Van Praagh Road, Penang (9 September 2012)
Van Praagh Road (Malay: Jalan Van Praagh) is a road in the Batu Lanchang area between Green Lane and Jelutong. It is usually regarded as part of Jelutong. Originally an insignificant side road, Van Praagh Road has today become a major artery, with the development of many high rise apartment blocks in the area.
Van Praagh Road is busiest on Friday evening, when the Taman Kheng Tian Night Market is in full swing. It is a convenient place to live, with the apartment units catering to the lower to middle income families. There are also a limited number of double storey link houses located off Van Praagh Road priced around RM700,000 (as of 2010) and above.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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