Marking 50 years of industrial success


Factories at Malaysia’s first Free Trade Zone in Bayan Lepas can be seen in this photo taken in 1991. This area was once water-logged padi fields.

PENANG will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its industrialisation journey next year, having made quantum leaps forward since 1972.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the state had curated a year-long series of events to celebrate its robust industrial eco-system imbued with advanced technology and future-proof offerings.
