Pantai Jerjak (GPS: 5.34553, 100.30268), also written Pantai Jerejak, is a middle-class residential neighbourhood in Sungai Nibong, Penang. It got its name from being on the coast overlooking Pulau Jerjak. Pantai Jerjak was established in the late 1970's and early 1980's as the population of Penang began to spill southwards and former countryside made way for residential development. It was originally called Saw Kit Garden, named after the wife of the late tycoon Loh Boon Siew who owned the land.1
The houses in Pantai Jerjak comprise single-storey link house, double-storey link house and double-storey semi-detached houses. In more recent times, there are also a few high rises built around the periphery of the housing estate.
Traffic is smooth except for Wednesday nights, where there's a Pasar Malam (night market) along Jalan Aziz Ibrahim. Also, some weekend evening rush hours may see jams along Jalan Aziz Ibrahim. Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, across from the Pesta Site, will see congestion in the month of December when the annual Pesta Pulau Pinang takes place.

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.
