Kampung Baru Market (GPS: 5.40569, 100.2963) is a wet market located in a sort of traffic island, surrounded by Jalan Air Itam. The market has been around since the 1960's. There is a small parking lot in front of the market that allows a few cars to park, although when the market is in session, the whole road is congested. The location is not the most ideal for a market, being in the middle of a major road. This is compounded by the proximity of Chung Ling High School, one of the biggest schools in the area. Lack of space means this market has no room to expand. Other markets, such as the one in Farlim and Riffle Range have been created to take the load off this market.

Getting there
Its strategic location means that Kampung Baru Market is served by many bus routes including Rapid Penang201, 202, 203, 204 and 206. Driving there may be a problem if you are going during the busy marketing time, as finding parking space will be difficult.

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.
