PENANG: Penang has been ranked the 10th most liveable city in Asia in a survey of 254 cities.

While the state showed an improvement from 12th place five years ago, Kuala Lumpur dropped two notches to ninth.

Singapore leads in the survey followed by Kobe with Tokyo and Osaka tied in third position.

The other cities are Hong Kong (fifth), Macao (sixth), Taipei (seventh) and Bangkok (eighth).

The non-liveable cities in Asia are Karachi, Pyongyang, Islamabad, Dhaka and Dili.

Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon said: “Five years ago, Penang was ranked 12th while Kuala Lumpur was seventh.

“I hope Penang will continue to improve its ranking, not only for the expatriates but the locals as well.”
