Sentral Tower, George Town, Penang (2 November 2008)
Built in the eighties, before strict regulation on height within the heritage zone was implemented, Bangunan AHP2 towers over the inner city of George Town. It is and will remain the tallest building in the area, as the area is today within the George Town World Heritage Site, where new building heights are strictly controlled.
Bangunan AHP2 is 14 storeys high, with a 5-storey car park and a basement. When it was first built, it was known as the Development & Commercial Bank Building or D&C Bank. Later on, it became known as Bangunan Maybank Trust. Later on it became known as Wisma Manilal, before it was bought over by the real estate trust Amanah Harta Tanah PNB2, or AHP2, which is managed by Pelaburan Hartanah Nasional Bhd. The building is presently owned by Sentral College, which will be based there from November 2012.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
