skylee Posted May 21, 2005 at 03:16 AM Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 at 03:16 AM I don't quite understand the issue. To me, Penang is always 檳城. What are the other Chinese names in use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_Lee Posted May 23, 2005 at 07:36 PM Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 at 07:36 PM How come their state governnment intend to promote Penang as 檳榔嶼 for their tourism campaign in China? It seems people in Penang are far less addicted to betel nut chewing as the people in Taiwan are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
