Tanjong Bungah, PenangTanjong Bungah, Penang (10 June 2016)


Tanjong Bungah (GPS: 5.46562, 100.28071; Traditional Chinese: 丹絨武雅; Simplified Chinese: 丹绒武雅; Pinyin: Dānróng Wǔyā) also written Tanjung Bungah and occasionally Tanjung Bunga, is a suburb of George Town on the northern coast of Penang Island. The name Tanjong Bungah retains the old Malay spelling of the place, but is the most commonly used form. The name means "Flower Cape", and refers to the cape comprising several promontories that jut out into the sea between Tanjong Bungah bay and Tanjong Tokong.

The postal code for Tanjong Bungah is 11200. Presently the suburb of Tanjong Bungah includes Tanjong Tokong and Mount Erskine although originally they are separate places.

Jalan Tanjong Bungah, the main road, starts at the junction of Jalan Gajah, near the Chinese Swimming Club, to Mar Vista. Within the Tanjong Bungah neighbourhood is the Malay village served by the Tanjong Bungah Floating Mosque. Marina Tower Condominium marks the northern end of Tanjong Bungah, while Mar Vista is the start of Batu Ferringhi.

The nearest public schools are Sekolah Kebangsaan Tanjong Bungah and Sekolah Menengah Tanjong Bungah. Dalat International School is also nearby. Nearest market is the Tanjong Bungah Market. The nearest shopping mall is Island Plaza. The nearest hospital is Penang Adventist Hospital. The Tanjong Bungah Post Office serves the neighbourhood.

Measured from the junction of Tanjong Bungah Park with Jalan Tanjong Bungah (GPS: 5.463323, 100.301996), Tanjong Bungah is 7.9 km to Komtar, 14.4 km to the Penang Bridge, 22.8 km to the Second Penang Bridge and 24.2 km to the Penang International Airport.

Tanjong Bungah was the choice picnic strip for the people of Penang since the early fifties. During that time, Batu Ferringhi has not yet been developed, comprising just a hill road serving the string of fishing villagers along the coastline. The people living in George Town would head for Tanjong Bungah during the weekends for picnics. During those days, the sea was still clean enough to swim in, and sightings of jelly fish was less common.

Swimming and water-borne activities have always been a feature in Tanjong Bungah. As a result, both the Penang Swimming Club as well as the Penang Chinese Swimming Club are located here.

Over the years, as the quality of the sea water deteriorate due to the discharge of raw sewage, the resulting pollution makes it a breeding ground of jelly fish. As a result, the sea all along the northern belt is no longer suitable for swimming. Even so, it has not halted the development of the coastline, which saw a construction boom in the early 1980's, and again in the new millennium. Most of the development in Tanjong Bungah are upmarket residential units and super condominiums catering to the filthy rich. The present round of construction has planted a good number of skyscrapers along the Tanjong Bungah coastline, many rising to 40 storeys. They co-habit the Tanjong Bungah strip with the Malay village and Chinese community that has been at Tanjong Bungah for decades.

The community called Hillside used to be the residence of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) personnel from 1958 until 1988. During the RAAF tenure in Penang, one can easily identify the homes of RAAF personnel from the ramshakled automobiles that the Australian drive. Since the RAAF packed up and left, their residences have been bought over by locals. The RAAF Club building is still standing, in Tanjung Tokong, albeit in a dilapidated state.

Tanjong Bungah is also the site of the Penang Water Sports Centre. The centre offers kayaks and boats for rent. This is where members of the many dragon boat teams in Penang often come to train. For individual kayakers, including myself, one of the adventures is to row all the way to Pulau Tikus, the islet off Tanjong Bungah.

About this website



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.
