Does anyone have advice on Penang? safety? hotel? <BR> <BR>thank you!

Bill <BR> haven't you read the replies to the almost identical question you wrote? What EXACTLY do you want to know?? You have already been invited to ask any question you want of one poster!

I agree. At least acknowledge the people who have been kind enough to reply to your original post. <BR>About safety, Penang should be safe enough as people live in a multi- cultural society. I believe that KL is not the same.

Penang's population is predominantly Chinese. You shouldn't have any problems there. <BR> <BR>anon - KL is much the same. The Malay (Muslim) population is outnumbered by Chinese, Indians and expats. East coast is where the Muslim population is more concentrated, and more fundamentalist. <BR> <BR>Anyway, I already answered this question. Glad you appreciated the response!

Thank you for your replies---somehow i was confused and hence the messge was posted twice. thank you again <BR>

Bill <BR>now that you have explained the reason why you did not respond to original questions I'd like to apologise for my somewhat harsh response!! I went to Penang several years ago and found the people to be friendly.there are a mixture of faiths and it seems to work really well. there is a great tolerance <BR>of others. Enjoy your holiday!
