Chowrasta Road, George Town, Penang (12 October 2019)
Chowrasta Road (Malay: Jalan Chowrasta; Penang Hokkien: Ke1ling3na1 Ban3san1) is a road in George Town, Penang. It is one of the four roads surrounding the Chowrasta Market, a market which was established by the Indian community in 19th century George Town. The name "chowrasta" itself means "four crossroads - I suppose it refers to the cross roads formed by Chowrasta Road, Kuala Kangsar Road, Tamil Street and Penang Road.
Chowrasta Road and in fact the entire Chowrasta area including Tamil Street, is known in Hokkien as Ke1leng2na4 Ban3san1, meaning "South Indian Market".

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.
