But have you ever wondered how would this heritage island look like from the sky? Apparently, this award-winning photojournalist has all of the answers for us. And it is magical.
Penang From A Bird’s Eye View
Recently, Elaton Publishing announced that the ‘Over Penang’ book by David ST Loh has won the National Library of Malaysia (Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia) Book Award 2020 under the English category. The book is all about looking at Penang from a new perspective. Capturing the vibrant, historical, and fascinating Penang in a bird’s eye view.
Intimate Insights Of The Pearl Of The Orient
All of the majestic images are captured by a drone from way up where the air currents flow. Adding intimacy to each of the images are paragraphs of new interpretation. In the book, the author talks fondly of familiar landscapes, buildings, street scenes, and festivals on his much-loved island home.
Launched in July 2019
The book was helmed by David ST Loh as the author and photographer, with the editorial team of writer, Bettina Chua Abdullah, editor, Gareth Richards, book designer, Allie Hill, and overall project coordinator Rebecca Lee to put the book together.

Beamed with pride from this achievement, the Penang Chief Minister, YAB Chow Kon Yeow proudly uses ‘Over Penang’ as gifts to visiting dignitaries, guests, and investors who visit him.
