 neighbourhood, residential neighbourhood
Macallum Street Ghaut is a neighbourhood within the city centre of George Town. This working-class, predominantly Chinese area was reclaimed from the sea in the 1980s. The low-cost apartments within the neighbourhood were built by the Penang Development Corporation (PDC), a state government-linked firm, following the land reclamation which extended George Town's shoreline further east.

Comments

  • Please clarified the terms " full of psychotic and rabies ". Please research thoroughly before you comment. Don't simply tarnish an area with your personal view. I have stayed in this area for the past 40 years but I did not witness any extreme condition that you have stated.
  • Like any wiki, any entry created is potentially abusive or misleading in either the entry itself (the "Macallum" entry above, which doesn't even have a Wikipedia article), comments (specifically, Resident's), or ratings (a single person can repeatedly downvote anyone who doesn't agree with that person's opinion, using rotating IPs). That's why you would want to avoid trusting it 100%. According to the book "Streets of Georgetown, Penang", the area (southeast off CY Choy Road, formerly Bridge Street) had a history of Hokkien Triad activity a very long time ago (during the 19th century). But a former resident in the area should by right have a better assessment of the area's recent history, not those who merely claim to know (both Crono and resident).
