'ating F enang l Malaysirr The first liberty port of the deployment was the Malaysian resort town of Penang. Located on the Westem outlet of the Straits of Malacca, Penang was vir- tually unknoum to even the most seasoned Westpac veteran prior to our visit in early April. Fondly de- scribed as the Pearl of the Orient, the city had a dis- tinct British Colonial charm. Hotels in Penang were plen- tiful and relatively inexpen- sive. Much of the crew took advantage of the maximum liberty policy and got away from it all at one of Penang's tropical resorts. Watersports, sightseeing, shopping, or lounging at a pool side bar were the most popular pursuits by day, while much of the crew gathered for Stein Night at the Fun Pub after dark. While two-thirds of the 66 Penang, Malaysia crew relaxed ashore, the duty sections hosted an open ship visit for lowl rcs- idents and tourists. llun- dreds of people visited thc ship over several days. With sights like the Reclining Buddha and Kom- tar Tower, hotels like the Park Royal and Continental, and hot spots like the Fun Pub and Hong Kong liar, Penang, Malaysia was defi- nitely the biggest surprise of Westpac '91 . xl.
