Penang Street Art (Transfer Road Sidewalk Traders)


Another steel rod sculpture installed at the traffic light junction of Transfer Road and Hutton Lane at George Town.
This sculpture depicts the traders and vendors (mainly from China in the old days) who set up small businesses along the five foot sideway in the area. Some of these small traders would later rise to be among the wealthiest in Penang.
