Jalan Rantau Panjang is a rural road in Seberang Perai Utara on the Penang Mainland. The road passes through a largely flat terrain comprising paddy fields and kampong houses. The road connects Jalan Permatang Bendahari to the west with Jalan Gua Kepah to the east.

Jalan Rantau Panjang got its name from Kampung Rantau Panjang, a Malay village the ruins of the ancient Kota Aur1 has been discovered. The laterite remains (some bearing similarity to the more obscure Angkor ruins, ie. Ak Yum), are said to have dated back to the time of the Langkasuka Empire, a Hindu-Buddhist empire or kingdom that emerged on the Malay peninsula between the 2nd and 15th centuries, before it was supplanted by the Pattani Kingdom. It is regarded as one of the oldest kingdoms to have emerged on the Malay peninsula.
Interest in the Rantau Panjang relics has drawn the attention of the Muzium Department and Universiti Sains Malaysia, with officials from both having made visits to the area, but no further progress is carried out due to lack of funds.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
