Hemananthani Sivanandam

iGEORGETOWN Penang recently launched iGT Connect, a free e-newsletter which is published twice a month, for those who want to keep abreast of developments in George Town and Penang.
The e-newsletter is especially timely, as George Town had recently earned a listing as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

To receive this e-newsletter regularly and enjoy other member-benefits, visit the iGT website, www.igeorgetownpenang.com, and register as a member.

Articles are open for comment and members are welcome to share, debate and discuss everything from George Town’s food and places of interest to culture and developmental deliberations.

In association with iGT’s launch, iGeorgeTown Penang also introduced new features on its site which include iGT Photo, iGT Video and a Facebook cause "Why George Town, Penang needs our attention."

iGT Photo and iGT video highlight the many facets of Penang by showcasing interesting, humorous and poignant photos and videos, that have been sourced from various platforms such as YouTube as well as contributions from the public.

Meanwhile, the Facebook cause "Why George Town, Penang needs our attention" provides a platform for members to share their opinions on how they can contribute to the development of the city.

The site also features interesting and useful links to upcoming events in Penang, its culture, development, places to visit as well as links to blogs about the delicious Penang hawker food.

iGeorgeTown is a privately-funded information platform on giving integrated and comprehensive information about George Town.

It also provides valuable details of both George Town’s and Penang’s cultural and heritage, history and places of interests.

The portal is aimed to benefit a wide audience including local and international travellers, the mass media and local population.

It will also be useful to enhance the local economy, especially the travel and hospitality and arts industries and services.
