"Ting Ting Thong" Sculpture, Seck Chuan Lane

Ting Ting Thong is a steel-rod sculpture located along Seck Chuan Lane, in George Town Penang. It is created by Sculpture at Work for the Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP), based on caricature of local cartoonist Baba Chuah.

The "Ting Ting Thong" sculpture celebrates a local delicacy from time past, when itinerant hawkers would go street by street to peddle rock candy. These candies appealed to children who will often congregate whenever they hear the rock candyman coming. He is often called the "ting ting thong", an onomatopoeia for the sound made by his chisel breaking the hard-as-rock candy.
