Sungai 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.
Exit the North-South Expressway at either Exit 156 (Jawi Interchange) and drive north along Federal Route 1 to reach Sungai Bakap. By bus, you can take Rapid Penang bus 801 and 802.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
