Batu Uban is a residential neighbourhood within the city of George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang, about 6.7 km (4.2 mi) south of the city centre. Founded by ethnic Minangkabaus in the early 18th century, Batu Uban is regarded as the oldest Malay settlement on Penang Island.[1][2]
Since the late 20th century, Batu Uban has been significantly urbanised, with residential high-rises now dotting the neighbourhood.[1][3][4][5]
