Pulau Tikus, Penang
Pulau Tikus is the name of an affluent urban district on the
north-west part of George Town. Pulau Tikus proper starts near the
junction of Burmah Road with Edgecumbe Road, and ends just before
the Bagan Jermal junction. Burmah Road forms the main artery through
Pulau Tikus, with the heart of town at the intersection of Burmah
Road with Cantonment Road.
The name Pulau Tikus means "rat island". It took its name from Pulau
Tikus, the rocky outcrop off the north coast of Penang, which
ironically is not within sight of Pulau Tikus district.
The
Burmese and Eurasians were the earliest settlers in Pulau Tikus. The
Burmese had formed a settlement here in the early 19th century, and
their presence remained until the early part of the 20th century.
Today, the Burmese presence in Pulau Tikus is best represented by
the Dhammikarama Burmese Temple at Burmah Lane (Lorong Burma). It
has been around since the beginning of the 19th century. The oldest
part of the temple, the stupa, dates back to 1805.
