Timothy Tye Sungai Bakap, Seberang Perai SelatanSungai Bakap, Seberang Perai Selatan (22 August 2015)


Sungai Bakap (GPS: 5.22617, 100.494), (Traditional Chinese: 威南縣; Simplified Chinese: 威南县; Pinyin: Wēi Nán Xiàn) is a small town in Seberang Perai Selatan. It is located immediately to the south of Valdor.

Sungai Bakap is part of a vast sugar plantation that has now been largely replaced with palm oil. It is still a rural community at the edge of urban development. Like Valdor, it was developed by sugar pioneer Khaw Loh Hup and his son-in-law, Kee Lai Huat, who became a 19th sugar baron.

The grand Chinese-style courtyard mansion of Kee Lai Huat, known as Kee Poh Huat Kongsi, is still standing in the village of Sungai Bakap.

The settlement is today Sungai Bakap got its name from the river that flows through the area. That river, also called Sungai Bakap, is still there. It is cross by both the main road, Jalan Sungai Bakap, as well as the North-South Expressway. It is a tributary to Sungai Jawi.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
