	Penang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Penang Hokkien is a variant of Minnan and is widely spoken by a substantial proportion of the Penang populace who are descendants of early Chinese settlers.

		Penang agriculture is mainly made up of the major export crops of rubber and oil palm and some cocoa, the food commodities comprising paddy, fruits, coconut, vegetables, livestock which is dominated by poultry and swine, fisheries and aquaculture, and new emerging industries such as ornamental fishes and floriculture[4].

	Aliran - Is the Penang State Government redundant? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Aliran is amazed that the people of Penang are being told that their State Government is not in charge of the administration of public transport in the state and therefore the State Government is redundant.
		The only valid point the Minister made in the whole press statement was to point out that the Penang State Government had not really thought of a viable alternative before proposing to terminate current incompetent bus operators.
		It is regrettable that whilst the Minister and the CVLB exhibit this selfish attitude preventing the State Government from dealing with problems within its own state, they do not appear to have any constructive or practical alternatives or proposals to alleviate the state’s public transport woes.

		Penang - State local government, traffic management committee chairman Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan is "washing his hands off" the issue of taxi drivers refusing to use the meter.

	Penang CM’s post: Umno marginalising Gerakan
		The writer is right to state inter alia that Umno’srecent criticism including against Penang Chief Minister Dr Koh Tsu Koon have shaken the foundations of the Barisan Nasional political partnership.
		The manner in which Umno leaders, including its division leaders, ‘hammered’ the chief minister of Penang clearly demonstrates that Umno has no respect for Gerakan and has ignored the so-called BN way to resolve issues through the official channel.
		Based on the current state of affairs, the Gerakan leadership must understand and be humble enough to appreciate that the chances of it retaining the chief minister’s post does not look bright in the future and there is a feeling that doom is on the horizon.
