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 connects Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah to the south with Jalan Khemah to the north, and is intersected by Jalan Selatan and Jalan Bunga Raya.

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.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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