It has a rich tapestry of multiple cultures, colorful religious festivals, phenomenal food, high caliber local and international schools and top class medical facilities. It also has many 5 star luxury hotels and sandy beaches. English is widely spoken. Most of the expats love it here and find the locals very warm and welcoming.

Penang has also been voted by the international travel magazine Lonely Planet as the number one food lovers’ paradise in the world, and by the UK Guardian as the 8th out of 40 worldwide destinations to visit. In their annual Global Retirement Index 2014, , Malaysia, and more specifically Penang, was profiled as the third best destination for good-value living around the world today, and the best place in Asia to retire. ("The World's Best Places to Retire in 2014"). Penang also has tremendous old-world colonial charm and Georgetown was accorded the UNESCO world heritage site in 2008.
