    TIL Province Wellesley (Seberang Prai) was named after the guy who later became Duke of Wellington, the guy who defeated Napoleon.

    And it was not random, he and a boatload of soldiers stopped at Penang while on a naval mission.

    Thought I wouldn’t have to buy a new one for a few more months. Time to go shopping.
