In this article, writer intends to highlight the contextual meaning of Penang in the Straits of Malacca, had been taken an important role as a bridgehead of British Empire to enter East Asia. Since the East India Company occupied Penang Island in 1786, the empire's colonial force had been expanded progressively; and this act had been invoked a series, dynamic changes.
