Bandar Baru Air Itam, Penang
Bandar Baru Ayer Itam, better known as Farlim, is a major township
in Air Itam, Penang. It is located on land that belonged to Leong
San Tong Khoo Kongsi, and was previously known as Thean Teik Estate.
The name Farlim, which means "beautiful forest" comes from the name
of the company that developed the township, and describes the
forested area before it underwent development.
Farlim was developed with a mix of low cost, medium cost and
upmarket properties. To serve the residence in the area, a town
centre was also created from Lintang Angsana and side roads. A
public park was created in the town centre. It is also used as the
site of a weekly night market.
The
presence and contribution of the Khoo Kongsi is still very much
apparent in Farlim today, with a Chinese school, Sekolah Rendah
Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Sin Kang, and the Sin Kang Estate Funeral
Parlour among the institutions established by the clan association
located there.
To support the booming population of Farlim, a number of community
supermarkets and hypermarkets have been built there including
Sunshine Farlim and Econsave. The Permata Sports Complex provides a
venue for sports.
