PENANG, 槟城！
This is so far a nice place to be... I loved staying here...
From Penang Hill, such a nice mountain, to Kek Lok Si with tallest Guan Yin statue in the world, to Gurney Drive hawker paradise, then to Queensbay Mall, the longest mall in Penang! All this blend together results to a nice paradise for tourist~!
Penang is also known as Silicon Island, with the hi-technology industrial zone situated at the southern part of Penang, Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone, it houses all the big MNC such as Intel, AMD, Motorola, Seagate, Agilent, Robert Bosch, Osram, Renesas, etc.

ReplyDeletea pretty place fr me~
Penang as Silicon island is something of the past. Many MNC have shut down plants here and moved to China.
ReplyDeleteMin~aris, yeah Penang is a nice place to stay at.
ReplyDeleteKhengsiong, MNC started to shift and move to China during early 20th century, but recently esp. after changing the state gov't, we can see a lot of high-technology MNC start up here, namely Ibiden Technology from Japan, Honeywell which is the main supplier for Air Bus, etc. I think Penang is trying to regain the status now.
