Kampung Sungai Rusa, Balik Pulau

Kampung Sungai Rusa, Balik Pulau (16 February 2013)


Kampung Sungai Rusa (GPS: 5.37987, 100.21375) is a small Malay village located between Balik Pulau and Kuala Sungai Pinang. The village straddles the main road that runs between Air Putih and Kuala Sungai Pinang. The main road, called Jalan Sungai Rusa, continues on north to the junction with Jalan Pantai Acheh.

Kampung Sungai Rusa is one of many villages on the west coast of Penang Island where the pace of life is much slower than on the east coast. Nonetheless, in the last few years, the area has seen rapid housing development, as former farmland make way for housing estates. Urban amenities is very much lagging behind the east coast. It will still be some time before this part of Penang Island enjoys the amenities that people on the east coast take for granted.

Getting there

The main road, Jalan Sungai Rusa, is served by Rapid Penang bus 404 and 501 which pass along the main road at Kampung Sungai Rusa.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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