Jalan Sekolah La Salle, George Town

Jalan Sekolah La Salle (5 March 2013)


Jalan Sekolah La Salle is a minor road in the Batu Gantong neighbourhood of George Town, Penang. It commemorates the now defunct La Salle School. Occupying the La Salle School property is its successor, the St Xavier's Primary School, as well as Shang Wu Primary School. Both La Salle and St Xavier's were established by the La Salle Brothers, a group of Catholic missionaries.

Although there is no La Salle School in Penang today, the name Jalan Sekolah La Salle lives on. The road is in two parts, separated by a bottleneck which is passable only by pedestrians and motorcyclists. That bottleneck is a bridge across the canalised Sungai Air Itam.

The northern portion of Jalan Sekolah La Salle connects with Jalan Batu Gantung. In between, it forms junctions with Lahat Road and Lengkok Lumba Kuda. The southern portion of Jalan Sekolah La Salle connects with Jalan Air Itam, and forms junctions with Jalan Kuda, Lorong Lumba Kuda, Solok Sekolah La Salle and Taman Lumba Kuda.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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