GEORGE TOWN: Penang is regarded as the safest state in Malaysia and the 77th safest place in the world, according to the latest rankings from Numbeo, a global collector of data about cities and countries worldwide.
It is partly due to the more than 1,300 public security cameras creating a 24/7 “omnipresence” of authorities all over the state.
