Butterworth

Butterworth is the main town of Seberang Perai, the mainland part of Penang state. It's usually regarded as a way station rather than a destination in its own right, but it's a jumping-off point to vibrant Pulau Pinang (Penang Island), and has rail links to KL and towards the Thai border.
