Penang and Kuala Lumpur

Known as Malaysia's 'Pearl of the Orient,'
Penang carries a natural beauty and cultural splendour like no other
place. Its name comes from the Malay translation of betel nut - 'Pinang'.
Every year, thousands of visitors come here to experience the unique
cultural heritage and scenery. It is also a very cosmopolitan city,
perhaps the second busiest in the country after Kuala Lumpur.
