PENANG: The responsibility of making Penang a family-focused green and smart state through community-centric programs and initiatives lies on the shoulders of the executive councilor for Social Development, Welfare and Non-Islamic Religious Affairs.
Playing this role is Lim Siew Khim, who has served Penangites first as a councilor at the Penang City Council and then as a state assemblyman.
In an exclusive interview with theSun , she shares her strategic vision, outlining plans to cultivate a more equitable and age-friendly environment by 2025.
Stepping into the shoes of her predecessor, Datuk Seri Chong Eng, she remains committed to addressing important aspects of society through new initiatives. Her mandate is broad, from addressing women’s issues through the Penang Women Development Corporation (PWDC) to extending support to vulnerable groups such as children and families in need, ensuring that these critical issues remain at the forefront of the developmental agenda.
