Yeap Chor Ee Road (Jalan Yeap Chor Ee)

Yeap Chor Ee Road, Gelugor, Penang (22 January 2020)


Yeap Chor Ee Road (Malay: Jalan Yeap Chor Ee) is a major road in Gelugor, Penang. Skirting the northern portion of Bukit Gelugor, it connects Jalan Bukit Gambir, at the junction with Jalan Kaki Bukit, to Green Lane.

Until the 3rd quarter of the 20th century, Yeap Chor Ee Road was a dead end country lane just outside the southern boundary of George Town. It was the road that led to the plantations at Bukit Gelugor and Bukit Gambir.

The construction of Jalan Bukit Gambir in the 1980s changed all that. It turned Yeap Chor Ee Road into a major road to connect George Town with the newly established neighbourhoods such as Sungai Dua, Lip Sin Gardens and Bukit Jambul. The residential houses of Island Glades now see heavy vehicle movement and traffic crawls, particularly during the morning and evening rush hours. On the south side of Yeap Chor Ee Road are the older houses of Bukit Gelugor. These properties, regarded as rural when they were built many decades ago, are now on expensive suburban land.

The land surrounding Yeap Chor Ee Road was once plantation land belonging to local magnate Yeap Chor Ee, whose legacy is immortalised in the Homestead, Wawasan Open University and the House of Yeap Chor Ee.

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.
