Georgetown Penang has already been used as a location for many international film productions because it can be used to mimic almost any part of Asia due to its historic buildings and its multi-ethnic population, culture from which to draw supporting actors and extras.

In 1999,  The royal Court Room scenes in “Anna and The King” were filmed at the Grand Ballroom of Penang Town Hall while 19th Century Siam Port scenes were filmed at Khoo Kongsi.

In 2002, Malaysia’s own ex-James Bond girl Michelle Yeoh filmed part of her action-packed movie “The Touch”, a romantic adventure thriller at the imposing Cathay Hotel in Penang.

In 2007, the Chinese historical film about Sun Yat-Sen’s revolutionary life “Road to Dawn” was filmed entirely on Penang such as 120 Armenian Street, Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s Penang Base. At the same year, another Chinese espionage thriller film directed by Ang Lee, “Lust, Caution” also shooting the substitute scenes of early Hong Kong at Yeap Chor Ee building.

In 2008, drama serial of “The Little Nyonya” which produced by Singapore MediaCorp involves an extended Peranakan family story in Singapore. Part of the location were film in Penang at Pinang Peranakan Mansion or Baba-Nyonya museum, which has a rich legacy of antiques and heritage architecture.

In 2009, “The Blue Mansion”, film from Singapore director Glen Goei, is a quirky murder mystery about a wealthy Asian tycoon who dies suddenly under mysterious circumstances and returns as a ghost to try to uncover the secret of his death.It was filmed entirely on location in Penang at the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion

Others international movies such as Indochine (1992), Paradise Road (1997)

Filmmakers now look to Penang as a preferred film location  instead of the expensive Dollar & Euro economy of the west. It has so far been helpful in creating Penang’s image as a popular tourist destination.

Penang Hill Railway Upgrade – Penang Hill is one of Penang island’s featured attractions. The Penang Hill Railway is one of the country’s most valuable heritage assets as it is the only one of its kind left in Asia. It was constructed way back in 1923 by Arnold R Johnson, who had studied funiculars in Switzerland.

Lately the railway had been experiencing some failure but the line received a RM60 mil from federal government for upgrading. Currently the 82 years old system can only take 60 people each trip and passengers have to disembark at the middle station to take another funicular up the hill. The new system expected to transport up to 80 people per trip in about 10 minutes non-stop.

The Penang Hill Railway service will be stop from 22th Feb 2010 for the upgrading works.  During the closure, jeep would be used to travel up until the project was completed on July 2010.
