Curious about **Penang Island** ?

What is so special about **George Town**, one of the most famous tourist destinations in Southeast Asia ?

What are the current issues in Malaysia's most important island city-state ?

Find out more here, a **Penang wikia**, made by Penangites.

## A little bit of intro...

The former British colony of **Penang Island** at the Strait of Malacca has been gaining popularity throughout the world as a tourist destination. From a sparsely-uninhabited island in the 18th. century, this melting pot of cultures grew into one of Malaysia's major cities.

Therefore, this Penang wiki, made only by local Penangites, is created for Penangites as well as the world.

For the sake of clarity, this wiki focuses on **Penang Island**, even though the *state* of **Penang** consists of *both* Penang Island and a strip of mainland Peninsular Malaysia called *Seberang Perai***.**
