Sungai Jelutong is a small river in George Town, Penang. It is one of the tributaries of Sungai Pinang. Sungai Jelutong itself comprises two streams that converge somewhere between Lorong Kaya and Lorong Gemang. One of these streams start somewhere near Taman Seri Damai while the other one starts somewhere in Island Glades. Both are canalised to manage their flow.
Sungai Jelutong flows into Sungai Pinang near the Penang Japanese School, off Sungai Pinang Road. As with many of the urban rivers in George Town, Sungai Jelutong is often clogged up with trash.
2 July, 2018 StarMetro reports that the 40-year-old diversion drain for Sungai Jelutong will be upgraded at a cost of RM13.3million. This involves injecting a special type of concrete to strength the culvert structure of the drains which were built in 1973. The diversion drain, which is 450 meters long, was built to divert part of the water of Sungai Jelutong away from Sungai Pinang and into the sea. It runs beneath Jalan Tengku and the junction of Jalan Jelutong and Solok Perak.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
