Bandar Baharu

The Bandar Baharu District (colloquially ''Bandaq Baqhu'' or ''Bandaq Baru''; once proposed to be renamed as Bandar Crustacea) is a town, district and state assembly constituency at the southernmost end of Kedah, Malaysia. Bandar Baharu is located along the Kedah-Penang–Perak border tripoint, southeast of George Town, Penang's capital city.

Due to its closer proximity to Penang, Bandar Baharu is also part of Greater Penang, Malaysia's second largest conurbation, with the town's logistical needs being met by Penang's well-developed transportation infrastructure.
