Mahathir's birth place Kedah Tourism Complex Pekan Rabu KTM Alor Star
Alor Star is the capital of Kedah State. It can be accessed by road using North-South Highway, turning out at Alor Star Selatan Interchange or by rail, stopping at Alor Star Railway Station.

Alor Star has many historical buildings. Some of the places I have seen near Malaysia's fourth Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's Birth Place are Police station, Post Office, Alor Star 250 Year Monument, Pekan Rabu and Railway Station.

Mahathir's birth place was officially opened to public on 20-Dec-1992. His birth house is the old wooden malay house which was extended in the front section. The front part when first entered was the extention with a main hall in front and 2 rooms behind the main hall. After this section, is the front part of the original wooden house and has a room for parents, guest area, children's area and a kitchen at the back section. Outside this house, there are several houses used as show rooms about Mahathir.

On the upper eastern side of Mahathir's birth place, police station, post office and Kedah Tourism Complex can be found. A little further up north from the post office is the Alor Star 250 Year Monument. This monument is located behind Balai Seni.

Pekan Rabu, is a popular shopping building in town. In the evening, many movable stalls will open to sell things from cloths to food. Opposite Pekan Rabu, it the most busy bus station in town. Local buses to most places if not all will pass through this bus stand. I took a bus from here to Kuala Kedah and back.

KTM Alor Star is located somewhere on the eastern side of post office and a little south of Pekan Baru. It is the main rail station in Kedah. Those interested in train schedule, below is a simple schedule.

From my experience, the train might move a little later than the schedule time. From their table for each train, I guess one column is for the arrival time and the other for departure.
