Taman Sri Nibong (GPS: 5.33669, 100.29838) is a housing estate in Sungai Nibong, Penang. It is located to the south of the Pantai Jerejak neighbourhood. The housing estate was developed by Island & Peninsula, and its first phase was occupied around 1986. At Taman Sri Nibong are various types of housing that range from walk-up apartments to condominium as well as terrace houses. At the centre of the housing estate is a big playground, formerly known as Dataran Bunga Raya, and today known as Taman Sri Nibong Recreational Park.
Taman Sri Nibong is 11.4 km from Komtar. It is an ideal neighbourhood to stay for people working in the Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone though it is a bit far for those working in the city. The Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway has somewhat cut down on travelling time to the city.
The nearest school in Sungai Nibong includes Kwang Hwa Primary School, Shih Chung (Primary) Branch School and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sungai Nibong. Nearby schools include Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Phor Tay and Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Keong Hoe in Sungai Dua. The nearest market in Sungai Nibong is the Lip Sin Market and Super Tanker Market. The nearest shopping mall is Queensbay Mall. Petrol stations in Sungai Nibung includes the Mobil at Pantai Jerejak, the Caltex and the two Shell stations near the Bayan Baru Roundabout. The nearest hospital is Pantai Hospital in Bayan Baru.
Traffic in Taman Sri Nibong
Traffic is usually smooth along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, the main thoroughfare through Sungai Nibung. The Bayan Lepas Elevated Highway further helps to reduce the congestion. Having said that, one exception to the rule is on Friday evenings, when the traffic slows to a crawl due to commuters heading towards the Penang Bridge north of Sungai Nibung, and the traffic lights at Jalan Sungai Dua, near USM. The junction at Jalan Aziz Ibrahim also experiences slow traffic on Wednesday nights where the Pasar Malam at Pantai Jerejak is in session.

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.
