List of streets in George Town, PenangFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The street names ofGeorge Town, reflect themulticultural heritage ofthe city, the capital of aformer British settlementof Penang, now part ofMalaysia, which has amultiracial, largelyChinese population.

Most streets in the citywere built and namedduring the colonial era,and the historic Englishnames generally remainand are still used by most Penangites. Since the passage of theNational Language Act 1967, government policy has been to use theMalay language for all official purposes, and the Malay translationsof the street names are the primary official versions that are used onstreet signs, now supplemented with names in English (and, in someplaces, Chinese, Tamil and Arabic).

Traditional Chinese namesIn addition to the official English and Malay names, many streets in central George Town have a mostlyunrelated and original set of road names in Penang Hokkien, the language of the majority of Penang'smajority Malaysian Chinese community. These are noted in the table below using the Peh-oe-ji notationcommon in Taiwan. As the Hokkien names cited here are not official, and are based on an oral tradition, theymay be out of date.

Many streets also have Cantonese names that are less well-known and are not documented here.

Changes in street namesSince independence, there have been some changes to the official names of some streets. On the whole,however, like Singapore and unlike many other cities in Malaysia, George Town has retained most of itscolonial street names, although until recently they have been indicated on street signs only in their Malaytranslations.

Until 2007, street signs in George Town were only written in Malay, as a result of the national languagepolicy. Unfortunately, this had the effect of confusing tourists, who found it difficult to match the Englishnames commonly used by Penangites with the Malay names on street signs which were often very different.In the case of proper nouns, the English name is easily recognisable, e.g. Kimberley Street is LebuhKimberley. In other cases, however, the Malay translation may be unfamiliar to those who do not speak thelanguage, e.g. Church St is literally translated as Lebuh Gereja (from the Portuguese igreja). A few streetshave been given completely new names in Malay.

Even where official street names have changed, the local population have largely continued informally to usethe old names when referring to streets. This is partly because the new names are often unwieldy (e.g. GreenLane vs Jalan Masjid Negeri, Pitt Street vs Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, or Northam Road vs Jalan SultanAhmad Shah), but also reflects a strong conservatism in the local population, who see Penang's colonialhistory as part of their local identity. When Scott Road was renamed Jalan D S Ramanathan, after the firstMayor of the City of George Town, the new street signs were repeatedly defaced and had to be replacedseveral times, eventually forcing the city authorities to fix a replacement street sign fifteen feet up alamppost (instead of at waist-height, as was then usual).

Street sign designThe oldest street signs in the centre of George Town are rectangularand made of painted metal plate (blue with white lettering), usuallyaffixed to corner shop-houses at the top of the ground floor, andmany can still be seen. In the suburbs, rectangular cast-iron signswith indented corners (white with black lettering and edging) inEnglish and sometimes Jawi script, fixed at head-height to a blackiron pole surmounted with a finial, could also be seen. Almost all ofthese have recently been replaced by the modern road signs.

By 2007, rectangular reflective road signs (green with white lettering)in the Malay Rumi script had largely replaced the older signs. Thesewere initially at waist-height, fixed to two black metal supports, andsubsequently at head-height, fixed to a single black metal support.These signs also indicated the postal town and postcode.

Since 2007, new bilingual reflective street signs based on the oldsuburban signs have started to replace the Malay-only street signs.These are partly based on the old white signs, and are rectangularwith indented corners (green with white lettering) and mounted athead-height to a black iron pole surmounted with an onion dome. Thestreet name is given in Malay and English, together with the town andpostcode.

In June 2007, while Penang was under the rule of Gerakan, streetsigns in Chinese were illegally set up by Penang's DAP SocialistYouth division along several roads in George Town under thejustification it helps attract tourists from China, only to be removed by the Penang Municipal Council.[1]

The remaining wing of the old PenangSecretariat on Beach Street

On July 22, 2008, following DAP's electoral victory in Penang andGeorge Town's entry into UNESCO's World Heritage Site list,Gerakan was reported to have placed Chinese-language on existingstreet signs at six roads, claiming the signs were now vital withGeorge Town's recognition by UNESCO and serve as a reminder toDAP of its earlier promises to erect such signs if voted into office.[1]

DAP Socialist Youth National Organizing secretary Koay Teng Haihad also proposed to include Tamil and Jawi translations, dependingon the cultural background of the area, along with Chinese streetnames.[1]

Despite opposition from Malay political parties and individuals atstate and federal levels, the bilingual street signs with Chinese orArabic names were put up in November 2008.[2] Bilingual streetsigns with Tamil names have also been put up.

Standard translationsIn translating the English words for street, road, lane, etc., the cityauthorities follow a fairly regular system to avoid confusion betweenmany streets of similar names. There are exceptions to this rulewhere the historic Malay usage is different and there is no chance ofconfusion, e.g. Hutton Lane has always been known as Jalan Hutton(see e.g. the Mesjid Jalan Hatin (mosque) there) rather than *LorongHutton.

Avenue - Lebuhraya (e.g. Peel Avenue/Lebuhraya Peel;context usually prevents confusion with the normal meaning oflebuhraya, viz. highway/expressway)Circus - Lilitan (e.g. Hargreaves Circus/Lilitan Hargreaves)Close - Solok (e.g. Scott Close/Solok Scott)Court - Halaman (e.g. Cantonment Court/HalamanCantonment)Crescent - Lengkok (e.g. Jesselton Crescent/LengkokJesselton)Cross - Lintang (e.g. Burmah Cross/Lintang Burma)Drive - Persiaran (e.g. Gurney Drive/Pesiaran Gurney)Gardens - Taman (e.g. Western Gardens/Taman Western)Lane - Lorong (e.g. Prangin Lane/Lorong Perangin)Place - Pesara (e.g. Claimant Place/Pesara Claimant)Quay - Pengkalan (e.g. Weld Quay/Pengkalan Weld)Road - Jalan (e.g. Perak Road/Jalan Perak)Square - Medan (e.g. College Square/Medan Maktab; also used for some new square-shaped roadsthat are not open squares, e.g. York Square/Medan York)Street - Lebuh (e.g. Campbell Street/Lebuh Campbell)Street Ghaut - Gat Lebuh (e.g. China Street Ghaut/Gat Lebuh China)Terrace - Tingkat (e.g. Erskine Terrace/Tingkat Erskine)

The word "Ghaut" at the end of some street names reflects the fact that they are extensions of the originalstreets beyond the original waterfront at Beach St with the reclamation of the Ghauts and the construction ofWeld Quay, ghat being a Hindi and Bengali word meaning a flight of steps leading down to a body of water.
