Sungai Dua, PenangSungai Dua, Penang (10 October 2012)


Sungai Dua is a residential neighbourhood on the east central part of Penang Island. Not to be confused with Sungai Dua on Penang Mainland, the Sungai Dua on Penang Island is bordered by Universiti Sains Malaysia to the north, Sungai Nibong to the east, and Bukit Jambul to the west and south.

The namesake Sungai Dua is a river flowing from east to west. It empties into the South Channel at the Putra Marine Resort in Queensbay. The river has a tributary emerging from Universiti Sains Malaysia to converge with the main river near the end of Lorong Helang. As with most of the rivers on the eastern shore of Penang Island, Sungai Dua is canalised for much of its route.

Measured from the junction of Jalan Pekaka 1 with Jalan Sungai Dua (GPS: 5.349718, 100.296365), Sungai Dua is 9.6 km to Komtar, 3.1 km to the Penang Bridge, 9.5 km to the Second Penang Bridge and 7.7 km to the Penang International Airport.

About Sungai Dua

As late as the mid 1970s Sungai Dua was still a farming neighbourhood with vegetable plots covering much of its landscape. Since then it has developed with residential properties. One of the earliest was Lip Sin Garden in the late 1970s. This was followed by the housing estate at Jalan Merak and then at Taman Pekaka. As with elsewhere in Penang, Sungai Dua began experiencing high-rise development from the early 1980s.

Many of the high rise residential units in Sungai Dua lack adequate parking, forcing the tenants to park along the streets outside their block, creating undue congestion. The two main roads in the area are Jalan Sungai Dua and Lorong Sungai Dua. Both used to be country roads that have now become increasingly urbanised, particularly Jalan Sungai Dua. It is today a busy street serving the surrounding neighbourhood.

How to go to Sungai Dua

Sungai Dua is served by Rapid Penang Bus No. 301, 303 and 304. The Sungai Nibong Express Bus Terminal is located at the junction of Jalan Sungai Dua and Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, providing easy connection to destinations throughout Peninsular Malaysia. Sungai Dua is 9.5 km from Komtar.

Amenities in Sungai Dua

The nearest school in Sungai Dua is Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Keong Hoe. Other nearby schools include Sekoleh Rendah Kebangsaan Bukit Jambul, in Bukit Jambul; and Kwang Hwa Primary School and Shih Chung (Primary) Branch School in Sungai Nibong. The nearest market in Sungai Dua are the Lip Sin Market and the Super Tanker Market. The nearest shopping mall are the small Lucas Ark Digital Mall, and the huge Queensbay Mall. Tesco Extra is a hypermarket in Sungai Dua. There isn't any hospital in the immediate vicinity, though there are a few clinics. The nearest hospital is Pantai Hospital. There isn't any petrol stations at Sungai Dua itself, but a number within the immediate neighbourhood.

Traffic situation in Sungai Dua

There is a bottleneck near the Sungai Dua village, due mostly to cars parked along the road. With the removal of the Sungai Dua market and the redevelopment of that area, the traffic congestion is expected to be eradicated. Jalan Pekaka, the main road linking Jalan Sungai Dua and Jalan Bukit Gambir, is usually quite congested. That said, Sungai Dua is strategically located, and is close to shopping premises such as Queensbay Mall and Tesco Extra.

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.
