We bought a condo, the Putra Marine. Picked up one of the last 3 units available there. Must be fate since we traipsed around a lot of places in 2-3 days of house-hunting before finding this one. Felt right immediately.
I like the potential for vibrancy in an area versus dead-calm, if you know what I mean. For dead-calm, I can always return for a spell to Australia.
With the stuff going on in the Queensbay area, I like what's going to unfold there within the next 2-3 years.

Hi to all,

My husband has been posted to work in Penang end of this month. We are currently based in Shanghai. I'm also looking for fellow expats to spend time with.

Any tips with regards to living in Penang?

You'll find a lot of them here engaged in one sort of club/group or another. Have fun and enjoy Penang!

Hi,
My wife & I have also moved to Penang in the last few months. I am English but my wife was born in Georgetown. AND we have also bought a condo in Putra Marine, we are on the 6th floor=3A. Come up/down and see us some time. Robert & Mei Lee Northcott

Hi,
I have just replied to Ninja, we have also recently moved to Penang on the MM2H programme, and we also bought a condo in Putra Marine. I am English but my wife was born in Georgetown, we have spent the last 24 years living in Southern Spain.

Hi i'm Daniel i have recently moved to malaysia from the UK. How many expat reside in penang as a percentage, how does it compare with KL?

How far a drive is George Town from Batu Ferringhi? I commute 52 miles to work, so perhaps far to you doesn't seem so far to me. I would like to be no further out than 45 minutes.

Thanks
