Sandilands Street

Junction of Sandilands Street with Bridge Street (6 February 2013)


Sandilands Street (Malay: Lebuh Sandilands; Penang Hokkien: Kau1-Tiau3 Lor33 , Pek1-Tiau3 Lor33 Pnua3 ) is the last road in the Seven Streets Precinct. It is known in Hokkien as both Kau1-Tiau3 Lor33 meaning the "Ninth Street (after the Prangin Canal)", as well as Pek1-Tiau3 Lor33 Pnua3 meaning "Eighth-and-a-half Street".

Sandilands Street was laid when the swampy end of town was reclaimed and the mangrove trees cut down. The corner of Sandilands Street and Bridge Street is regarded as geomantically auspicious to the Chinese, and on that location stands the Seng Ong Beow Temple, which was there even when Sandilands Street was a mere country path.

At this point in time, it is not clear to me whether Sandilands Street was named after Robert Sandilands Frowd Walker, who laid the foundation stone of the Diamond Jubilee Wadda Gurdwara Sahibhttps://www.penang-traveltips.com/gurdwara-sahib-khalsa-dharmak-jatha-wadda.htm on nearby Brick Kiln Road on 3 June 1901.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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