Port Sound is a region located in the north-western part of Malaysia. It is bordered by the Strait of Malacca to the west and the South China Sea to the east. The region is made up of the states of Penang, Kedah, Perlis, and parts of Perak.
Port Sound is an important maritime gateway to the rest of Malaysia, as well as to the rest of the world. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, with a large number of ships coming and going from the region every day. The region is also home to some of the most important ports in the country, including the Port of Penang, the Port of Langkawi, and the Port of Kuala Kedah.
The region is known for its rich history and culture. It was once part of the ancient Malay kingdom of Srivijaya, which flourished from the 7th to the 13th centuries. During this period, the region was a major trading hub for merchants from India, China, and Arabia. The region also played an important role in the spread of Islam throughout the region.
Port Sound has also been a major center of trade and commerce since the colonial period. The British East India Company established a trading post in Penang in 1786, and it became an important port for the British Empire. During World War II, the region was invaded and occupied by the Japanese, who used it as a base for their operations in Southeast Asia.
Today, Port Sound is a vibrant region with a rich culture and history. It is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, and its ports are bustling with activity. The region is also home to a number of historical sites and monuments, including the Fort Cornwallis in Penang, the Kota Kayang Museum in Kedah, and the Langkawi Cable Car.
