About Dato Kramat Road

The name Dato Keramat means a Muslim shrine, usually to a holy man or ascetic. It probably refers to a shrine somewhere near Kampung Makam, where there has been a Muslim settlement predating the opening of George Town by Francis Light. This is also mentioned in the book, The Chulia in Penang.1

During those early days, the settlers travelled upriver by boat. Today, however, boat traffic is largely forgotten - the river itself has also gotten too shallow to allow proper navigation. In any case, Dato Kramat Road is now the main artery connecting the inner city of George Town to the outskirts, which until the mid 20th century refers to Ayer Itam.

Today Dato Kramat Road is lined with auxiliary businesses. It has quite a number of lighting shops.

Going to Dato Kramat Road

Rapid Penang Bus 11, 201, 202, 203, 204, 206, 301, 302 and 502 pass through Dato Kramat Road.

In Other Words ...

Dato Kramat Road is known to the local Hokkiens by various names. The section at Lorong Kulit in front of the Penang Prison is known as Si1 Kham1 Tiam3, or "row of four shophouses". The namesake has since been demolished a long time ago. The section in front of Penang Times Square is known as Kam3ma1 Hnui2 meaning Lime Plantation. As would be expected, the names given are a description of the place as it once was.

About this website



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.
