Growing pains of Bayan Baru


General view of the Bayan Baru constituency.

BAYAN Baru, comprising the northeast and southwest districts in Penang, has all the typical problems of an economically booming town.

Strategically located near the first and second Penang bridges, Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone, and the Penang International Airport, the town has been growing fast since 1972, when it was launched by the Penang Development Corporation.
