Sungai Kedah

Sungai Kedah at Kuala Kedah (10 November, 2015)




B. Melayu

Sungai Kedah is one of the most important rivers in Kedah. It flows right through Alor Setar, which is where Sungai Anak Bukit enters it. Sungai Kedah begins at the Alor Setar suburb of Alor Mengkudu, where Sungai Alor Penyengat flows into the larger Sungai Pendang. From there it begins a curling journey westward, passing the city centre of Alor Setar where Sungai Anak Bukit flows into it. The river empties into the Straits of Malacca at Kuala Kedah (the name meaning "mouth of Sungai Kedah").

There are a number of bridges across Sungai Kedah. The last and biggest is Jambatan Tok Pasai at Kuala Kedah. Several other bridges, the majority nameless, cross the river in Alor Setar.

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.
