Tanjung Tokong

Tanjung Tokong

Tanjung Tokong (English Translation: Bay of Temples) is a small town in Penang, Malaysia, bordering Gurney Drive and Tanjung Bungah. Penang's first modern shopping mall Island Plaza, is located here. The state's first megamall, Gurney Plaza is also located here. Tanjung Tokong was one of the areas afflicted by the 2004 tsunami disaster.

The place is currently seeing a major transformation with the land reclamation off the northern shore for a massive land development by E&O Development. A new township of bungalows, and terrace houses together with modern marinas and commercial complex will be built on the reclaimed land.

Famous people in Tanjung Tokong include the former Penang State executive councillor, Khoo Kay Poh and the former chairman of MCA (Penang Branch), Dr Sak Cheng Lum.

The disgraced, ineffectual former Chief Minister Koh Tsu Koon was from Tanjung Bungah, not, Tanjung Tokong.
