context_page_description: Batu Uban is a residential neighbourhood at the eastern coast of Penang Island in Malaysia, about 6.7 km south of the centre of George Town, Penang's capital city, and adjacent to the Gelugor suburb. Founded by ethnic Minangkabaus in the early 18th century, Batu Uban is regarded as the oldest Malay settlement on Penang Island.
  Since the late 20th century, Batu Uban has been significantly urbanised, with residential high-rises now dotting the neighbourhood.
context_section_description: Rapid Penang bus routes 301, 302, 303 and 304 include stops along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, which forms the western limits of the Batu Uban neighbourhood. These routes link Batu Uban with George Town to the north and other southerly destinations on Penang Island, such as Bukit Jambul, Bayan Baru, Bayan Lepas and Batu Maung.
  In addition, Batu Uban, situated immediately south of the cross-strait Penang Bridge, is easily accessible for motorists from the mainland Malay Peninsula as well.
