GEORGE TOWN: Penang is set to present to the world its idea on developing the "Penang Bay", Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said.

He said a delegation, led by state Local Government Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo, would present the development idea for "Penang Bay" during next week’s 10th World Urban Forum (WUF) in Abu Dhabi.

“We are hoping to find the synergy between the bay area -- Penang island side and Butterworth side. We plan to turn the island side into a cultural hub and the mainland side, an innovative hub.
