In the early 16th century, Portuguese traders have been sailing to the Far East searching for spices. They came across a small uninhabited island where they could replenish fresh water supplies, which they then named it “Pulo Pinaom”. The island was part of the Kedah Sultanate. Its strategic location at the northern entry to the Straits of Malacca has made it a natural harbour during the monsoon m

onths for Arabian, Chinese, European and Indian ships. Inevitably, it became a hunting ground for pirates. Since the 17th century, Kedah have been sending “Bunga Emas” (Gold Flowers) to Siam (Thailand) as an acknowledgement of the Siam King’s sovereignty. In the 18th century, the spice and o***m trade between the East and West had become extremely lucrative. The Dutch dominated the Far East spice trade and the British too needed to establish themselves in the region. Thus, in 1765 Francis Light was instructed by his Company, Jourdain Sullivan and de Souza to establish better trade relations in this part of the world. In 1771, the Sultan of Kedah offered Captain Francis Light the island of Penang in return for protection from the Siamese and Burmese armies who were constantly threatening Kedah. This treaty never materialised as Francis Light's superiors refused to offer any aid. Captain Francis Light left Kedah for Junk Ceylon (Phuket, an island off southern Thailand) in 1772 to setup trade activities with India, southern Siam and northern Malay Peninsula. At that time, the British were involved in the Napolean war in Europe. Light was asked by the East India Company based in Madras to obtain Pulau Pinang to setup a base to repair British navy ships and as a trading post for trade between China, India and the archipelago. In 1786, Francis Light acted as middleman in securing Penang from Sultan Abdullah of Kedah in return for a promise of British protection from his enemies. The Sultan of Kedah was not aware that Light had acted without the approval of his superiors when making the promosi. Light landed in that part of Penang now known as the Esplanade on July 17, 1786 with a small group of civilians and naval staff. On August 11, 1786, the Union Jack was hoisted as Captain Francis Light, known as founder of Penang officially took possession of the island for the Crown. The island was named "The Prince of Wales Island” as the acquisition date fell on the prince’s birthday. The settlement in the Eastern Cape of the island was called Georgetown named after the King of England, George III. In 1790, Sultan Abdullah formed an army to get rid of the Dutch and English after the Company had failed to provide military protection when Kedah was attacked by Siam. He assembled his men at Seberang Prai (Province Wellesley) to retake Penang Island but was defeated by Captain Francis Light who had carried out night raids on the enemy's fortress. The following year, Sultan Abdullah signed a treaty with the British, officially handing over Penang Island to the British. As part of the treaty, the Sultan of Kedah is paid 6,000 Spanish dollars annually. Captain Francis Light was appointed Superintendent of Prince of Wales Island. The first settlement in Penang was at the present Esplanade area which was a swampy, malaria infected area at that time. Fort Cornwallis, the island’s main defense was located at the same area. In order to expedite clearing of thick undergrowth around that site, Light loaded the ship’s cannons with silver dollars and fired it deep into the jungle. The township was named George Town after King George III of Britain. Four original streets of George Town were Beach Street, Light Street, Pitt Street (now Masjid Kapitan Keling Street) and Chulia Street, all of which still form the main thoroughfares of the modern city. When Light first took over the island, there were less than 1,000 Malay fishermen living on the island. To encourage settlers, Light introduced Penang as a free port in order to attract traders away from nearby Dutch trading post. In addition, new comers are allowed to claim as much land as they could clear. Captain Light's term as the first Superintendent of the Prince of Wales Island came to an end in 1794. He died of Malaria on October 21, 1794 at the age of 54 and was buried at the Protestant cemetery at the end of Northam Road (now known as Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah). He was survived by Martina Rozells, a local Eurasian of Portuguese descent and son, William Light who later founded the city of Adelaide, Australia. After Francis Light's death, Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Wellesley arrived in Penang to coordinate the defenses of the island. In 1800, Lieutenant-Governor Sir George Leith secured a strip of land across the channel from the island and named it Province Wellesley (Seberang Prai). This gave Penang control over the harbour and food supplies from the mainland. The annual payment to Sultan of Kedah was increased to 10,000 after the acquisition. Today, the Penang State comprises both Penang Island and Province Wellesley and, the State Government still pays RM 18,800.00 to the Sultan of Kedah annually. In 1805, Penang was elevated from a colonial status to that of a Residency. A new Governor, the honourable Philip Dundas was appointed into office. His assistant secretary was Thomas Stamford Raffles, future founder of Singapore in 1819. In 1832, under the British administration in India, the Straits Settlements comprising the states of Malacca, Singapore and Penang was formed. Penang became its capital but in 1935 Singapore took over as capital of the Straits Settlements. At the end of the 19th century, rich deposits of tin from neighbouring state and relentless demands of the Industrial Revolution in Britain saw Penang enjoying a trade boom. This also includes trading of rubber, nutmeg, clove, sugar, coconut and pepper. In time, Penang’s properity attracted immigrants from various parts of the world, especially those from Europe, China and India. European planters and Chinese towkays (business leaders) made their money in the plantations and mines in other northern states but built their mansions in George Town and sent their children to school here. In 1905 the first hydro-electric scheme in Penang was completed, giving the island her first electricity. Penang got its first electric tramway in 1906. By mid 20th century, other modes of transport such as rickshaws, bullock carts and horse-carts gradually disappeared from the roads of Penang. By the 1930s, Penang had become a busy port with ocean liners and coastal steamers docking at Swettenham Pier or anchoring in the waters of the channel. Penang became an entertainment centre, with cabarets, cinemas, amusement parks and gambling establishments. When Wall Street crashed, the economy of Penang suffered badly. Before the people of Penang could recover from the depression, the Second World War broke out on December 8, 1941. Penang was attacked by the Japanese and the British fled to Singapore living the island defenceless. The people of Penang live in fear and fled to the interior to escape from ruthless Japanese army. The days of the Japanese Kempettai were the days of horror, torture and executions. On September 4, 1945, the Japanese surrendered to the British Forces. Remarkably, many of George Town’s historic building were virtually unscathed by the allied bombings. After World War II, the Straight Settlements were dissolved and Penang became part of Malayan Union, before it became part of Federation of Malaya in 1948. Malaya gained independence in August 31, 1957 and Penang was one of its 13 component states. Penang was officially known as Negeri Pulau Pinang. George Town, which has the oldest municipal history in the country, was accorded City status by Queen Elizabeth II on 1st January 1957.

历史

槟城地图
槟榔屿此地理名词最早出现在明代永乐年间成书的《郑和航海图》中。15世纪中,一部中国舟师使用的海道针经《顺风相送》就纪录从马来半岛的崑崙岛(Pulo Condore)到槟榔屿的航行指南,可见在15世纪槟榔屿已经和中国通商。

殖民时期
1767年,缅甸入侵暹逻的7年战争后形势大乱,1782年,泰国拉玛一世杀掉了郑王篡位、创立曼谷王朝后不久,英国趁火打劫,要求吉打苏丹割让槟榔屿,交换条件是:东印度公司对吉打苏丹提供军事保护,以对抗缅甸和暹逻的入侵。

1786年3月,法蘭西斯·萊特成功地迫使吉打苏丹同意将槟榔屿租借给英国东印度公司,从此东印度公司以槟榔屿为英国海军基地,莱特成为第一任总督。莱特在任期间鼓励华人及其他移民进入槟榔屿,槟榔屿日益繁荣。

1791年,槟榔屿对岸的威省部分也被割让给英国。
莱特死于1792年时,当时估计人口已近一万人。绝大多数杂居在码头处极不卫生的地方,很多人因而死亡。连莱特本人也是受害者,他因疟疾而在1794年10月21日逝世,终年54岁。

1826年,英殖民将槟城、新加坡、马六甲三港口整合为海峡殖民地。

华人移民
根据史书记载,莱特初抵槟岛,只有居民58人。其中三人即张理、邱兆进及马福春在丹绒道光过着打渔生活。这三位客家人在1745年来到槟城,死后化身成为大伯公,比莱特早来41年。在这方面,曾任华民政务司的巴素博士这样说:“一位姓邱的客家铁匠,一位姓张的教书先生及一位姓马的烧炭人,他们都被尊奉为华侨的开辟者。”巴素也引述史料指出,槟榔屿可以说是华人第一个被鼓励移民的地方。
槟榔屿在早期也是孙中山及中国同盟会和革命党在东南亚的根据地。除了创办光华日报, 革命人士也在槟榔屿组织“槟城阅书报社”鼓吹革命。黄花岗起义即辛亥“三·二九”广州起义就是孙中山和赵声、黄兴、胡汉民、邓泽如等同盟会重要骨干于1910年11月13日在槟榔屿议决和策划的。据说, 黄花岗七十二烈士就有4人来自槟榔屿,目前可考的只有罗仲霍。

独立后至今
1957年马来亚独立后,槟城成为联邦其中一州,槟城首席部长(即州政府最高行政长官)从那时起一直由华人担任。槟城和马六甲、沙巴及砂劳越四州一样,没有世袭君主,槟城名义上的最高领袖为州元首,由最高元首任命。

名称
莱特将槟榔屿命名为“韦尔斯太子岛”,但此名挂不住,甚至连以后的史书也少提及,而是惯称为“槟榔屿”。为什么叫做槟榔屿呢?它又不是盛产槟榔的地方。原来这个小岛的形状如同槟榔,因而得名[來源請求]。马来人一早就将此地叫做“丹绒”(Tanjong,意为海角),后来马来文译为Pulau Pinang。至于乔治市则一直沿用下来,直到今天我们还是把槟城的首府称之为乔治市,即便在1957年独立后,也不易名,因为它已经载入史册。

今天要大家来看看槟城的著名地标之一,也是东南亚的第一大佛寺-鹤山极乐寺!槟城极乐寺(马来语:Kuil Kek Lok Si),全称鹤山极乐禅寺,为该国乃至东南亚规模最大与建筑最宏伟的华人佛寺。每逢春节夜幕低垂时,极乐寺会举办一年一度的新春灯会,极乐寺成立百年来,许多名人留下题字和墨宝,集合三大名人的墨宝于此庙!世界唯一一个啊!

1905年,慈禧太后特召妙莲法师进京,御赐两部清朝御刻大藏经《龙藏经》、紫袈裟与“钦命方丈”、“奉旨回山”等銮驾,并赏赐银牌一面以及匾额“大雄宝殿”和“海天佛地“。

据说极乐寺建好以后,香火鼎盛,惹到被冷落的宫庙,而有人发起谣言。极乐寺有秘密通道,每天运送妓女入庙,供法师和僧侣们玩弄,非清净之地。
妙莲法师听后,十分气恼。为证清白,在极乐寺庙里拿菜刀自宫。

极乐寺最宏伟的地标“观音像”于2002年建竣,铜像高30.2米,耗资七千余万令吉打造,其周围由16根大柱围建的91米高八角亭遮盖观音像,为全球最大的室外观音像。

每天天未亮, 老闆就會把羅里停在路旁, 開始燒水準備一天的小生意。他的顧客都是住在當地的老熟客與路經的上班族。老闆沒有任何特調, 沒有獨特的泡咖啡技術, 但他卻有著低調, 好客且珍惜人情的態度。
路經的話記得來打包一包人情味咖啡。
其實檳城處處有驚喜,有時那微不足道的小攤,往往隱藏著深層的故事。
感恩所有嚴守SOP的大家,保護自己也保護大眾!

Every morning before the sun rises, this tauke will drive his little truck and stop by his usual roadside spot. He will then start preparing the hot water in order to begin his business day. The stall usually visited by the local residents around and the workers who passby.
This little humble traditional coffee truck have nothing special. Tauke do not have any specialty or any canggih coffee bancuh skills. What he have is a humble, polite and thankful attitude.
In case you get a chance to passby the stall, remember to come and dabao his humble coffee.
Penang is always full of surprises, you wont know what is behind it until you approach it!
Appreciate those who follow SOP during this period of time which help to protect yourself and protect the others!

今天来聊聊槟城一段鲜为人知的历史,槟城是马来西亚唯一参与世界一战的战场。故事要从德意志帝国海军的埃姆登号小巡洋舰说起。

Mousquet,号残骸依然保留在muka head外海至今,此次战役被称为“槟城战役”。槟城因此在一战浩荡的历史上留名,是马来西亚唯一参与了一战的州属,但是却鲜少本地人知道,历史课本也找不到这一段关于一战的记载。以后有机会再跟大家分享槟城的二战故事。

莫定标娘惹糕点厂有80多年历史了,一开始创办人莫定标先生只是供应批发给沿街叫卖的小贩,后来才慢慢开放,而今年也开设小食堂给游客们来这里吃食打卡。

入口处看起来不起眼,可是进入才发现内有乾坤。第一次来到不知情的人还以为这里是工厂,不敢贸贸然走进去。

小食堂装设非常简陋以南洋一带常见的家居装饰,是打卡圣地之一。娘惹糕点价格不贵,每样点一个慢慢品尝细细品味。不需要担心吃不完。。。这里也有供应槟城著名的“叻沙”面食。

感谢MCO依然服务我们大家的前线人员, 小贩, 送餐员等等. 当然却也不会忘记每天准时到住家售卖孟加拉面包的印度大哥们!
这种流动式的孟加拉面包车是我们独有的文化. 在乔治市里看到的都是以脚车运载, 而进入住宅区的则是使用摩托车运载.
其实孟加拉面包并不是源自孟加拉. 它其实是源自槟城调合路的Ismalia Bakery. 当初其印裔创办人和其友人在1920年合股创办名为Panggali Roti的面包厂. Panggali 在淡米尔文为股东的意思, 但由于发音相似, 以讹传讹, 变成现在我们所谓的Bengali Roti.
所以Bengali Roti 可谓是槟城历史悠久的大众小食呢!

Appreciate all the frontliners, hawkers, delivery man and etc for providing services to us during the MCO. Also, not to forget our Bengali Roti motorman who always come on time to our neighbourhood!
This mobile Bengali roti truck is one of the unique culture that we have in this city. We can see they are using bicycle with the roti truck in Georgetown area, but when comes to the neighbourhood, they will use motor instead of the bicycle.
People always thought that Bengali roti is originated from Bengal, but actually it is not. Bengali roti was actually bake and founded by the Indian owner of Ismalia Bakery at Transfer Road, Penang in 1920. The indian owner joint venture with his friend to start up this where he name it Panggali Roti. The term Panggali means shareholder or kin in Tamil. Year after year, it has become Bengali roti where all of us calling it as it sounds like Panggali.
Bengali roti is now having 100 years old history and is one of the favourite snacks for Penangite!

老板说这个猪肠粉是一个当厨师的朋友用客家面的方式改良而成,朋友教他,十年前他就开始卖到现在,原先只卖普通猪肠粉和咖喱猪肠粉而已。

客家猪肠粉其实就是简单的猪肠粉+肉碎+鱼丸+芡汁,加上酱油,黑醋和辣椒酱提味。吃起来微酸,微咸,配上猪肠粉顺滑的口感,十分美味,是一道特别的美食,目前槟城还没看见第二档在卖啊!

张弼士故居曾荣获联合国教科文组织的古迹保护奖,著名旅游网站lonely planet曾在2011评定蓝屋为世界十大最宏伟的宅邸。故居始建于1897年,府邸内有38间房间、5个花岗岩铺面的庭院、7座楼梯和220扇木制百叶窗窗户,占地5万3000平方英尺,建筑面积3万4000平方英尺,是东南亚现存最大的中国园林式住宅。鼎盛时期,他的资产高达8000万白银,当年清朝政府全年年收入财7000万白银,堪称南洋第一富商,说是当时的世界华人首富也不为过。蓝屋是东南亚现存最大的清代中国园林式住宅,历史价值,可见一斑。这里也是近年爆红的电影《摘金奇缘》的拍摄地,电影里奢华的排场竟能体现当年这里的形态。最新一部作品则是netflix深受好评台湾马来西亚合作,改编自小说《鬼新娘》的《彼岸之嫁》剧集。

槟城植物园于1884年成立,是当时英殖民政府主要的植物研究中心,而且很多植物样本都是取自植物园后山,当年,英殖民政府除了在槟城设立植物园,同样也在新加坡设立植物园,专门作为研究用途,因此槟城植物园及新加坡植物园有姐妹园之称。

植物园是从一座原始森林所发展出来的公园,由群山树林包围着,浑然天成。因为以前这里只允许外国人进入,所以又称之为“红毛花园”。植物园成立上百年来,可以说是槟城人最爱拍摄婚纱的地方啊!槟城老一辈的人,结婚当天娶新娘以后都会开车去植物园请摄影师拍照留念。

这里拥有全马来西亚第一个瀑布滤水站!上网看资料发现这里二战时期曾经是日军据点,这里曾经发现日军军火库和运送军火的铁轨!

这里也是老槟城八景之一“公园涌水”
可见当年的槟城诗人也为她的美丽动容而写了诗记录下来了

相信大家都在追看最近火爆的《小娘惹》剧集,看看菊香和月娘母女的奋斗史。当年中国晚清时期动荡不安,华人下南洋寻找出路,来到南洋扎根,和土著结婚,后代男的称为峇峇,女的称为娘惹。因为这个结合,产生南洋特有的峇峇娘惹文化,结合中西还有南洋本土的风情。

郑景贵是有名的甲必丹也是晚清敕封的二品花翎官,中国依然可以找到他的故居。小娘惹的剧集就是来此取景,演员也来此学习娘惹的文化,还原娘惹生活的原貌!

古迹专家李乾朗教授曾经说,最美的闽南建筑不在福建,在槟城,那是龙山堂邱公司;最美的粤式建筑也不在广东,在槟城,那是慎之家塾。慎之家塾便是郑景贵的生祠。

今天我们带大家去槟城南部的小城镇Teluk Kumbar寻找特别的古早味咖啡。躲在大路旁,静静不起眼的守护这小镇,给小镇的人提供咖啡提供一天的能量!一眼望去,你就会感觉到什么叫做时光倒流,店内的摆设,和器具都是传承好几代人了。这里最特别的是牛油咖啡。古早味面包配上牛油咖啡。堪称一绝,面包皮烤了以后有些苦涩,承托咖啡的微苦,让kaya显得更香甜。牛油咖啡的浓郁,也加强了味道的层次,

一座城市避免不了發展, 一個社會避免不了進步。
但如何在發展與進步之餘, 依然保存著城市原有的人文與古蹟是個值得探討的問題。
檳城在2008年被列入世界文化遺產, 但隨著發展的洪流, 許多曾經富有歷史價值的人事與物也漸漸地淡出我們眼簾。
不懂現在的檳城人是否還知道還有這二手書店的存在。它可是挖寶的好地方, 您找不到的書籍往往都可以在這地方找到。
現在的二手書店已從以前三到四間店舖變成現在的小小一間了。
無奈之餘也多了份深思。
深思我們是否懂得陪伴我們長大的這座城市其背後的歷史價值, 故事與文化。

City development and community improvement is definitely unavoidable, but how to maintain and keeping the humanities and culture of this city is something we must think of during the development.
Penang was listed as UNESCO World Heritage in year 2008. However, the urban development has slowly eliminated many historical and traditional stuff from this city.
Not sure if there is still Penangite remember there is such a place call second hand book store in Penang where you can dig bunch of treasure book from it. Sad to say that, this book store size has now been greatly reduce.
This makes us start to think of are we really appreciate and understand the story, history and the value behind this city that grow us up.

又是到了年尾冬至了!
相信大家今天一定在搓汤圆吧 ?
今天这档汤圆是槟城历史悠久的汤圆档口。
以前档主在头条路春满园一带贩卖,
十年前春满园拆除建了新的酒店St Giles,
而搬来姓氏桥对面贩卖。
每年都大排长龙。。。
由于排队人潮长,等待时间久,
我们决定放弃购买,回家自己搓。
祝大家冬至快乐,希望明年疫情快点过去会更好。

洋人惧怕修炼成精的石狮子?槟城最好的风水宝地!广福宫观音亭! →→如果你喜歡,記得訂閱我的頻道哦: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs3PDpY-cIMOM2GX0S5Fawg? 槟城椰脚街广福宫观音亭是槟城的百年老庙之一。清嘉庆五年(1800年)由旅居槟城的广东人和福建人联合创立,是槟城最古老的庙宇,历史已经超越两百年。庙宇的香火鼎盛,是槟城人代代相传的信仰中心。至今仍是岛上华人寄托的信仰之地。每逢初一、十五或神诞,必定香火鼎盛,善男信女四方而来,膜拜祈祷,抽签问卜,热闹非凡。之前的观音庙,真的是古香古色,经历的几百年的香火薰陶,乌黑又带有一份神秘感,令人不禁竖起一份敬仰,可惜近年修复翻新后这种感觉已经不存在了!这座槟城最古老的华人庙宇,不纯粹属于佛教教寺,亦非道教的道观,它是当地华人民间信仰佛道混合的反映 关于观音亭有几个传说第一个是广为人知的三口井传说也是唯一一个被证实的。据说广福宫有三口井,而这三口井两个在明一个在隐,这个说法在坊间流传了百多年。 第二个传说就是没有火车的火车站分享的风水被洋人用钟楼封杀了. 第三个传说则是石狮子精的传说。 第四个传说则是日军轰炸炸弹在庙前坏掉的传说. https://youtu.be/jJxQ87DM68k

We sad to know that government had announced Ferry service will be replace. We hope government could reconsider the proposal. Ferry had been an icon for Penang tourist as well as collective memory for generations of Penangites. Hong Kong preserve its tram service & ferry. Why cant we do the same ?

我们得知伤心的消息,政府宣布了渡轮即将在2022年退役。我们恳请政府从新考虑此建议。渡轮对外对游客是标志性的特色之一,对在地槟城人也是几代人的集体回忆。香港依然保留电车和渡轮,何以我们无法保留呢?

槟城渡轮服务自1894年起, 就开始乘载槟州子民横阔槟威海峡。这126年来渡轮坚守岗位, 渡轮也已成了槟城标志性的公共交通工具, 也是无数老槟城人的回忆。
随着两座槟威大桥落实与通车, 横阔槟威两地变得极为方便。渡轮也逐渐地从现代槟城人眼里消失。不晓得现在的年轻人是否懂得渡轮的存在, 或有无使用过其服务。
交通部于今年指出将购买新渡轮以便取代现在年事已高的渡轮。若这项工程确定定案, 那么现在的渡轮将会成为槟城的回忆与历史。
在那之前不如找个时间搭乘渡轮
, 吹个海风, 感受那百年历史的韵味。

Penang ferry have been operate and transport Penangite across the Penang straits since 1894. The ferry has been in duty for 126 years and has become one of the iconic public transport in Penang.
With the existence on both of the Penang bridge, crossing the straits has become very convenient without the needs of wait for the ferry. This making ferry slowly faded out as an option for Penangite to cross the straits. By the way, are the youngster nowadays know the existence of Penang ferry or have they use it before?
The transport ministry propose that they will fund to purchase a new ferry to replace the current old Penang ferry. If this really happen, then current Penang ferry will become a history for the Penangite.
Why not get some times and travel yourself across the straits using the ferry? Get a feel on how a hundred years history transportation like.
