Bagan Dalam, Butterworth, Penang (1 May 2015)
Bagan Dalam (GPS: 5.39264, 100.36991) is a place within the town of
Butterworth south of
New Ferry Road and
Chain Ferry Road, next to the Butterworth Deepwater Wharf. It takes its name after Kampung Bagan Dalam located in that area. The main road in that area is also called
Jalan Bagan Dalam. Bagan Dalam probably got its name from piers along the Prai River. These are "inland piers" compared to those jutting out into the open sea at
Bagan Luar.
Bagan Dalam is bordered by Jalan Chain Ferry to the north, the
Prai River to the south and the sea to the west. It is the area north of the Prai River from the town of Prai.
Among the prominent buildings in Bagan Dalam include the
Butterworth Convent School, a
Sikh Temple,
Church of the Navitity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and
Masjid Jamek Bagan Dalam. For many years, Sri Bagan flats was the only notable high-rise in the area, but recently, several new condominiums have been erected in Bagan Dalam including
Ocean View,
Park View,
Sea View,
Wellesley Residences and
Woodsbury Suites.
The
Butterworth Outer Ring Road cuts through Bagan Dalam, to connect with Prai in the south and
Bagan Luar in the north.
Bagan Dalam has always been Butterworth's transportation hub. It is the location of
Pengkalan Sultan Abdul Halim, the ferry terminal, and since 22 November, 2018,
Penang Sentral is the new transportation hub for the state.
