It is a semi-rural area between Butterworth and Seberang Jaya in the east, and the large expanse of paddy fields in the west. Permatang Pauh itself is gradually urbanizing as the countryside makes way for urban development.

Midway, Jalan Permatang Pauh forms a junction with Jalan Sama Gagah, after which it changes its course to continue southwests, to end at the Permatang Pauh roundabout.

The Parliamentary Seat of Permatang Pauh (as of 2015, represented by Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, PKR) comprises three state seats namely Seberang Jaya (Afif Bahardin, PKR), Permatang Pasir (Salleh Man, PAS) and Penanti (Norlela binti Ariffin, PKR).

My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
