Why do people move to Penang?

Answer this Question

When we asked people why foreigners move to Penang, they responded...

"Penang is an attractive destination for expats due to its diverse culture, vibrant nightlife, and affordable cost of living. The island is known for its delicious street food, stunning beaches, and lush rainforests. Penang is also home to a number of international schools, making it an ideal place for expats with children. Additionally, the island is well-connected to the rest of the world, with an international airport and ferry services to nearby countries. With its rich history, friendly locals, and modern amenities, Penang is an ideal destination for expats looking for a new home," said another in Penang, Malaysia.
