Putra Lake (GPS: 5.37191, 100.55958) or Tasik Putra is a lake in the heart of Kulim, Kedah. As with so many other man-made lakes in the country, Putra Lake is the result of tin mining that was carried out in the area, as early as the 1850s. It is one of the tin mines in Kulim, apart from those at Kampung Bukit Besar, Karangan, Terap and Kelang Lama.

The area around Putra Lake was beautified and turned into the Kulim Lake Garden, or Taman Tasik Bandaran. In the evening, clusters of hawkers ply their trade in the open-air area within sight of the lake.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
