Positioned in the middle of three large population centres, namely China, India and Indonesia, it has become home to migrants from these three regions.

In the modern era Penang has become an international beach resort as well as the ‘Silicon Valley of the East’. This cosmopolitan state of 1.28 million people has been welcoming more than 3 million tourist annually. Penang has become one of the most culturally diverse destinations of the East where English is widely spoken and the locals are well known for their friendliness.
