This week on Made in Malaysia, we explore Penang! Specifically, the Penang Walkabouts, a community-driven initiative organised by a group of like-minded residents and non-residents of Penang. Its aim is to experience the city’s vibrancy and charm while also promoting a pedestrian-friendly environment, and supporting local businesses. So we speak to Robert Teh, about how this excursion on foot provides an avenue to meet new people, discover hidden gems and appreciate the beauty and diversity of Penang, all while getting some exercise in.
