Georgetown is the capital city of Penang and became a historical city when
designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 7 July 2008, in
recognition of the unique cultural cityscape with multi architectural
buildings representing cultural heritage of the Chinese, Indians, Arabs,
Malays, Achehnese, Siamese, Burmese and Europeans.
Penang people are multi racial and are so unique that they can get along peacefully without racial conflicts. The main communities are Malay, Chinese and Indian. Although Islam is the Malaysia's official religion, each ethnic race have the freedom to observe their own culture and religion in harmony. Malay is the national language. But the local people can also speak good English or Mandarin, besides the local Cantonese, Hokkien and Tamil dialects. If you are in Penang for only a short visit, you can consider taking a 1-day tour round the relatively small island for amazing discoveries. The climate is mildly hot with seasonal rainfall and ample sunshine, considerably the right place to get away from the cold winters for a sunny holiday vacation in Penang. |
