Jalan Transfer, George Town, Penang (19 June 2017)


B. Melayu

Transfer Road, now known as Jalan Transfer, is one of the major roads in George Town, Penang. It runs from Burmah Road to Northam Road, and has a number of offshoots. Among the roads that branches off from Transfer Road are Phee Choon Road, Kedah Road, Dickens Street, Popus Lane, Dindings Lane, Hutton Lane, Ariffin Road, Jalan A.S. Mansoor, Argyll Road and Sri Bahari Road. The road is known in Penang Hokkien as Tiau3 Ho3 Lor33 調和路.

Transfer Road was constructed in the third quarter of the 19th century. It follows the course of the Transfer Road Canal, a ditch that has since been obscured for much of the way.

Transfer Road was named to commemorate the transfer of the administration of the Straits Settlements from Madras to Singapore in 1867, given greater autonomy in the administration of the states.

In the 1950s and 60s Transfer Road was one of the places offering hotels to visitors to Penang. Among them include Embassy Hotel and Hong Aun Hotel.

Being at the fringe of the George Town World Heritage Site, Transfer Road is again a choice location for small to moderate size accommodations, with a number of hotels opening along the road in the past few years.

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.
