Taman Tun Sardon is a large working-class neighbourhood of low-cost flats in Gelugor, Penang. It was named after Tun Sardon Jubir, who served as the Yang Di-Pertua Negeri, or Governor, of Penang from 1975 to 1981. Taman Tun Sardon is sandwiched between Kampung Kastam in the north and Brown Garden in the south. Most of the flats at Taman Tun Sardon are five-storey walk-up blocks. They were built in the 1980s.

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.

My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
