Kulim is an ever-developing district where Kulim Hi-Tech Park, the first high technology industrial park in Malaysia, was established in 1996. The name Kulim is derived from the Kulim tree. Kulim is the third-largest town in Kedah after Alor Setar and Sungai Petani.

My first time setting foot in Kulim, Kedah was in 2013 while working with the Heart Foundation of Malaysia. I was involved in the Health Screening Program at SMJK Chio Min, Kulim, Kedah on December 29, 2013.

The travel distance from Kuala Lumpur to Kulim, Kedah, is 366 km, with a travel time of 4 hours and 43 minutes. 

SMJK CHIO MIN, KULIM, KEDAH

SMJK Chio Min was established in 1957 as a continuation of Chio Min Primary School, which was founded on May 10, 1918. In 1942, Chio Min School was forced to close due to the Japanese invasion, but it reopened in 1945.

KULIM INN

Throughout the health program we have stayed at the Kulim Inn located on Jalan Bukit Awi, Kulim, Kedah. This budget hotel is 3 km from Taman Burung Kulim. Kulim Inn is the oldest inn in the town of Kulim. It used to be known as Rumah Rehat Kulim and was quite popular among the elite in Kulim once upon a time. It is now under the administration of the Kulim Municipal Council.
