"Rotan" Sculpture, Chulia Street

Rotan Sculpture, Chulia Street, George Town, Penang (12 May 2013)


The "Rotan" Sculpture is a steel-rod sculpture on the wall on a rattan shop in Chulia Street, George Town.

The "Rotan" sculpture was based on a caricature by cartoonist Tang Mun Kian. It shows a boy hiding behind a bush because his mother is buying a cane. Holding his report card, she asked him whether she should get a thick, medium or thin cane!

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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