Sungai Melaka, Langkawi

Sungai Melaka is one of the major rivers in Langkawi. It flows west to empty into the Andaman Sea. The name of the river refers to the Melaka tree, Phyllanthus emblica, and has nothing to do with the state of Malacca. The village on the upper reaches of Sungai Melaka is called Ulu Melaka, after the river.

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.
