Bertam House

Bertam House, Kepala Batas (22 July 2015)


Bertam House (GPS: 5.51782, 100.43649) is a historic building in Kepala Batas, Penang. It stands within its spacious grounds at the junction of Jalan Tun Hamdan Sheikh Tahir and Jalan Bertam Indah 1.

Bertam House used to be the estate manager's bungalow of the Straits Settlement Bertam Rubber Company, also known as Bertam Estate. This was during a time when much of eastern Kepala Batas was rubber plantation. Since then, the Bertam rubber estate has been converted into urban development, particularly in the form of the new township of Bertam Perdana.

Built ion 1913, the two-storey Bertam House is shaped like the letter Y, with full-length black-and-white blinds covering all sides except its arched porch. The building is still well maintained today.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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