Pantai Jerjak, Penang

Pantai Jerjak (14 December 2020)


Pantai Jerjak (GPS: 5.34553, 100.30268), also written Pantai Jerejak, is a middle-class residential neighbourhood in Sungai Nibong, Penang. It got its name from being on the coast overlooking Pulau Jerjak. Pantai Jerjak was established in the late 1970's and early 1980's as the population of Penang began to spill southwards and former countryside made way for residential development. It was originally called Saw Kit Garden, named after the wife of the late tycoon Loh Boon Siew who owned the land.¹

The houses in Pantai Jerjak comprise single-storey link house, double-storey link house and double-storey semi-detached houses. In more recent times, there are also a few high rises built around the periphery of the housing estate.
