Jalan Baru, also written as Jalan Bahru, is a major rural road in Balik Pulau, Penang. It runs over a distance of close to 7 kilometers on the west side of the district, and forms the main artery connecting the villages of the west coast.
Laid in the early 20th century, Jalan Baru means "new road", a name given for want of something better. Since then, places located along the road has also taken the name. One of the rivers flowing west is called Sungai Kuala Jalan Baru after the road, and the village at the mouth of the river became known as Kuala Jalan Baru. Finally, the road leading from Jalan Baru to Kuala Jalan Baru was given the name Jalan Kuala Jalan Baru, literally "New Road Estuary Road".
Due to its length, some parts of Jalan Baru may also take on local names. The southern section of Jalan Baru, for example, is often called Jalan Sekolah Agama ("Religious School Road") due to the presence of a Muslim religous school in the area. There are many places that you can visit from Jalan Baru. There is Countryside Stables, Kuala Sungai Burong and Pantai Malindo, to name some.

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.
