Komtar

Shopping at KOMTAR, short for Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak and spending some time there is possible as it has department stores. cinemas, eateries and a wide range of marchandisers.

A viewing gallery on the 58th floor of the Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak offers a panoramic view of much of Penang island and the opposite shores across the straits. The RM 5.00 enterance ticket can be used as rebate for souviner purchaces.

The tower also houses the offices of the three tiers of local government-the Federal, State and Municipal-hence the saying "Penang people eat and shop in Chinatown and pay their bills in KOMTAR".
