What is the current status of the Penang Consulate reopening and its visa application process?
Gosh the facebook search is rubbish these days. Looked but couldn't find. Any update on the Penang Consulate reopening?
Answer summary
The Penang Consulate reopened on April 9, 2018, after moving to a different building within the same compound. They are currently accepting visa applications but have limited their intake to 150 applications per day, a reduction from the previous limit of 200. Applicants are advised to arrive early, as there is also a strict dress code being enforced during the application process.

Just a trail period for the next few weeks, I think they just wanted to make sure the new computer system they are using was working up to speed
