Balik Pulau Roundabout Monument 浮罗山背交通圈纪念碑

Balik Pulau Roundabout is the landmark of Balik Pulau town. Balik Pulau Roundabout is situated where the three main roads of the town converge. The three main roads are (i) Jalan Besar, also known as Balik Pulau Main Road, which is the Balik Pulau old town situated; (ii) Jalan Sungai Pinang, which leads off on to the northwest direction and from this road, will be able to go to Teluk Bahang and Batu Ferringhi; (iii) Jalan Balik Pulau, going south towards the village Balik Pulau, Bukit Genting and eventually towards Teluk Kumbar and Bayan Lepas.

在“浮罗山背” 的小镇有个富有历史性的地标 -交通圈纪念碑。这个交通圈纪念碑建立在小镇的三条主要道路交汇处。三个主要的道路是 (i) JalanBesar，也称为 “主要道路”Main Ro阿d ，也是浮罗山背小镇的所在处 ；(ii) Jalan Sungai Pinang  双溪槟榔路， 也是浮罗山背通往西北方向的主要道路，将能够通往 Teluk Bahang  和 Batu Ferringhi ；(iii) Jalan Balik Pulau ，也是往南走的方向，能到达 Kampung Balik  Pulau ，武吉云顶 Bukit Genting 和 Teluk  Kumbar (公巴小镇) 。

 

在交通圈处的中央建立了一座纪念碑。这纪念碑是由当时的客家富商辜尚達 (1833年 — — 1908) 于 1882 年所建立的。他建了这个纪念碑来纪念Sir Frederick Weld 爵士 (Governor of Malacca) （马六甲总督）的到访。纪念碑也是一个喷泉，里面装有两个狮头水龙头的喷泉。当地村民们认为，只要喷泉的水连绵不绝的流着，村里就会永远的蓬勃发展。最初的建设，水是来自山上的水源，其流量也表示地面的水位。这个喷泉已经过当地政府重修，以确保这个喷泉的运作情况良好。

There is a monument in the middle of the roundabout.  The monument was erected by a rich Hakka merchant Koh Seang Tatt (1833 – 1908) in the year of 1882. He built a monument at the roundabout to commensurate the visit of Sir Frederick Weld (Governor of Malacca) to Balik Pulau township. The monument is a fountain, with two lion-head faucets at the base of the fountain.  The villagers believed that as long as the water from the fountain, the village will prosper. Originally, the water was from the spring from the hill, its flow may indicated the level of ground water. This fountain has been renovated by district office to ensure the functioning of this fountain.
