Jalan Thean Teik, Ayer Itam

Jalan Thean Teik, Ayer Itam, Penang (28 December 2020)


Jalan Thean Teik, formerly Thean Teik Road, is a major road in Ayer Itam, Penang. Until the development of the Farlim township in the early 1980s, the road led to Thean Teik Estate, a plantation land owned by the Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi. The clan association purchased the land in the 1920s and named it after its most illustrious leader, 19th century personality, Khoo Thean Teik.

Present-day Thean Teik Road connects Jalan Air Itam to the Farlim Intersection, where it intersects Lebuhraya Thean Teik, and continues as Jalan Angsana. The prime mover in the redevelopment of the Thean Teik Estate is the Farlim Group, which is why the township is also called Farlim.

Even as the land in Thean Teik Estate made way for residential development, much of the public facilities along Thean Teik Road continues to bear the fingerprints of its principal land owner, the Khoo clan association. These include the primary school, Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Sin Kang, named after the Khoo ancestral village, and the Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi Funeral Parlour.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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