Dindings Lane (Jalan Dinding)

Dindings Lane, Penang (25 November 2017)


Dindings Lane, translated as Jalan Dinding in Malay, is a short street off Transfer Road in George Town. As with nearby Hutton Lane, Dindings Lane is translated as a "jalan" rather than a "lorong" in Malay, hence Jalan Dinding. Dindings Lane leads into the Indian Muslim and Malay settlements off Transfer Road.

Dindings Lane was named after the islands and territory of Dinding, collectively called the Dindings, which formed part of the Straits Settlements. They were ceded to the British in 1826 and reiterated in 1874.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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