Sungai Bagan Jermal, Tanjong Tokong

Sungai Bagan Jermal (16 April 2013)


Sungai Bagan Jermal is one of the rivers in Tanjong Tokong, Penang. It flows in a north-easterly direction to empty in Teluk Ayer Rajah. It took its name after the pier, or bagan, that used to jut out of the bay. The river carves its course into the mudflats of the bay. This is visible during low tide, with the river joining the larger Sungai Balik Batu.

The source of Sungai Bagan Jermal is somewhere near the Mount Erskine Cemetery. From there, it flows east. The river flows under Jalan Tanjong Tokong and continues south of Marina Bay Condominiums to reach its estuary.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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