Jalan Raja Gopal, George Town

Jalan Raja Gopal, George Town, Penang (11 August 2022)


Jalan Raja Gopal, formerly Raja Gopal Road, is a minor road in George Town. It connects Lengkok Burma and Jalan Perak. That connection was only established in 2021, when Jalan Raja Gopal was extended to a junction on Jalan Perak. Prior to that, the stretch was only a footpath.

Raja Gopal Road is mainly residential in character with townhouses build during the mid 20th century. It was named after A. Raja Gopal, a prominent Indian businessman in the mid 20th century who served as the honorary Secretary General of the Malaysian Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Penang, in 1958-59.

Mr Raja Gopal served as the chairman of St John Ambulance Brigade, Penang. It was under him that the St John Ambulance was given space within the King George VII Maternity Hospital to be used as their headquarters.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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