"When moving to Penang, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is suitable for the hot and humid climate. Bring a few items of clothing that are appropriate for more formal occasions, such as a dinner or a business meeting. Bring a good pair of walking shoes, as Penang is a great place to explore on foot. Don't forget to pack a raincoat and umbrella, as Penang experiences frequent rain showers. Bring any necessary medications, as well as a first-aid kit. Finally, bring a few items that will help you feel at home, such as photos, books, and other personal items," said another expat in Penang, Malaysia.
