Program City Fun Run sempena sambutan perisytiharan Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang.
Penang’s capital, George Town, was first granted city status by way of royal charter from the queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II on January 1, 1957 - the first town in then Malaya to be accorded such an honour but was not sanctioned by the post-independence federal government.
On August, 2010, a decision was made by Penang Local Government to have the status upgraded and an application was sent to the Local Government Ministry.
On 10 December, 2014, Penang local Government received a letter from the Urban Well-being, Housing and Local Government Ministry said the decision to upgrade the municipality to a city council was made by the Cabinet on November 11, 2014.
With the city status, the Penang Island Municipal Council will now be renamed as the Penang Island City Council.
Penang will be the 13th city in Malaysia with the others being Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Alor Star, Johor Baru, Malacca City, Kuala Terengganu, Kota Kinabalu, Miri, Kuching North and Kuching South.
Program City Fun Run is organised in conjunction with the Penang Island City Council declaration.
