Had a two-days visit to Lumut recently. The nearest tourist spot is pulau Pangkor but I did not go there. We spent time at Swis Garden Lumut / Damai Laut Resort and had a visit to the ikan kering production center.

Penang Series - Pesta Pulau Pinang

laily — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 13:22:40 +0000

I was lucky to be at Penang on December, so I did not miss the yearly fiesta!
This is what the tourism say about it:

Festivals, both religious as well as secular, are very important events in Malaysia, and in particular Penang. Festivals act as a catalyst to bring people of all creeds, cultures and religions together. To highlight this ‘phenonemom’, the theme of Pesta Pulau Pinang 2007, Colourful Penang focuses on the harmonious relationship among the different races and cultures in Malaysia – the very same people who will visit the Pesta.

Penang is one of the very few places left in the country that holds on dearly, still, to old traditions and customs. The 41 year-old Pesta is one fine example of a long-time and well-loved favourite among locals, Malaysians and visitors. Lest Penangites be accused of being obstinate and old fashioned, we should be reminded every so often that a strong sense of place can be a valuable asset in promoting cultural tourism in Penang.

I had my time visiting Penang Butterfly Farm, about 15km from the town. I can’t remember exactly, but I think the entry fee is RM15/person. Be quick, this farm is closing at 5.30pm. You can take pictures everywhere, but may NOT do so in the ancient items showroom.

Okay, I’m reuploading these pics since my last post about Marang ended up being a waste due to the database error.

Those who have never been to Marang, it’s a good spot to find some ‘keropok lekor’. I have some pics on keropok lekor stall at Pantai Kelulut..

Malacca - The Historical State

laily — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 15:30:52 +0000

Malacca (Malay: Melaka), dubbed as The Historical State (Malay: Negeri Bersejarah) or The Hang Tuah State (Malay: Negeri Hang Tuah) is the third smallest state of Malaysia, after Perlis and Penang. It is located in the southern region of the Malay Peninsula, on the Straits of Malacca. It borders Negeri Sembilan to the north and the state of Johor to the east. The state’s capital is Malacca Town.

Although Malacca was once one of the oldest Malay sultanates, the state has no Sultan today. Instead, the head of state is the Yang di-Pertua Negeri or Governor.

Below are some pics during my previous visit to Malacca.
