Many of these landscapes cannot be isolated from the énclave as they are integral to and part of its cultural mosaic and character. Perhaps the most important are the Penang Hill hill-station landscape and the ‗Waterfall‘ Botanic Gardens. The latter is an under-valued ‗garden of the empire‘—a garden that significantly underpinned the development and historical and botanical stature of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. This paper reviews the cultural significance of colonial botanic gardens as they were established around the world during the scientific explosion of the late 1800s.

  • PENANG HOT AIR BALLOON FIESTA PENANG CHINESE NEW YEAR FEBRUARY 1 & 2 Feb 2020 CELEBRATION (MIAOHUI) 2 Feb 2020
    Penang is a vibrant State with its capital, George Town, having the rare distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a true melting pot of cultures with its blend of Eastern and Western influences. Retaining many of the values adopted during its era of British rule, Penang bears a charm that is unique to itself. A bustling city where excitements and festivities never end, whether you are drawn to the drama of a street parade, the spirituality of a prayer ritual or the beauty of an avant- garde theatre performance, there is bound to be an event around the corner waiting to be experienced. The people in Penang celebrate all year round festivals including religious, cultural and arts. These festivals happen almost every month; such as the acrobatic lion dances during Chinese New Year, the intricate weaving of Ketupat (rice dumplings) during Hari Raya Aidilfitri (Eid Mubarak) and the unbelievable body piercings that are seen during Thaipusam (a Hindu religious festival). Home-grown arts festivals are increasingly popular with global travellers such as the highly anticipated George Town Festival and the international award-winning George Town Literary Festival. In addition, sports events play a large role too in putting Penang on the world map. The annual Penang Bridge International Marathon held on the First Penang Bridge is popular around the globe among marathoners and sports enthusiasts. The Penang Dragon Boat Regatta and Penang International Dragon Boat Festival are as much a display of physical strength as it is a cultural spectacle. * All event information is correct at time of print and is subject to change without prior notice.

  • French Heritage Trail in Penang
    The Embassy of France in Malaysia presents: I T Y G U I D - C E - FrenchPenang, Heritage Malaysia Trail A French Heritage Trail in Penang French people have been present in Penang since the very beginnings of the city. From Church Street and Bishop Street (which owe their names to a French church and a French bishop!), to great schools such as Convent Light Street or the Saint Xavier Institution, and to villages and plantations on the Peninsular side of Penang – Kampung Val d’Or, Kampung Alma or the Malakoff Plantations – there is a lot of French heritage in Penang. Penang was once nicknamed “The Montpellier of the Indies” – a reference to the good climate of Penang, comparable to the city in Southern France! introduction Penang could even have become a French colony! After the French Revolution of 1789, Rear-Admiral de Sercey had been sent from France with significant forces to impose the abolition of slavery on the then French territory of Ile-de-France (now Mauritius). But he also tried to extend French possessions in the region and, in July 1796, with a strong armada of six frigates, he set sail from Ile-de-France with the intention of seizing Penang from the British. The attempt was short lived, though: having suffered losses in a battle against British ships North of Sumatra on 9 September 1796, Admiral de Sercey decided to abandon his project. Penang did not become French… Nevertheless, history continues! In 2018, a “sister cities” agreement was signed between Penang and the French city of Arles - both are listed as UNESCO World Heritage.
