Jalan Piggot, George Town, Penang (11 August 2022)


Jalan Piggot, formerly Piggot Road, is a minor road off Jalan Scotland, in George Town, Penang. It is located across Jalan Scotland from the Penang Turf Club.

Jalan Piggot starts at the junction of Jalan Scotland at the Penang Public Library, forms an "L" to reemerge at Jalan York. Sungai Air Terjun flows through the road and into the grounds of the Seri Mutiara. Jambatan Jalan Piggot carries the road across the river.

It is possible that Jalan Piggot was named after Lester Piggott, a famous British jockey of the 1970's who often raced at the Penang Turf Club.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
