Penang, often referred to as the “Pearl of the Orient” is rich in natural beauty. The splendid culture of the region depicts a fine blend of Malaysian, Indian, Chinese and other European customs and traditions. It is renowned for offering some of the finest cuisines and has recently developed as the country’s IT capital.
