Jalan Chian Heng Kai, Bukit Mertajam

Jalan Chian Heng Kai, Bukit Mertajam (19 September 2020)


Jalan Chian Heng Kai is a 4-lane main road in Taman Bayu Mutirara, in Bukit Mertajam, Penang. The road is close to one kilometer in length (970 meters). It connects Jalan Song Ban Kheng in the north with Jalan Bukit Tengah in the south. Originally called Jalan Bayu Mutiara, it was renamed on 4 April 2015 in honour of the late Mr Chian Heng Kai, a Member of Parliament from the Democratic Action Party (DAP) who was the MP for Bukit Mertajam in 1986 and 1990.

Mr Chian passed away on 14 May, 2011 and was buried in Muar, Johor. Mr Chian is remembered for his role in defending the use of mother tongue for Chinese education.

Jalan Chian Heng Kai is a dual carriageway with a divider. It is two lanes in each direction, except at the approach to the Jalan Bukit Tengah flyover, where it expands to three lanes each way. The road is lined with residential and commercial properties, which is separated from it by service roads.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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