George Town, Penang


I've listed this article for peer review because I've substantially rewritten the article & improved citations, selecting only government statistics, academic literature, economic studies, news sites and other official sources. This might be good enough for GA, but I'm keen to explore the possibility of further elevating George Town to FA status. Appreciate your kind assistance.
