Hey boys and girls, aunties & uncles!
Jelutong is George Town's southern suburb, located past the southern banks of the Pinang River) immediately south of George Town. It is, for the most part, a working-class suburb.Jelutong got its name from the Jelutong tree.
The Jelutong tree is native to tropical Southeast Asia and the area around Jelutong, once had a heavy concentration of Jelutong trees, hence its name.
Even before Captain Francis Light landed on Penang Island in 1786, Malays, Acehnese and Indian merchants were already trading along the Pinang River.
According to oral tradition, the Acehnese used to trade in what is now Kampung Pulau at Perak Road. Indeed, some villages in Jelutong, such as Kampung Rawa, were founded by Malay or Acehnese traders who settled on Penang Island way before Captain Francis Light set foot.
The area to the south of George Town had been cleared in the mid-19th. century for agricultural purposes. Later on, an industrial boom led to the construction of factories and mills in the area; the former Khie Heng Bee Mills,
By the 1970s, Jelutong had gained notoriety for the gangsters and thugs roaming the working-class residential area. Street justice would be meted out for any infraction. In addition, Perak Lane was another criminal hostpot, witnessing repeated turf wars and police raids.
Beginning from the mid-1980s, living standards were improved and apartments were built within Jelutong for the lower to middle-income wage earners. These had the effect of gradually eradicating gangsterism in Jelutong. A few older houses and soy sauce factories refused to give way to urban development; they still stand along Jelutong Road today.
A new seaside promenade had been developed along Jelutong's eastern coasts in the 2000s. In 2014, the promenade was renamed Karpal Singh Drive.

As a Jelutong resident, I always promote halal Jelutong food scene to my KL friends when they're on holiday in penang. In terms of street food Jelutong has a lot of good options that are under the radar to most out-of-towners.

2:45 the place where I live, I have few former gangsters as neighbours. They're mostly in their mid 60s to late 70s. They usually have gang tattoos somewhere on their body. Most of them are quite friendly and would sometimes tell about their gangster days when I chat with them.
What a great anecdote! Thanks for sharing, it made my day.
