Penang State Assembly Building
Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang, Lebuh Light, George Town


        




The Penang State Assembly Building, or Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang, is a public building built in the Anglo-Indian classical style. It used to be the Recorder's Courts and Magistrate's Courts, and formed part of the Central Police Station. At that time, all criminal court cases were heard at the Police Court, which was housed there. The Penang State Assembly Building was built in the early 19th Century, and renovated in 1874. An administrative block, now the Immigration Building, was added in 1890.

Getting there

From the Weld Quay Bus Terminal, use the pedestrian bridge to cross Pengkalan Weld. Walk along Pengkalan Weld, through Pesara King Edward to the roundabout. The State Assembly Building is located on the left side of Lebuh Light, immediately after the roundabout.

What to see and do there

The State Assembly Building is not open to the public. You can just view it from the roadside.

    SBI

    Ever want to build your own website? Do it the right way by using Site Build It (SBI). It has all the tools and lessons necessary to help you create a successful website. Once you have built an SBI website, you can also use it to recommend SBI to others with an SBI Affiliate account. What I like most about SBI is that it gives you a whole month to try it out for free, and if you don't like it after a full month, you can seek a full refund. That way, you can see for yourself how SBI can really help you create a great website.
