Tanjung Bungah, Coastal suburb near George Town, Malaysia

The area developed from a small fishing settlement with Chinese and Malay residents in the 1950s into a modern residential district. During the 1980s, large-scale residential construction transformed the shoreline into a developed urban neighborhood.
