Timothy Tye with Low Chee PengTimothy Tye with Low Chee Peng (5 September 2016)


Have you ever wondered who is the person who sculptured the various street art in Penang? In George Town, we see steel-rod sculptures based on the drawings by Baba Chuah, Lefty, Reggie Lee and Tang Mun Kian, but the person who turned the drawings into sculptures is Low Chee Peng. I had the opportunity of meeting Mr Low at an art gallery recently. It was Low who interpreted the various cartoon drawings and turn them into sculptures. In addition, he is the person who sculptured the Coastal Runners.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
