Fort Cornwallis, Padang Kota Lama

Fort Cornwallis, Padang Kota Lama
Fort Cornwallis is situated at the spot where Captain Francis Light was supposed to have landed in 1786. Originally a wooden structure, the fort was rebuilt between 1808 and 1810 with convict labour. It was named after Charles Marquis Cornwallis, a distinguished Governor General of India, and designed to protect the harbour from possible French attacks.

Today, much of the old fort remains, but its precincts have been converted into a public park and an open air theater. It is still guarded by old cannons, which were retrieved by the British from pirates who had captured them from the Johore Sultanate. The most famous of the cannons is Seri Rambai, which dates back to 1613. Local beliefs have it that childless women can become fertile by placing flowers in the barrel of the cannon and offering special prayers.

Address: Padang Kota Lama, 10200 Penang, Malaysia.
Opens: 8:30am to 7:00pm daily
Admission: RM1.00 per person

george town,penang

George Town, named by the British after King George III, is Penang’s capital city. The government centre and its financial heart, George Town is an interesting and bustling city with modern high rise buildings, cathedrals, mosques, government offices, temples, bazaars, shops and cafes. A myriad of delights, George Town is very compact – the older part of the city is a labyrinth of narrow lanes and alleyways, which makes it a pleasure to walk and sight-see.

Indeed, walking is highly recommended – a leisurely stroll will enable one to slowly drink in the many details that would otherwise be lost in a hurried tour. If walking is considered tiring, try a ride on the old but exciting trishaw.

history keratapi tanah melayu

History keretapi tanah melayu

Malaysia railway is formerly known as the Malayan
Railway Administration, it came to be known as
KTMB (Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad) after the
government led corporatisation in 1992. As the
only railway operator in Malaysia, the railway
remained wholly owned by the federal government.

The 1,669 Km Malaysia railway system dates back
to the British colonial era, when it was first built to
transport tin. Fares are generally reasonable, but
the low speed of the intercity trains on the narrow
gauge tracks make them not competitive with
other modes of transportation.
