Jalan Meriam, Muar (11 September, 2016)


Jalan Meriam is a street in the town of Muar, Johor. One of the longest roads in town, it connects Jalan Bakri in the east with Jalan Abdul Rahman in the west. In between, it is intersected by Jalan Yahya, Jalan Haji Abu, Jalan Sayang, Jalan Sisi, Jalan Sulaiman, Jalan Othman, Jalan Mohamadiah, Jalan Omri, Jalan Hassan and Jalan Khatib.

Jalan Meriam is one of the town streets in Muar where the commercial buildings were painted a uniform colour, as part of a local government initiative to beautify the town.¹ Pink was chosen for Jalan Meriam while yellow for Jalan Yahya. According to Jamaludin A. Hamid, President of the Muar Municipal Council, the re-painting involves some 1,000 properties in town, intended to create a more beautiful and neat appearance for the town.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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