Jalan Perak, PenangJalan Perak, Penang (23 November 2020)


Jalan Perak or Perak Road is one of the longest streets in George Town, Penang. It acts as the first ring road of the city. George Town's one-way road system has fragmented Perak Road into many parts, some of which are today one-way streets. Between Burmah Road and Peel Avenue, traffic flows northwards. Between Peel Avenue and Macalister Road, it flows southwards. Between Macalister Road and Anson Road it flows northwards. Between Anson Road and Dato Kramat Road, it flows southwards. Between Dato Kramat Road and Jalan Bagan Serai, it is two ways, and between the Jelutong Main Road junction and Jalan Bagan Serai, it is northwards.

On its long course through the city, Perak Road passes from the working class neighbourhoods to the south, through the Malay settlements in the middle, and then to the affluent neighbourhoods to the north. Some of the oldest Malay villages in Penang are located off Perak Road, along the banks of the Sungai Pinang, where early settlers arrived by boats. This low-lying area around Counter Hall is prone to flash floods which has somewhat been mitigated by improved drainage.

In addition to Penang, there is also a Jalan Perak in Kuala Lumpur and Perak Road in Singapore.

High-rise apartments and condominiums jostle for space on the many roads branching off Perak Road, the tallest under construction reaches a height of forty-five storeys.

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.
