he said. FMT has contacted MBSP and state executive councillor for local government H'ng Mooi Lye for comment.

Penang embraces pinang revival to reclaim heritage

Photos: — LIM BENG TATT/The Star THE pinang tree – once so common it gave Penang its name – is getting a big push for a comeback. Locals are welcoming a state plan to plant 100,000 pinang trees across the mainland and island, calling it a meaningful way to restore Penang's natural identity. Technician Mohd Azri Adzemi, 38, said it was a timely move. 'Penangites should be proud of this initiative because we will again have so many pinang trees all over the state to remind everyone of how our state got its name,' he said. Irsyam: The pinang tree is more than just a tree for Penang. Mohd Azri, who lives in Bertam, said the programme would also help beautify Penang and create a greener, more vibrant landscape. Irsyam Ibrahim, 43, said the pinang tree was more than just a tree for Penang. 'Planting many of them across Penang makes perfect sense,' he said. The two were among visitors at Vision Park in Bertam during the weekend, where the 'Pinang Tree Planting' programme was launched in conjunction with the state-level National Landscape Day 2025. About 100 Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP) staff and their family members joined in, planting around 50 pinang trees at the park. State housing and environment committee chairman Datuk Seri Sundarajoo Somu said the goal this year was to plant at least 100,000 trees to revive the original identity of Penang. 'With help from both our local councils, we will plant pinang trees in every corner of the state,' he said. He noted the effort was not only about creating visual landmarks at key entry points. 'It's also about filling central medians and roadside verges with pinang trees wherever we can. 'Our hope is to go beyond the 100,000-tree target by the time we celebrate state-level National Landscape Day in October,' he added. Sundarajoo said the tree- planting campaign was meant to reconnect with Penang's roots, not just beautify public spaces. MBSP will meet two-thirds of the planting target, as more land is available on the mainland, while the rest will be handled by Penang Island City Council. Seberang Perai mayor Datuk Baderul Amin Abdul Hamid said the pinang tree was more than just a landscaping choice. 'It is a symbol of Penang's identity and heritage. 'Planting it is a way of honouring and reviving the origins of our state's name, Pulau Pinang,' he said. He noted the project supported Penang2030 vision to be a green, smart state that is family-focused and nationally inspiring, by balancing physical growth with environmental sustainability. The core aim, Baderul Amin said, was to raise awareness about conservation while greening areas increasingly affected by development. 'It highlights Penang's cultural roots. The pinang tree is an emblem of our state. 'This programme helps reduce our carbon footprint and promotes a shared responsibility to care for the environment,' he added. Penang's name comes from the areca nut palm (Areca catechu), a species that once grew abundantly across the island. Historical accounts say that when Captain Francis Light landed here in 1786, he found the island thick with pinang trees – a detail believed to have inspired the name. Although the British colonial government named it Prince of Wales Island, the local name Pulau Pinang became commonly used. Eventually, the English-speaking world adopted the simplified state name Penang, which refers to both the island and mainland Seberang Perai.

Penang to reconnect with its roots by planting 100,000 Pinang trees by October
KEPALA BATAS: In celebration of National Landscape Day 2025, Penang is targeting the planting of 100,000 Pinang trees by October. State housing and environment committee chairman Datuk Seri Sundarajoo Somu said that the state's very name, Pulau Pinang, was derived from the once-abundant Pinang (areca) trees that grew across the island. "This initiative is not just about beautification — it's about reconnecting with our roots and preserving a living symbol of our state identity," he said. To ensure the success of the effort, Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP) has taken full responsibility to realise this aspiration by officially organising the launch event, in close collaboration with the office of the state housing and environment. Sundarajoo said, for a start, 50 Pinang trees were planted during the launch at Vision Park here on Sunday (July 12). He said MBSP will be responsible for planting two-thirds of the 100,000 Pinang trees, as it has more available land compared to Penang Island. The remaining trees will be planted on the island by the Penang Island City Council.
