Dato Keramat Road is a major thoroughfare in the city of George Town within the Malaysian state of Penang.
[1] In Arabic, the term 'Keramat' means a holy person or place, thus the name 'Dato Keramat' may have also referred to a Muslim shrine located within that settlement.
[2][3] Tin from Perak and southern Thailand was shipped to George Town, and then transported to the facility to be smelted into ingots for re-export via the Port of Penang.
Dato Keramat Road was also known as the place where the founding father of modern China, Sun Yat-sen, once resided.
[1] The stadium, along with Padang Brown across the road, was where some of the best Malaysian football players in the 1960s and 1970s, who also represented Penang, played and trained.
