Jalan Saloma is a minor road in downtown Kuala Lumpur. It connects to Jalan Ampang, across the road from Jalan P. Ramlee. It ends at the Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery.
Jalan Saloma is most likely named after the late Puan Sri Datin Amar Salmah binti Ismail, wife of the legendary entertainer P. Ramlee. Going by the stage name of Saloma, she was awarded the title of Biduanita Pertama Negara, or First National Songstress, in 1978. She passed away at the age of 48 on 25 April, 1983, and the posthumously awarded the title of Puan Sri in 1990, when her late husband was posthumously awarded the Darjah Yang Mulia Setia Mahkota Malaysia, which carries the title of Tan Sri.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
