A 152-year-old stone marking the historical boundary between Penang and Kedah still stands in Pinang Tunggal, north Seberang Prai in Penang.

The stone with inscriptions in English, Siamese and Jawi stating “British and Siamese Boundary” is believed to have been erected by the British in 1869, following a treaty between Great Britain and Siam.
