Seberang Jaya
Seberang Jaya is a suburb of Seberang Perai in the Malaysian state of Penang. Located at the southern bank of the Perai River and east of Perai proper, the area was developed in the 1970s. Since then, Seberang Jaya has evolved into a booming area, with various commercial and retail developments.
The township of Seberang Jaya was built in 1970 by the Penang Development Corporation (PDC), in tandem with the establishment of the Perai Free Industrial Zone. The construction of the new township was aimed at providing a housing area adjacent to the newly built industries in Perai, and erasing social and economic inequalities between the urban and rural inhabitants.
As of 2020[update], Mukim 1, the subdivision that contains Seberang Jaya, was home to a population of 48,785. Malays formed over 45% of the population, followed by Chinese at 22% and Indians at 15%. The suburb also had a substantial non-citizen community that made up another 15% of the population.
Two major highways cut through the heart of Seberang Jaya – the North–South Expressway and the Butterworth–Kulim Expressway. Both expressways intersect at the former's Interchange 163 within the centre of the township.
Rapid Penang's buses 703 and 709 connect the township with Butterworth and Bukit Mertajam. These are complemented by Rapid Penang's Congestion Alleviation Transport (CAT), a free-of-charge transit service within Seberang Jaya. In addition, Rapid Penang also operates Bridge Express Shuttle Transit (BEST) bus services towards Bayan Lepas on Penang Island, catering mainly to industrial workers, as well as an interstate bus service to the town of Sungai Petani in the neighbouring state of Kedah.
Seberang Jaya has two primary schools, two high schools and a private tertiary institution.
