00:00The Penang Island City Council on Friday launched the Virtual Island of Penang ,

00:09a pioneering 30 million ringgit digital platform that integrates real-time data,

00:15satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to transform city management.

00:21The first of its kind in Malaysia and the region,

00:24the VIP platform serves as a digital twin of the city,

00:28mapping every building, road and tree while consolidating information

00:33from 10 key modules into a single interactive system.

00:36The construction of this module is like

00:39Weather Monitoring and Disaster Management,

00:42Geotechnical Slope Monitoring and Control,

00:46and Tree Inventory and Inspection.

00:49These three modules are really great.

00:53Kini kita telah menerapkan unsur-unsur data sciences

00:58dengan bantuan teknologi remote sensing, satellite imagery,

01:02dan light detection and ranging LIDAR

01:05bersama predictive and generative AI, artificial intelligence,

01:13untuk menjadikan modul-modul ini lebih berkesan, efisien dan interaktif

01:19dengan maklumat masa nyata, real-time,

01:23untuk meningkatkan penyampaian perkhidmatan MBPP.

01:27The Geotechnical Module can detect soil movement for early preventive action,

01:32while the tree inspection system uses remote sensing

01:35to identify tree conditions with 87 per cent accuracy.

01:40The platform is also being expanded to upgrade existing CCTV infrastructure

01:45with new capabilities such as vehicle speed detection and movement tracking.

01:50Chief Minister Chao Konyao, who officiated the launch,
