Introduction To Balik Pulau

Balik Pulau simply means 'the other side of the island'- literally that’s how it means. Balik Pulau is cannot be seen from the other side of the island unless you’ve traveled through the hillside road. It’s located just on the northwestern coast of the Penang Island; it’s the fruit bowl of Penang featuring fruit plantations and spice gardens.

Route to reach Balik Pulau

One is by following the coastal road all the way round the island-take the Teluk Bahang road to Balik Pulau. By following this way, you can view the beautiful beaches of Batu Feringghi, forests, and farms of durian.

The second way is via Teluk Kumbar. Following this route, you will pass through the industrial area of Bayan Lepas. But please note, the hillside road via Teluk Kumbar is still under construction and very minimal road lights available during the night. If you fell hasty about driving on the road you’ve unknown about, you might want to consider the other route. However, despite the turns in this route, there’s minimal volume of gear changing during driving.

The third way to reach Balik Pulau is through Jalan Tun Sardon. This route has the widest road among all. You can view Balik Pulau beautiful scenario by following this way as it passes over a small hill. A very clear and beautiful sunset can be view on the way of this road or you may stop for a while at hilltop of the road for photo snapping.

Sarawak state govt to extend Kg Salak by building 320 affordable houses

KUCHING: Fisherman Jamali Uni is excited over the state government’s plan to build affordable housing while it maintains his nearby village, Kampung Salak, as a traditional fishing village.

“With this, my children who work in the city can own an affordable home on the mainland and yet still keep their heritage,” said the 66-year-old at the Kampung Salak Durian Festival here yesterday.

“Now, they are renting in the city because it’s such a hassle to take the 15-minute boat ride off the island.”

The state government plans to extend the village to the mainland by building 320 units of affordable housing at Sungai Tiram and it is expected to be completed at the latest, by next year.

The scheme will also cater for villagers from Pasir Pandak and Pasir Panjang, which were badly affected by erosion.

Other than the unpredictable tides, which make commuting to work difficult, villagers at the 100-year-old Kampung Salak also have to contend with the absence of water and electricity.

The village, which has a population of over 500, has all this while, survived on generators for electricity and water from man-made ponds.

Currently, it is lights out by midnight and dry taps that could last for three months during the dry season.

Conceding that it was just too expensive to provide these amenities, Pantai Damai assemblyman Dr Abdul Rahman Junaidi said this was the main reason for the move to extend the village to the mainland.

He hoped to meet with the Rural and Regional Development Ministry on the possibility of supplying treated water to Kampung Salak from the mainland via submarine water pipes.

Dr Abdul Rahman said the Government intended to promote the area for eco-tourism for its marine life adding that it was also known for dolphin sightings and other aquaculture activities.

The island itself, he added, had caves that could prove interesting for archeologists.

“Even now, Kampung Salak has its own homestay programme and because of its unique placing of being an island surrounded by mangroves although within the city area, it’s one of the few closest place a visitor could go to for a fishing village experience,” he added.
