Georgetown, located on the island of Penang or Pulau Pinang, right off the coast of Peninsula Malaysia, was set up as a port city by the British during the British colonisation of Malaya in 1786. During that time, the British ruled over the native Malays of the land, brought & attracted other people from other parts of the empire & other people from the region, especially from China & India. Therefore, after more than two centuries, it has made Georgetown a melting pot of cultures. It even birthed the city's own unique identity & customs. Today, the city is known famously for its historical colonial architecture & history while celebrating multi-culturalism. In most parts of the world, colonial pasts are rejected & hated. However, the city acknowledges colonialism as the key driver for building the city's multi-cultural & rich identity. This photographic journey shows how the city is adapting to modernisation while preserving its rich past.
