Thanks to The Great, smart and low profile Lim Chong Eu. Highly intelligent and far sighted man.
e&e industry he started and promoted is the no.1 export now with petroleum becoming a far 2nd.

It's partly the results of Better & Fairer Governance of the past leaders of Penang that based on Meritocracy to build-up Penang for All Good Malaysians instead of the divisive & biased ethnicity & religion based governance of the other States of Malaysia! 🙏🌷🌿🌏💜🕊🇲🇾

There's less opportunities for scammers and fraudsters to fish in trouble water, like what happened in other state under more delinquent financial administrators.

[@akane8615]

Penang is a beautiful state, it's nice to know the history back to the sultanate of malay. I hope penang and Malaysia will continue to prosper in the future with proper governance n full of harmony, love and respect.

Penang is my hometown I love. It brought industrialation and tourism for the state and country.

It's the Chinese who is responsible for its prosperity. Very similar to Singapore.

[@vikramsidhartha4730]

Well done Penang

[@tanchye1720]

Where there’s a major Chinese present, the state prospers. Simple.

[@haha-lu1rw]

Agree absolutely
From : Singapore 🇸🇬🤠

[@johndoe09]

Vietnamese consider a Chinese people. 60% of Vietnamese and Chinese came from the same roots. Why Vietnam still a third world country? Where your prospers shit?

[@sjelucten7150]

True, according a study in the west, a society with 20% Chinese would prosper, our country Indonesia only has 5% Chinese descendants, so the prosperity is limited to the Chinese and those whose works related to the Chinese and corrupt government officials. Indonesia needs at least another 1650 businesses in order to lift up the people in the country. Native Indonesians are more interested in becoming civil servants than starting a business.

[@kwloo778]

hardly surprising that Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah at the bottom when comes to economic development....

[@tanchye1720]

You got my point.
In Malaysia, traditional Malay mindset is a major obstacle to their progress.
Could Penang becomes independent one day…I wonder.

Before the Uk /Francis Light come to this land ,this island penang belonged to Siam (Thailand ).

[@Zerpentsa6598]

Most of the semiconductors were not "produced" in Malaysia but had the packaging done in Malaysia. The value of the final chips far outweigh the actual value added in Malaysia. In the fact, the design, deposition, resist, lithography, etching, ionisation are usually done elsewhere.

[@user-tx2xj3vs5w]

Now why i know 13 May happened 😢😢😢

[@juanpablo-hz3dq]

Meanwhile, the state of Kelantan is the poorest state in Malaysia. The people suffer from corrupt individuals sitting in the government. While those corrupt individuals become richer, the people become poorer.

[@stevehoe5017]

Penang having all the potentials, ample land, location, supports and people to developing like Singapore.

[@imanabdullah3263]

Penang is the San Francisco of Asean ...

[@jayroger4550]

The Chinese Japanese and Koreans are all hardworking people with great self discipline. They are an asset to any country. They are the reason why their countries prosper.

[@quancs1598]

Due to super obvious reasons . Chinese boss duh ……

[@meagatfazukar]

Enough! Pulau Pinang (Penang) is already great, that is why outsiders want it so badly to exploit it since decades. They outsiders completely destroyed the sea, the river, the shore and hills for greed. By systematically rid of natives and the poor they are making every poor family living in store room units w whole family forever slaving in shifts for businessesmen. Hong Kong Singapore style, money over future living. No more outsiders no more businesmen of this toxic. Please leave this beautiful country alone.

[@leealex24]

Penang will be Taiwan of ASEAN. Klang Valley will be the Silicon Valley/Tech and commercial hub in the region.
