"Waterway" Sculpture, Prangin Road Ghaut, George Town

Waterway is a steel-road sculpture installed on a wall facing Prangin Road Ghaut, near the junction with Beach Street, in George Town, Penang. The sculpture based on caricature by Reggie Lee depicts a fruit and vegetable vendor serenading his lover from his boat, without know that she is already someone else's wife.

The "Waterway" Sculpture celebrates the Prangin Canal, once the most important waterway in Penang. The canal began life as the Prangin River which once meandered from the wetlands to empty into the South Channel. It was later canalized and by the turn of the 20th century became the most important wholesale market area in George Town. The importance of this canal has long past, but its history is remembered with this sculpture, based on a caricature by Reggie Lee.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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