I speak 4 languages in Penang Malaysia and I shall learn 1 more language

I spoke 4 languages: Hokkien, Indonesian, English, and Mandarin on my recent trip to Penang.

They are also familiar with the Indonesian language because of the many tourists from Indonesia, either for tourism or medical checkups.
