I WOULD like to bring to the attention of your readers, including the columnists for The Star Media Group, that the capital of the state of Penang should always be spelt in two words, “George Town”, and not in a single word “Georgetown”.
“George Town” is the right and official spelling for this first city of Malaysia while “Georgetown” refers to places in the United States, with one being in Washington, D.C. where the Georgetown University is located.
