Taman Tunku, Seberang Jaya

Taman Tunku, Seberang Jaya (15 August 2015)


Taman Tunku (GPS: 5.3874, 100.40307) is a public park in Seberang Jaya. It was named after the first prime minister of Malaysia, the late Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj. In memory of the Tunku, a memorial of a tengkolok, or Malay ceremonial headgear, marks the entrance of the park.

Taman Tunku is very popular with the locals as an exercise venue. The park has jogging tracks, benches, football field and pavilions, among others. There is also a well maintained Japanese garden.

There are two rivers flowing in parallel through Taman Tunku. The first is called Sungai Pertama, often erroneously labelled as Sungai Derhaka on many maps. The other is a tributary of Sungai Perai. Walkways cross these rivers briding various portions of the park.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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