Kampung Kastam, Gelugor, Penang (10 January 2014)
Kampung Kastam (GPS: 5.37427, 100.30104) is a neighbourhood of government quarters in Gelugor, Penang. It was established to house employees of the Customs Department in the early 1960's. The original government quarters still exist, though they appear to be in a rather forlorn state. Many of these early quarters are now vacant. Later low-cost housing developments such as those at neighbouring Taman Tun Sardon provide a contrast as to the amount of space given to each unit.
Today a new housing complex for staff of the customs department occupies the plot of land off Jalan Kampung Kastam. This is the present living quarters of the staff.
The main road in Kampung Kastam is Jalan Lembah. Second to this is Jalan Kampung Kastam.
