Cultural mix

Malaysia is rich in diversity, you have Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and others all living together. Penang is an intensified version of Malaysia, all those cultures and religions together in a smaller space. It's great to see everyone getting on, but at the same time everyone maintains their own cultural traditions. The are Hindu, Chinese and Buddhist temples, Churches and Mosques, all within walking distance in Georgetown, the biggest city and transport hub of Penang. There is also a little India and a Chinatown, with the little India having a street with just Muslim Indian businesses. Talking to Luqman and Anas we've got an insight into the day to day living between all the different cultures. They all speak to each other in Malay, but among themselves they speak their respective languages. There seems to be a great deal of mutual tolerance of all the differences. Maybe the most striking thing I saw in this regard was a large banner on a food market; it had the govenor of Penang (Chinese) stood next to an Indian man and a Malay man, with the words 'Happy Eid' written in Malay besides them all. I'm sure we can learn a lot from this
