28 Interesting Photographs Capture Street Scenes of Penang, Malaysia in the Early 1980s
The name of "Penang" comes from the modern Malay name Pulau Pinang, which means "island of the areca nut palm". The name Penang may refer either to the island of Penang (Pulau Pinang) or the state of Penang (Negeri Pulau Pinang).
Located at the intersection of Asia’s great kingdoms and and Europe's powerful colonial empires, the island of Penang has long served as the link between Asia’s two halves and an important outlet to the markets of Europe and the Middle East.
These 28 interesting color photographs of Penang were taken by Japanese photographer Doi Kuro in 1984.
