context_page_description: Dato Keramat 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 western suburbs, stretching from Komtar, in the heart of George Town, towards Air Itam.
  While older shophouses still line Dato Keramat Road to this day, the road is also home to some of the more modern landmarks in the city centre, such as Gama departmental store, Penang Times Square and the City Stadium.
context_section_description: Dato Keramat Road was named after Dato Keramat, a Muslim ascetic in the early 19th century who lived in a Malay settlement along the road. In Arabic, the term 'Keramat' means a holy person or place, thus the name 'Dato Keramat' may have also referred to a Muslim shrine located within that settlement.
caption: Penang Times Square now stands on the site where a tin smelting facility once existed.
