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
