The Kuala Muda Whispering Market (GPS: 5.57827, 100.34105) is a fishermen market at Kampung Tepi Sungai in Kuala Muda, Kedah. The official name of the market is simply Pasar Nelayan, or Fishermen's Market.

Kuala Muda Whispering Market got its name because of the form of auction carried out between the fishermen and the fishmongers. The fish to be auctioned are placed in heaps. The fishmongers bid for the fish by whispering into the ears of the fishermen who will then select whom he will sell the catch.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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