Malaysian-German Society (MGS)

The Malaysia-German Society Penang was established in 1962 by a handful of dedicated and far-sighted Malaysians and Germans residing in Penang and has gained over the years the respect and support of the State Government of Penang. The Society in its efforts to promote friendship and understanding between locals and Germans in Penang have organised various functions both cultural and social to bring people together and exposing them to both the cultures of Malaysia and Germany. Thus, through the years numerous concerts were held bringing well-known German musicians and orchestras to our shores. German cultural festivities were celebrated with members and friends with the hope that Malaysians would understand better the culture of Germany. At the same time, Malaysian festivals were also celebrated with local cultural shows to project the diversity of the Malaysian culture to our German members.
