Timothy Tye Jalan Bukit Gambir passing through the USM Campus in Bukit Gambir (10 October 2012)


Jalan Bukit Gambir, also written Jalan Bukit Gambier, is a 4-lane main road on the south-central part of Penang Island. It runs from the junction with Jalan Tun Dr Awang, in front of Wisma Malvest, all the way to Yeap Chor Ee Road.

Jalan Bukit Gambir was built in the mid 1990's as an extension to Yeap Chor Ee Road. It was built in sections through the hills of Bukit Gambier, passing through land belonging to Universiti Sains Malaysia in Minden, until it eventually ends at the junction with Jalan Tun Dr Awang. Since its construction, the road has become one of the alternative routes between George Town and the southern part of the island, reducing congestion along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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