Jalan Permatang Nibong

Jalan Permatang Nibong, Seberang Perai (18 July 2015)


Jalan Permatang Nibong is a country road in Seberang Perai. It connects Permatang Pauh in the west with Kubang Semang in the east.

For much of its length, Jalan Permatang Nibong follows the course of a river which changes its name every few kilometers. A tributary of the Prai River, it is known as Sungai Derhaka from its confluence with the Prai. As it passes through Kampung Hutan Nibung, it becomes known as Sungai Hutan Nibong. Then, as it approaches Kubang Semang, the river changes its name again, to Sungai Kubang Semang, and is known as such until it reaches its source somewhere in Kubang Semang.

Jalan Permatang Nibong connects with Jalan Permatang Pauh on its western end. There is a T-junction here with traffic lights. Traffic on this end is quite heavy, even though this is just a two-lane country road.

The middle portion of Jalan Permatang Nibong passes through wider, more spacious terrain. Bukit Mertajam and the high rise buildings of Butterworth are visible in the distance. Along the way is the approach connecting the road to Exit 1503 (Permatang Nibong Interchange) of the Butterworth-Kulim Expressway. At the eastern end of Jalan Permatang Nibong, on the approach to Kubang Semang, there is another T-junction where the road meets Jalan Tanah Liat, near the landmark Masjid Kubang Semang Penanti.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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