Jalan Batu Gantung, George Town, PenangJalan Batu Gantung, George Town, Penang (5 March 2013)


Jalan Batu Gantung is a minor road serving the Batu Gantong neighbourhood of George Town, Penang. A no-through road, it runs west from the intersection with Scotland Road and York Road towards the Penang Turf Club and Batu Gantong Cemetery. Once the outskirts of George Town, Jalan Batu Gantung has since the late 20th century undergone rapid urban development. Today it has a number of low-rise and high-rise apartments.

Jalan Batu Gantung forms junctions with Jalan Lumba Kuda and Jalan Sekolah La Salle. It experiences high traffic during rush hours and on every racecourse day. During such times, traffic policemen would be stationed at the Scotland Road intersection to control the flow.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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