Jalan Arumugam Pillai, Bukit Mertajam

Jalan Arumugam Pillai, Bukit Mertajam (10 December 2016)


Jalan Arumugam Pillai is one of the major roads in Bukit Mertajam. It connects the northern part of town to the commercial heart. Jalan Arumugam Pillai begins at the junction with Jalan Abdul Kadir (state route P3) and Jalan Berapit (state route P131), and ends at the junction with Jalan Sungai Rambai and Jalan Muthu Palaniappan.

Jalan Arumugam Pillai forms junctions with Aston Road, Jalan Ciku, Jalan Datuk Ooh Chooi Chong and Jalan Pasar. While one can drive from the north end to the south end of Jalan Arumugam Pillai, due to its complicated traffic flow in the opposite direction, it is not possible to do the same the other way.

Jalan Arumugam Pillai was named after local prominent Tamil philantropist N. Arumugam Pillay @ NTS Arumugam Pillai, who also once served as the leader of the Penang branch of the political party, Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC). The late Arumugam Pillai was probably one of the most prominent Indian in the rubber industry, owning thousands of hectares of rubber plantation in Kedah. He passed away in India in 1989.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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