Real Estate Review: PPR Taman Manggis, George Town, Penang

PPR Taman Manggis (GPS: 5.41914, 100.3268) or Project Perumahan Rakyat Taman Manggis, is a low-cost public housing project along Jalan Zainal Abidin in George Town, Penang. It comprises an 18-storey apartment complex bordered by Jalan Zainal Abidin on one side, and Lorong Selamat on the other.

PPR Taman Manggis occupies land that was previously double-storey government quarters. These were demolished to make way for the housing project. The first phase of PPR Taman Manggis was completed in 2009. There was to be a second phase, on the remaining plot of land, however, the continuation of the project has since been bogged down by political tussle between parties representing the state and federal governments.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
