Lebuhraya Bingham, Bukit Gelugor, Penang (22 January 2020)
Lebuhraya Bingham is a small hill road in the Bukit Gelugor part of Gelugor, to the south of George Town, Penang. Originally known as Bingham Avenue, it was translated to Lebuhraya Bingham, and is now often wrongly retranslated as Bingham Highway.
Lebuhraya Bingham was created in the 1950s, when the area was developed out of former plantation land for residential purposes. The road itself was named after Robert Porter Bingham. R.P. Bingham served as Acting Resident Commissioner of Penang in 1950 and as Resident Commissioner of Penang from 1951 until 1957. Before that, he was the Singapore Commissioner for Labour. He was a Patron of the Penang Rifle Club during his term of duty.

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.
