Batu Maung

On the card is what you might have associated with Batu Maung in the late 70s when this card was likely mailed from Brunei (not Malaysia), with a Brunei stamp and rubber-stamped Brunei address.  However we take this opportunity to condense some words from Wikipedia to demonstrate what can happen.  Read on:  “Batu Maung is a residential neighbourhood near the southeastern tip of Penang Island, and adjacent to the town of Bayan Lepas and the Penang International Airport. Batu Maung is home to the island terminus of the Second Penang Bridge and the southern end of the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway. It is also surrounded by fishing villages.   Formerly an agricultural village, the development of Batu Maung into a residential neighbourhood began in the late 20th century; part of the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone lies within the township, which also houses the headquarters of WorldFish Center and a deepwater fishing port.”  Evolution indeed.  Grade: 3
