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.

The main road through the Taman Tun Sardon neighbourhood is Hilir Pemancar. Branching off this main road are the side roads to all the flats. The main approach to Taman Tun Sardon is via Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah. The first group of flats are given the letters A, B, C, D and D. They are clustered near the community market, Pasar & Balai Rakyat Gelugor.

Going further in, you pass by the neighbourhood mosque, Masjid At Taqwa. Following that is the main portion of Taman Tun Sardon. Almost all the blocks here carry an A to their name.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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