Jelutong Georgetown 🟡🔵 the soul of Penang Island Malaysia 日落洞 槟城美食

Описание: Jelutong is George Town's southern suburb, located past the southern banks of the Pinang River) immediately south of George Town. It is, for the most part, a working-class suburb.Jelutong got its name from the Jelutong tree.

The Jelutong tree is native to tropical Southeast Asia and the area around Jelutong, once had a heavy concentration of Jelutong trees, hence its name.

Even before Captain Francis Light landed on Penang Island in 1786, Malays, Acehnese and Indian merchants were already trading along the Pinang River.

According to oral tradition, the Acehnese used to trade in what is now Kampung Pulau at Perak Road. Indeed, some villages in Jelutong, such as Kampung Rawa, were founded by Malay or Acehnese traders who settled on Penang Island way before Captain Francis Light set foot.


The area to the south of George Town had been cleared in the mid-19th. century for agricultural purposes. Later on, an industrial boom led to the construction of factories and mills in the area; the former Khie Heng Bee Mills,

By the 1970s, Jelutong had gained notoriety for the gangsters and thugs roaming the working-class residential area. Street justice would be meted out for any infraction. In addition, Perak Lane was another criminal hostpot, witnessing repeated turf wars and police raids.
Beginning from the mid-1980s, living standards were improved and apartments were built within Jelutong for the lower to middle-income wage earners. These had the effect of gradually eradicating gangsterism in Jelutong. A few older houses and soy sauce factories refused to give way to urban development; they still stand along Jelutong Road today.

A new seaside promenade had been developed along Jelutong's eastern coasts in the 2000s. In 2014, the promenade was renamed Karpal Singh Drive.
