Introduction

Penang is one of the 13 States in the Federation of Malaysia and one of the four States that we not ruled by Sultans before the formation of Malaysia. Their Heads of States are known as Governors (based on the colonial times) or in the local term Yang Di Pertua Negeri.

The state of Penang is divided into mainland and island Penang, where Georgetown is situated and where the famous beach front of Batu Ferringhi can be found.

The airport is also situated on the island side and linking it to the mainland is the Penang Bridge. There are also ferry services linking the two areas.
