Balik Pulau Old Market Car Park (12 December 2015)
Balik Pulau Old Market Car Park (GPS: 5.35174, 100.2356) is a car park occupying the site of the Balik Pulau Old Market. After the market was shifted to its new location, the old market was left in disuse for a couple of years. A decision was then taken to have it demolish, so as the place can be used for a car park, to alleviate the congestion in the centre of the Balik Pulau pekan. There were some grievances over the demolition of the old market, but eventually it was demolished anyway.
With the removal of the disused old market building, the area is now tarred and parking bays added to the site. There are also two parking bays specially put aside for the disabled, and these are specially painted a different colour.
The creation of the car park has helped improve business in the surrounding village, with the main beneficiaries being the coffee shops, particularly those selling Balik Pulau's speciality, the laksa.

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.
