Ramadan
Hi,
We'll be in Penang at the end of May for a few months. We're wondering how Ramadan effects day to day life there. Would be great to hear what we can expect. Thanks! |
Re: Ramadan
To be honest: you won't notice much of it, unless you will be actively seeking signs of it. Enjoy your stay in Penang!

Re: Ramadan
Thanks SushiFan - Good to know. We'll be staying in a hotel for a week whilst we look for a service apartment. Really looking forward to it. Been to Penang before but only for a short visit. It's always completely different when you stay in a place for a longer period.

Re: Ramadan
I think the most noticeable is if you have dealings with government departments it can be a busy holiday period so a higher chance that things will move a little slower as more people on a break, visiting family especially at the end.

Re: Ramadan
Thanks everyone. Shouldn't bother us too much then as we won't need to visit any government departments or get anything done. We'll be looking at various service apartments but I imagine this won't be a problem.

Re: Ramadan
Shouldnt be much different in Penang. Of course whether anything changes after the election is another matter entirely.

Re: Ramadan
Agree with the above, unless you like to eat Padang or other Malay food during the daylight hours. In other States it can be much more noticeable.
