How about George Town, Nina?

You seem to know a lot about Penang. Well, George Town is the capital city of Penang, named after some England’s king named George I guess. I don’t remember much I learnt this like 8 million years ago. :lol:

And oh yes, the veteran like to call it Tanjung but I think everybody just call it ‘Georgetown’.
