Do you speak the local language? Malay?


Yes (along with Chinese and its dialects: cantonese & hokkien). The national language is Malay (Bahasa Melayu), but most people speaks English here.


Penang, beautiful island. I was there not too long ago. I would make the 12+ hr journey to return, just to taste the BBQ stingray again. Awesome!


In fact, all Malaysian speak Malay. It is a must-learn language in our public education system.
