Description

Taman Desa Murni is a matured neighbourhood situated near the Perai River in Sungai Dua, on the mainland of Penang. It encapsulates a network of roads lined with rows of commercial shop lots and terrace houses. Businesses currently operating in the neighbourhood include convenience stores, mini marts, hardware stores, eateries, auto repair workshops and telecommunication shops, which are extremely handy for residents living there.

Not too far from Taman Desa Murni, one can pass by the paddy fields and meadows of Sungai Dua. The neighbourhood has the benefit of allowing one to stay out in a countryside environment, yet it is still within close proximity to most urban amenities. Of course, to get to the major shopping malls like Sunway Carnival Mall you would need to drive slightly further – about 14km from the neighbourhood – but it is offset by the neighbourhood’s peaceful setting.

To add to the convenience of Taman Desa Murni’s location, there are no fewer than five public schools around it, ranging from a Chinese school, SJK (C) Kai Chee, to Malay-medium schools like SK Sungai Dua, SK Desa Murni, SMK Desa Murni and SMK Datuk Haji Ahmad Said.

These schools are positioned in the midst of even more shops and amenities in the Sungai Dua town centre, such as a food court, post office, police station, wet market, supermarkets, two mosques, as well as restaurants and cafes. Taman Desa Murni is also set at an almost equal distance from two reputable hospitals – Hospital Kepala Batas and Hospital Seberang Jaya.

Residents just need to drive less than 3km either to get onto the North-South Expressway (NSE) that leads to other towns and states, or to access the Butterworth Outer Ring Road (BORR). Or, one can use the network of roads around Taman Desa Murni to get to other industrial or commercial areas, where myriad job opportunities and necessities can be found.
