was established in Nibong Tebal. The campus is very unique and prominent, situated in a small town, south bound Seberang Perai Selatan. The futuristic and modern concept of the landscape and layouts of buildings adds to the uniqueness and distinctiveness.

This campus is very prominent because it is the only higher learning institution in this suburban vicinity. The campus covers about 320 acres of land which was formerly a palm oil plantation. It was developed based on a futuristic but environmental friendly concept. Currently, the campus holds around 4000 students.

NIBONG TEBAL
Penang, Malaysia

Nibong Tebal

is the biggest town in Seberang Perai Selatan. The name Nibong Tebal means "dense palms", and may refers to the nibung trees that grow in the surrounding mangrove. It is situated in Seberang Perai on the mainland side of Penang, Malaysia, bordered by Parit Buntar in Perak and Bandar Baharu in Kedah. The majority population in Nibong Tebal are Chinese. They speak Teow Chew () instead of the Hokkien () which is commonly used on Penang island. This small tranquil town is surrounded by oil palm plantations and fishing villages dotting along the Krian River. Motorists approaching this town would be greeted by the iconic iron bridge which crosses the railway track.

Nibong Tebal is an ideal place for tourists who wish to seek for nature and a relaxing kampong-style gateway. Nibong Tebal is home to a firefly sanctuary along the mangrove swamps of Krian River. Visitors who come for firefly watching have the opportunity to enjoy the dazzling display of fireflies in the mangrove swamp as this can be done late in the evening by boat riding. The trip along the river normally took about 40 minutes and the boat operates from 8pm to 10pm depending on demand. The firefly sanctuary receives up to 100 visitors per week.

Nibong Tebal is also home to the Bukit Panchor State Park which attracts visitors in droves. The 445ha virgin forest was declared a state park in Penang in 2007 to enable the visitors to be closer to nature and to learn to appreciate green lungs better. Among the facilities provided at the state park are vast picnic areas, playgrounds, picturesque streams and rest huts for visitors who want to spend time with their families there.[5]

FOOD

Fresh daily catch from a fishing village nearby, Nibong Tebal is famous for its seafood. Restaurant Law Chang Kee () @ Nibong Tebal, Penang.

Tu Bo Sweei/ Boiled Baby Octopus (MYR 12 for large) is a must-try item in Law Chang Kee. This is a very simple dish by boiling freshly caught baby octopus and topped with some deep fried garlic oil, complemented by home made chili sauce topped with peanut powder. The crunchiness and freshness of those octopus, they were not overcooked, just amazing.

Stir Fried La-La with Tou Ban Jiang/ (MYR 12). The succulent and juicy La-La was stir fried using Tou Ban Jiang and some of the chilies, with a touch of Chinese Rice Wine. Despite of its simplicity, the dish turned out to be decent. The sauce worked perfectly with white rice, together with the fresh and flesh La-La. Not too shabby. For more information, visits http://www.kenhuntfood.com/2012/09/restaurant-law-chang-kee-nibong-tebal.html Chim Moay/ Crab Porridge The crabs were bountifully given, yet, most of them came with roe, making the porridge much sweeter and more flavorful. The crab porridge comes with Garden Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum coronarium/ ) and topped with a generous amount of Parsley as well.
