Penang Hill Multi-Storey Car Park (GPS: 5.4077, 100.27753) is a car park near the Penang Hill Lower Station, on Hill Railway Road, Penang. It is the main car park for visitors to Penang Hill. The car park complements the existing open-air Car Park A and Car Park B.
The Penang Hill Multi-Storey Car Park replaces the ill-fated "Kancil Car Park", another brand-new car park that had to be demolished as it was deemed to be not suitable for all but the smallest vehicles.
The Penang Hill Multi-Storey Car Park is an 8-storey structure. It was built for Perbadanan Setiausaha Kerajaan Pulau Pinang (SSI). The developer is Penang Development Corporation (PDC) while the main contractor is Yuan Seng Building Trading Sdn Bhd. The building plan was approved on 26 November, 2012. The car park was officially opened by the Rt Hon Lim Guan Eng, Chief Minister of Penang, on 19 January, 2015.
On the ground floor is a cafeteria, toilet, surau and parking for motorcycles. Car parking bays occupy levels 1 to 7. The bus stop is right in front of the car park. Rapid Penang bus 204 stops there.

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.
