Sungai Kenyum, Langkawi (8 September, 2018)
Sungai Kenyum is a river in the interior of Langkawi, Kedah. A tributary of Sungai Melaka, it flows northwards, through the paddy growing part of the island, to empty into the main river. Running almost parallel to the river is Jalan Simpang Kenyum, which I believe got its name from the junction with Jalan Mata Air. Jalan Mata Air crosses Sungai Kenyum a short distance from the junction.
Sungai Kenyum is known as Sungai Titi Cangwang when it reaches Ulu Melaka. The river eventually flows into Sungai Melaka. Today a portion of Sungai Kenyum has been dredged and canalised, so that its water can be used for rice irrigation.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
