DISCOVER MALAYSIA     Penang     Malaysia in microcosm, linked by bridge to the mainland, Penang is the country's major Indian Ocean island resort. Its luxuriant spice and fruit plantation-covered tropical interior rises to over 2,700 ft - a funicular will take you to the peak - and the beautiful coastline is broken by bays and beaches on the north coast. This is the setting of a number of impressive resort hotels; and Georgetown, whose colonial architecture, temples, bargain-filled bazaars and old Chinatown reflect an exotic past.
