The Rich History Of Penang

Penang History was dated back to the牋16th century where the Portuguese traders in search for spice, landed in the rocky isle of Batu Ferringhi (also牋known as "Lover's Isle") to obtain fresh牋supplies of water. At that time Penang牋belongs to the Rulers of Kedah and are named after a palm tree (Pinang by the Malays & Penang by the English)





Among the first British merchant who first discover Penang was Captain James牋Lancaster during a trade mission to East India. During that time 1593, Penang was牋not inhabited. He did not stay long and left after the completion of his mission.

Captain Francis Light from East India Company,牋landed in Penang on 1765 to take advantage of牋the lucrative spice and opium trades which has牋become extremely popular.牋Penang was offered牋to him by the Rulers of Kedah on 1771 in returned for British protection from the constant threats of the Siamese and Burmese armies.

On August 11, 1786, Light officially took牋possession of the island and named it the牋"Prince of Wales Island" The Union Jack was hoisted over the new stockade to signifies the牋start of British influence in Penang. A fortress牋was build at the Esplanade (Fort Cornwallis) to牋defend Penang from any attacks.


Cannon was fired 3牋consecutive days as sign of New Settlement

Various kind of entertainment can be found in Penang at that time which includes cinemas, amusement parks & gambling establishments.

Then come depression in the mid 19th centuries that brings down the Penang  economy. Although the depression did not last long but before Penang could  recover, World War 2 broke out on December 8, 1941. The Japanese invaded most  of the South East Asia Countries which includes Malaya. Penang was heavily bombed  and this forced the British to fled to Singapore. From 1942 to 1945 saw Penang  living in fear. It was a days of living in horror, torture and executions.

The Road To Independance
3 years later in September 4, 1945 after the United States bombed Nagasaki & Hiroshima, Japanese finally surrendered back Penang to the British Forces. Power  struggle between the Malaya forces and the British soon take over.

Malaya gained independence in August 31, 1957 and Penang became one of its 13  component states. Georgetown, which has the oldest municipal history in the  country, was awarded "City" status by royal charter on 1st January 1957. Malaya  name was later change to Malaysia to reflect the multi racial society that lives there.

By the 20th centuries, Penang became a centre of export for rubber and tin which  has gain popularity. Rubber is due to demand for the manufacturing of pneumatic  tires and Tin was due to the invention of new food canning technology. In the later  part of the centuries, Penang witnessed outstanding progress and development in  commerce and industry.

And now, after 4 decade of rich Penang history, the island has becomes one of the  powerhouse states in Malaysia contributing to the country economic wealth, vast  knowledge and advancement in technology. It is the bold achievement that  encompasses many years of struggle towards independence which the Penangtes'  are proud of.

skimax2

ya, sebenaqnya banyak lagi tempat2 yg best tapi malangnya kerajaan malaysia kurang nak focus kat penang, mungkin sebab pr memerintah, sebenarnya aku pun risau jugak kalau pusat tak bagi dana tentu susah penang nak maintain warisan2 ni, maklum sajalah kos nak maintain benda2 lama ni memang mahal, harap sebelum pak lah bersara dia patut bagi geran untuk menaik taraf kawasan sekeliling tapk warisan kat penang .
