Penang is a unique island in the Straits of Malacca. It was the first British colony in Malaysia. For years, it served as an important trading port for the British Empire, attracting an influx of immigrants from China, India and Indonesia, thus creating a unique community of diverse cultures. Today, Penang is a thriving and lively city with state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities, while carefully preserving its colonial heritage. The capital, George Town, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2008 in recognition of its unique architectural and cultural townscape.
