PENANG

       Penang, an island off Malaysia’s northwest
       coast, blends heritage and modern charm.
       George Town captivates with its trishaws,
       street art and temples, while Batu Ferringhi
       and Tanjung Bungah offer sandy escapes.
       The island is widely celebrated as
       Malaysia’s culinary capital.
