Titi Teras is the name of the small village in Balik Pulau. It is located off Jalan Sungai Pinang, between Air Putih and Air Kongsi. 

GELUGOR, PULAU PINANG

Gelugor is a town in Georgetown, Penang. The city is named after a type of tamarind tree called "Asam Gelugor". Lies along the eastern seaboard of Penang Island, between Jelutong and Sungai Dua, and nearly 5 km south of the city centre. 

We stayed at Anggerik Lodging located on Jalan Hilir Pemancar, Gelugor about 28 km from Kg.Titi Teras throughout the Health Screening Program. 

It is 20-minute drive from Queensbay Shopping Mall, Penang is a 30-minutes drive away,E-Gate and LOTUS are accessible within walking distance away.  

While in Gelugor, I had the opportunity to meet with old friends who both served in the Navy with me, namely Osman Desa and Mohd Najib. Osman Desa served with me at KD Ganas based in Woodlands, Singapore in 1981, while Mohd Najib served with me at KD Sri Rejang in Sibu Sarawak in 1983/84.

My first experience through the Penang Bridge on April 15, 2012.The Penang Bridge is a 13.5 km dual carriageway toll bridge and control- access highway in the state of Penang in Malaysia. The bridge connects Perai on the mainland site of the state with Gelugor on the island, crossing the Penang Strait. 

The bridge was inaugurated on 14 September 1985, officially opened the Penang Bridge by 4th Prime Minister Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on 3 August 1985. 

Discover Balik Pulau, Pulau Pinang, a hidden gem in Penang that offers a unique and authentic travel experience. Balik Pulau is famous for its agriculture and fishery activities. 

Take your time there and enjoy the picturesque scene of the vast stretches of paddy fields. 

But of course, there is a lot more than just sightseeing in Balik Pulau in Penang, Malaysia!
