It's because they teach Mandarin in schools. Also I hear Hokkien is dying in Penang. Only the old folks speak hokkien nowadays. Maybe that's why.

BTW Hokkien kinda sounds like Klingon.

No, in penang we still speak hokkien in school with our teachers tongue.gif.

Hokkien is a must in Penang, because we have a lot of bananas there.

even Malays and indian speak with you in Hokkien.

speak mandarin in hawker center only causing your food price to be mark up.
