Permatang Tinggi (GPS: 5.30101, 100.47704) is a place on the southern part of Bukit Mertajam in Seberang Perai Tengah. It is just a small, nondescript rural community with limited development. There is also another Permatang Tinggi in Kepala Batas which I shall describe separately.

The neighbourhood of Permatang Tinggi is within the district of Bukit Mertajam. It is the southernmost part of Bukit Mertajam. The neighbourhood ends at Sungai Junjung, the river separating Seberang Perai Tengah from Seberang Perai Selatan. Across and to the south of that river is Simpang Ampat.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
