Bukit Mertajam Recreational Forest (GPS: 5.358738, 100.493091), or Hutan Lipur Bukit Mertajam, is a place for the people of Seberang Perai, particularly those staying around Bukit Mertajam, to go for some fresh air and greenery. The air is slightly cooler here, as the recreational forest, which covers 37 hectares, is located 457 meters above sea level.

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.
