Penang has just launched its Penang Smart Parking System (PSP) app which allows drivers to pay for parking via their smartphones. During the launch, Penang Chief Minister, Chow Kon Yeow, had announced that the first 10,000 users will be entitled to RM5 worth of free credits.

According to the Chief Minister, the app will encourage the public the utilise eWallet technologies such as Boost, Touch ‘n Go and Grab Pay as they are heading towards a smart state. He added that it may take one to two years for people to get used to the system.

There are 36,000 parking bays in the state with 12,000 under the supervision of Penang City Council (PCC) and 24,000 bays under the Seberang Perai Municipal Council (SPMC).
