Jalan Baru Batu Maung

Jalan Baru Batu Maung (7 February 2018)


Jalan Baru Batu Maung is one of the main roads in Batu Maung, Penang. Its southern end forms a T-junction with Jalan Batu Maung, while its northern end continues as Pintasan Batu Maung 2, within the Pintasan Batu Maung neighbourhood. The road is commonly known among the locals in Sin3 Lor33 (新路).

Jalan Baru Batu Maung originally extends to connect with the present Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah. A stretch of the road was expunged in around 1978, to make way for the extension of the runway of the Penang International Airport. The people who used to stay along that stretch were relocated to other parts of Jalan Baru Batu Maung, resulting in a rather high population concentration in the area.

Jalan Baru Batu Maung is a working-class area. The road is lined with workshops and coffee shops that cater to the lunch-time crowds from the nearby Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone. Batu Maung's only Chinese school, SJKC Wen Khai, was built here in the late 1970s.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
