Bukit Merah (GPS: 5.0328, 100.64901) is a small town in the Kerian district, Perak. Located near Bagan Serai, Bukit Merah got its name from a hillock in the area. The town is located by the banks of a 7000-acre lake, one of the biggest freshwater lakes in Malaysia. The British built a railway line right across the lake in the 1920's, and this line is still being used today.
Nowadays, Bukit Merah is synonymous with the Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, which I shall describe within its own page.
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.
