Kompleks Pekan Rabu (GPS: 6.3168, 99.85117) is a commercial complex in Kuah, Langkawi. It was built at a cost of RM9 million so that smallholders can set up a business near the major tourist spot of Kuah. The name is taken from the Pekan Rabu complex in Alor Setar. The project was initiated by former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. The complex is four storey high and houses a total of 132 units of shoplots. It is managed by LADA.
Since its opening in early 2009, the response to Kompleks Pekan Rabu has not been encouraging. It has received few customers and business there has been slow. As a result, fewer than half of the 132 shop lots are occupied.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
