Jalan Cantonment

Cantonment Road, Pulau Tikus, Penang (6 November 2019)


Jalan Cantonment, formerly known as Cantonment Road, is a road in the Pulau Tikus district of George Town. It began at Jalan Macalister and ends at Persiaran Gurney. Cantonment Road intersects with two major roads running out of George Town namely Jalan Burma and Jalan Kelawai. It is named after the army cantonment that used to be located there.

The Penang Malay Association or Persatuan Melayu Pulau Pinang (acronym Pemenang), an organisation founded in 1927, bought a building along the stretch of Cantonment Road between Kelawai Road and Gurney Drive (often called Cantonment Road Ghaut, as it is an extension of the original Cantonment Road) at RM600,000. Later, they sought for the road to be named Jalan Pemenang, after the association.

Among the roads that form junctions or intersections with Cantonment Road include Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, Jalan Bell, Jalan Biggs, Jalan D.S. Ramanathan, Persiaran Cantonment, Jalan Yeoh Guan Seok, Jalan Berjaya and Jalan Pasar.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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