How we choose what to pin

What we list

Events, workshops, culture, community activities and experiences in Penang that are open to the public and have an official page or contact we can check.

How listings are checked

A person reads every submission and checks the source before anything is published. Each event shows when it was last verified. If we can’t verify something, we say so.

Editor’s notes

Some events carry a short note from the Joombuddy team. Notes are editorial opinion and cannot be bought. Payment never influences whether an event gets one.

If we ever show sponsored items

They will be clearly labelled and visually separate from editorial notes.

What we decline

Events that are unsafe, misleading, discriminatory, or that we can’t verify. We may edit, decline or remove listings.
