Fort Cornwallis, Penang

Hari Sabtu 12 April 2008 merupakan famili time..... sabtu kali nie aku n famili telah melawat Kota Cornwallis, dibawah ini sikit cerita pasal kota nie
Fort Cornwallis in Penang is the largest intact fortress in Malaysia. When Captain Francis Light landed in Penang in 1786, on the cape which today becomes George Town, he built a simple stockade out of nibong palms. The tip of Penang Island where Fort Cornwallis was located was called Fort Point. Fort Cornwallis was named after the Governor-General of Bengal, Charles Marquis Cornwallis.
