While for many Malaysians, Penang is known to be the Pearl of the Orient. And when we mention Penang, people often view it as an exotic tourist destination, with its sandy and smooth beaches, historic architecture and is considered as Malaysia's food capital.
It was once known as the Isle of the Betel Nut — filled with cultural sites and natural scenery — Penang back then was classified as a World Cultural Heritage. However, the town is now being recognized as the next Silicon Valley in Asia.
With public investments were pumped into the island's technological ecosystem, Penang has become a tech powerhouse and hardware production center. Include Intel and Hewlett Packard, in particular, currently housing the Bayan Lepas free industrial area, with several Fortune 1000 companies.
