Abstract
The state of Penang has undergone rapid development for the past few decades. Although
judging from its size and limited resources, the state has proven it's capability by
emerging as one of the most developed state in Malaysia. It begins as a state which
depended on its limited agricultural sector and trading through its port, Penang is now
one of the major exporter of electronik goods and computer components in this region.
The achievement in the industrial sector has cause a nuch anticipated spill over efect
whereby secondary sector which includes trading and commercial, banking, services and
property sector has recorded significant growth as well. The success of the industrial
sector has boost the state image whereby more investor has set up its operation in this
state, increasing employment opportunity. Therefore labours from neighbouring states
start moving in to source for employment, indirectly increased the population of the state.
Housing and commercial projects were built to accommodate and provide shelter

aware, inproper or unorganised development could lead to unwelcome results particularly
when it accerelate too rapidly. Problems such as traffic and spacial congestion,
insufficient public utilities and disaster is generating day by day. Although we realise that
such negativity do arised when an area undergo rapid development but the much sort
. aft~r quaetion is to what extent does the Authority aware or has forecasted such problems
and planned constructive effort to tackle it. Therefor this paper would study to what
extent has the Authority planned in facing obstacle that may arise in the future. The State
Government with the Municipal Council of Penang should come up with a detail
