The Best Place in Malaysia-Say Hi to Penang !

Assalamualaikum and Hai guys and girls!
So, your already read  my title right ? Hehe. without any wasting your time to read my intro, so i would like to talk about Penanggg !! *scream* :p

By the way, if you know, if we hear about Penang, and of course you just imagine
'' Jambatan Pulau Pinang '' 
''Jambatan yang paling panjang di Malaysia''

 Right ? Same goes to me ! (;
Actually, i can counting when i went there. Hahaha, maybe only once . :p My bro in there, so of course i have the oppurtunity to went there. Only one place i went, of course lah Jambatan Pulau Pinang, and then boarding the ferry. Well its my experince when i went there (:

So this is the picture of Penang Bridge or what we called '' Jambatan Pulau Pinang '' and a lil bit information to you !





The Penang Bridge (Jambatan Pulau Pinang in Malay) E 36 is a dual-carriageway toll bridge that connects Gelugor on the island of Penang and Seberang Prai on the mainland of Malaysia on the Malay Peninsula. The bridge is also linked to the North-South Expressway in Prai and Jelutong Expressway in Penang. It was officially opened to traffic on September 14, 1985. The total length of the bridge is 13.5 km (8.4 miles), making it among the longest bridges in the world, the longest bridge in the country as well as a national landmark. Penang Bridge Sdn Bhd is the concession holder which manages it. The bridge was designed by a local Penang resident, Tan Sri Datuk Professor Ir. Chin Fung Kee, a well known authority in geotechnical engineering and former acting Vice Chancellor of the University of Malaya.

Before 1985, transportation between the island and the mainland was solely dependent on the state-owned Penang Ferry Service that runs between Butterworth and George Town.

Similar to the ferry services in Penang, toll is only paid when heading to the island. There is no charge for leaving the island.

Currently, the Penang Bridge is being expanded from 4 lanes to 6 lanes to accommodate the increasing traffic on the bridge. A proposal for a second bridge, the Penang Second Bridge, has been approved by the Malaysian federal government and included as one of the Ninth Malaysia Plan national projects. Construction work of the new Penang Second Bridge began in November 2008, and the target completion date is May 2012.


So, the next place for Penang is : Batu Ferrenghi!

Next place for Penang is Bukit Bendera/Penang Hill


A lil bit information about Bukit Bendera or Penang Hill :
Penang Hill is located on this island of Penang, within the area called Air Itam. It is 6km from the city. Situated about 823 meters (2750 feet) above sea level on this northern part of Penang, this oldest hill resort and the first in Malaysia has cool, unpolluted air and historical feature. It stands prominently from the lowlands as a hilly and forested area. It's original name was Flagstaff Hill known by the British, back in the old days of Penang , when a flag fluttering from a flagpole at Bel Retiro, the home of the Governor of Penang at that time, was used as a signal transmitter.
The locals affectionately called it Penang Hill or Bukit Bendera. The hokkien chinese calls it "Seng Kee Sua".It was Francis Light who plotted Penang Hill during his horse track way back in 1788. British colonials started building bungalows for private use in the 19th century as the climate is cooler on the hill compared to the city heat. Its average temperature is between 20-27 degree celcius.
