Abstract
  • AI-equipped big data and predictive analytics demonstrably play a vital role during an epidemic outbreak
  • Through smart city technologies, policy makers are able to enhance urban governance through informed decisions and responsive policies. This has amply been proven by China and South Korea during the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak
  • In light of this, Penang’s Smart State vision and direction should be revisited, and the fundamental infrastructure laid for the deployment of certain technologies and for access to analytics
  • The functions of a smart city are closely tied to local needs and resource availability, and thus it is important to identify what are readily available in the local context, to possible pragmatic alternatives
