Persiaran Sultan Abdul Hamid, Alor Setar

Jalan Langgar, Alor Setar (30 July, 2016)


Persiaran Sultan Abdul Hamid is one of the major roads in Alor Setar, Kedah. It connects Jalan Kuala Kedah in the south to Jalan Sultan Muhammad Jiwa in the north. The road was named in honor of Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah II (1864-1943), who reigned from 1881 to 1943. He is the father to Tunku Abdul Rahman, the first prime minister of Malaysia.

Persiaran Sultan Abdul Hamid crosses the Kedah River to connect with Jalan Sultan Muhammad Jiwa. At the approach to the northern bank of the river, there is a gateway arch proclaiming that the area to the left is Pekan Cina while the one to the right is Pekan Melayu.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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