Jalan Kelawei (Malay)
Coordinates: 5°26′6.75″N 100°18′34.88″E / 5.4352083°N 100.3096889°EKelawei Road is a major thoroughfare in the city of George Town in Penang, Malaysia. It is one of the main roads leading out of the city centre to the suburbs, stretching from the heart of George Town towards Pulau Tikus. This leafy road runs just behind Gurney Drive, passing by a number of well-known landmarks and shopping malls; the high-rises of Gurney Drive also line the northern side of Kelawei Road.
As with Burmah Road, Kelawei Road passes through the suburb of Pulau Tikus, thus it has witnessed significant Eurasian, Thai and Burmese influences. An Eurasian community still resides along Kelawei Road to this day, forming the Penang Eurasian Association.
