It is the history of Georgetown <\/strong>on the island of Penang<\/strong>, founded by the British merchant Francis Light in 1786, that has made it what it is today: a multicultural city where mostly Malays, Indians and the Chinese live together in a more peaceful manner than I could have ever imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking through its streets, it is just as easy to find a mosque as a Hindu or Chinese temple. And all this rich mix in a city where its colonial past is still evident in its architecture and some of the churches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With such an amalgamation, no one should be surprised that this Malaysian city was declared a World Heritage Site<\/strong> in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
