Taman Tun Sardon is a residential neighbourhood within the city of George Town in Penang, Malaysia. Located 5.7 km (3.5 mi) south of the city centre, this working-class neighbourhood, which neighbours Minden Heights to the south and consists of low-cost five storey flats, was created in the 1980s and forms part of the Gelugor suburb.[1][2] In all, 22 housing blocks were constructed within the neighbourhood to cater to the needs of lower-income citizens.[2]

Etymology[]

Taman Tun Sardon was named in honour of Sardon Jubir, a Johor-born politician who served as the Governor of Penang between 1975 and 1981.[1]

Transportation[]

Jalan Hilir Pemancar runs through Taman Tun Sardon, making it the main thoroughfare within the neighbourhood.[1][2] Residents within the neighbourhood are also served by Rapid Penang bus routes 206 and 302, which include stops along the road.[3][4]

Education[]

A single high school, SMK Datuk Haji Mohd Nor Ahmad, is located within Taman Tun Sardon.[5]
