Penang (Malay: Pulau Pinang) is a state in Malaysia which is located on the north-west coast of Peninsular Malaysia by the Strait of Malacca. It is the second smallest state in Malaysia after Perlis and yet is the eighth most populous. The name "Penang" comes from the modern Malay name Pulau Pinang, which means island of the betel nut tree (Areca catechu), family Palmae. All these names can refer either to the island of Penang, the state of Penang or sometimes the state capital, George Town.
