Bayan Mutiara (GPS: 5.35025, 100.31338) is a neighbourhood being developed on the eastern coast of Penang Island. It is located on reclaimed land to the east of Pantai Jerejak, to the north of Queensbay, and to the south of Gelugor.
Bayan Mutiara was originally intended to house Penang's new state administration. However the plans have very much been deflated, by the lack of funds, by all-round criticism from many quarters for the extravagance, and by the change in state governments. The land is now being planned for residential development by PDC Properties, the property development arm of state-government-owned Penang Development Corporation. However, the choice of an exclusive neighbourhood called D'Residence at Bayan Mutiara is seen as an erosion of PDC's responsibility to provide affordable housing facilities to the residents of Penang.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
