TLDR : 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.

I went last week and got Non B, be aware that they are only taking 150 applications per day so get in early, Also enforcing a strict dress code

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
