NSTnation Penang has stayed on top of things, even when a second wave of Covid19 infections struck, by laying out a strategic plan to contain the spread of the virus. PenangLawanCovid19

Even before the federal government announced Movement Control Order , Penang had already launched the"Penang Lawan Covid-19" campaign; while a state level task force was being set up to coordinate efforts between departments.

Both the Penang Island City Council and Seberang Perai City Council set up their own task forces and deployed 4,700 workers to the ground for cleaning and disinfection works. The RM10 million given to the state by the federal government has been channelled to equip frontliners with necessary tools and items.

Through the Penang Lawan Covid-19 campaign, several videos were produced in four main languages – Bahasa Melayu, English, Hokkien and Tamil – to educate the public. The stimulus package, which targets the poor and most vulnerable communities, covers hawkers, small business owners, taxi drivers, e-hailing drivers, and the B40 group.
