Hongkongers are scouting properties in Malaysia, including Penang, in view of the recent unrest in Hong Kong.
Chief Minister Sdr Chow Kon Yeow said while it was still too early to say whether businesses in Hong Kong would be relocated to Penang; the state had seen a rise in interest from Hongkongers with regard to property investment.
“The people from Hong Kong may have some concerns pertaining to their future there (in Hong Kong).
“Meanwhile, Penang has always been the destination for investment, tourism and businesses,” he told a press conference at his office today.
Sdr Chow said that the private sector would jump at the chance should there be any opportunity from Hong Kong.

首长：更多港人询问槟置业情况
“槟城一直以来是投资者和游客的选择，不过，这段时间的确有更多香港人询问在槟城置业的一些门槛。”
槟州首长曹观友同志，是于周三下午，在记者会上面对记者提问关于香港局势是否对槟州有所影响，包括是否会让一些原本在香港投资的商家，把投资转入槟城时，这么回应。
他补充，香港的局势是否会令到投资者转移阵地，到其他东南亚城市如槟州投资，如今尚言之过早。
无论如何，数据显示香港人对槟州房产显示出了更浓厚的兴趣，他相信，本地的私人界尤其是房地产相关行业，能够针对局势做出应变，并从中获得机会。
