Sitiawan is located within the district of Manjung in Perak. This is the hometown of my father and it’s a place I visit a few times every year. It’s quite a happening place (please do not compared to Kuala Lumpur yeah) and I could feel the growth every time I am in Manjung. This is especially when compared to my hometown Ipoh as well as that town with a world title called Taiping. (read here for the title) Plus, it is now along the route of the West Coast Expressway (WCE) too and this will mean even more accessibility and connectivity too. (read more on WCE here) Here’s more news about Manjung, Perak.
Article in nst.com.my There is a new development with a gross development value (GDV) of RM2 billion in Manjung. The development is called Riverbank Cove and it is situated in the rivermouth of Sungai Tiong overseeing Pangkor Island.
