What is it like to retire in Penang?
We asked retirees what it is like retiring in Penang. They said...
"Penang Island is great place with lots to do. One of the British most important colony 150 years ago. Third in importance to Hong Kong & Singapore, so lot's of culture from the west and the melting pot of SE.. Some of the best food in the world. I'm not into nightlife but plenty of places if you are. The only real negative was the beaches they are not on the same level as most of SE," said a member in Tojong Tokong, Penang Island, Malaysia.
