  1. 1/4 Let’s dissect the law on the Penang International Airport expansion vs. SJK (C) Chung Shan. Most believe a historic site requires formal gazetting to be protected. This is legally incorrect. Under the National Heritage Act 2005 [Act 645], heritage is an inherent status. Section 2 explicitly protects tangible cultural heritage "whether listed or not in the Register." The 75-year-old school building is inherently heritage by its history and Art Deco architecture. #Penang #Act645 #HeritageLaw

  2. From buzzing city streets to island escapes, Malaysia is one of Southeast Asia’s most rewarding solo travel destinations—easy to navigate, food-focused, culturally rich, and full of options for every budget.

    Which Malaysia stop would you visit first: Kuala Lumpur, Penang, or Langkawi?

  3. We have wonderful trains but the Butterworth train station is frankly a freaking nightmare, which is why I do everything to avoid it. Hot, stuffy, badly designed etc. fortunately they are planning upgrades. I pray the person designing it won't be the same doofus who designed Penang Sentral because that's another nightmare and half.

  5. Performed Qing Ming (or Cheng Beng as we Hokkiens call it) early April in Poh Tay Temple, Penang. It's a yearly ritual I look forward to and I help my parents do it by being their travel operator 🥲

    Many of my ancestors spirit tablets are here. But when I asked what year my ancestors came to Malaysia, my relatives couldn't answer. I say it's safe to say we've been here in Penang for two centuries.

    My cousins belong to the Khoo clan, who has a grand ol clan house on Penang island. The Tai family is not as well known or prestigious 🤭

  7. This is where Penangites get their hawker food. Batu Lancang food court. They tend to avoid the touristy spots.

    "Cheh Hu" or "Green Fish", or a Chinese Pasembur with jelly fish.

  9. At Hotel 1 in Penang. I came here in the midst of a heat wave and I feel like an overbaked hot potato
