YAHOO'S TOP 10 ISLANDS TO EXPLORE - PENANG




A very warm welcome to this blog of fascinating stories.


I read this news reported in the article, Pearl of the Orient shines bright, by Dawn Jeremiah with deep delight. I strongly believe it was a long awaited article for a great majority of Penang folks, especially those who have read or seen its beauty and old world charm. The risk of making the turn is beginning to pay off. The wind of change finally begins to bear fruits. Such reward with such a short span of time proves that it must be with the cooperation of great majority of its people. Well done, Penang.

According to the author, Gary McKechnie, Penang is ranked  as in his Top 10 hot spots. To be exact, no. 8 after the other following spots-

1) Bali in Indonesia;
2) Vieques in Puerto Rio,
3) Easter Island in Chile,
4) Ischia in Italy,
5) Chilo in Chile,
6) Bora Bora in French,
7) Key West in Conch Republic.


Undeniably, Pennag has so much to offer to the whole world, be it to Westerners, Indians, Chinese, Malay and Middle Easterners due to its fusion of culture, so unique and distinct from the rest of the world, if you truly appreciate its value. I believe my statement is objective and not biased and it is not because it's where originate from.

Its' prosperity lies behind its diversity - it has everything and anything to please its guests such as City, beach, ferry, bridge, heritage buildings, hill, dam, jungle and forests you name it, it has it.

Don't forget that the existence of fishing villages, fruit orchards, vegetable farms, as well as temples, mosques, churches and synagogues which co-exist in harmony, its success secret has been well proven in the past centuries. This sound practices is in line with the divine law, "Prosperity through diversity", which give rises to difference in human beings in the first place.

Its' famous food paradise, with wide range of local and international food can be easily accessible in this island. For instance, the Ferringghi Grill in Rasa Sayang Resort Hotel in Batu Ferringhi has been named as the top 5 restaurants in Malaysia by the 2010/2011 Miele Guide.

With this in mind, we hope that the coming second Penang Bridge and their continuous effort to upgrade its existing facilities will bring more prosperity to this Island by luring more tourists to this Pearl of the Orient. Wishing Penang a greater success.

Here, we urge all Malaysian to give it full support so as it will create a better place for our future generations to stay. Thanks.

To all with love,
