Park and Ride from Prai to Penang

Penang Government will be introducing a park and ride service for people staying in Prai and working on the Island.   This service will start on Mar 2011.  The commute will be from Seberang Jaya on the mainland to the factories in Bayan Lepas (including Sunshine in Bayan Baru). The free bus service will run 6am to 9am and from 4pm to 7pm on Mondays to Fridays. This is one of the Green initiatives of the Penang government as well as to help fight the increase in fuel prices.  This follows another initiative of no plastic bag for the supermarkets and fast food outlets.  This shows the political will of the local government to help save our environment and create greater awareness.

PC Recycling

I just recently found out that Penang has been very successful in performing PC parts  recycling, thanks to effort by Dell and its various partners. I thought I would share the collections points to further help the effort.  I converted the following handout to something that can be copied and pasted: No Pusat Kutipan Lokasi Tarikh Waktu 1 Sunshine Jelutong (Tel: 04-281 2222) 9-27, Jalan Lenggong, 11600 Jelutong Setiap hari Selasa kecuali hari cuti umum 7.00 pm - 9.30 pm 2 Sunshine Farlim Shopping Mall (Tel: 04-827 1111 Mr. Wong / Ms. Sim) 294, Jalan Thean Teik, 11500 Ayer Itam Setiap hari Khamis kecuali hari cuti umum 7.00 pm - 9.30 pm 3 Stor Pembersihan Kampung Jawa Baru (Tel: 04-228 4284 Mr. Bahari) Star MPPP, Jalan Kampung Jawa Baru, 101 50 Georgetown Setiap hari Isnin hingga hari Sabtukecuali hari cuti umum 8.00 am - 5.00 pm 4 Bahagian Perkhidmatan Perba
