Nibong Tebal, Seberang Perai Selatan, PenangNibong Tebal, Seberang Perai Selatan, Penang (10 May 2023)


Nibong Tebal (GPS: 5.17009, 100.47861), (Traditional Chinese: 高淵; Simplified Chinese: 高渊; Pinyin: Gāo Yuān; Penang Hokkien: Ko3 En1 ; Tamil: நிபோங் திபால்). is the biggest town in Seberang Perai Selatan. The name Nibong Tebal means "dense palms", and may refers to the nibung trees that grow in the surrounding mangrove. Its name in Penang Hokkien is Ko3 En1 高淵.

Nibong Tebal is the last major township in southern Penang Mainland. It is immediately south of Jawi, and is separated from it by the North-South Expressway. On the southern side of the old town is Sungai Kerian, though development has since spilled across the river, chiefly with the setting up of a campus for Universiti Sains Malaysia there. The university has its schools of civil engineering, aerospace engineering, and material and mineral resource engineering are among those located in Nibong Tebal.

Nibong Tebal is close to the border with Perak and Kedah. Across the border, on the Perak side, is the town of Parit Buntar, while on the Kedah side, is the town of Bandar Baharu.

To the east side of Nibong Tebal is the Bukit Panchor Industrial Estate. Furthest east, at the border with Kedah, is Bukit Panchor State Park.

Perhaps the most noteworthy person to come from Nibong Tebal is the late Professor Chin Fung Kee, who designed the first Penang Bridge. Unfortunately he passed away before the bridge was opened to the public.

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.
