Jalan Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur

The start of Jalan Sungai Besi, at its junction with Jalan Pudu and Jalan Pasar (8 July, 2016)


Jalan Sungai Besi is one of the major roads in Kuala Lumpur. What began as a laterite path to the tin mines has today developed into a major urban thoroughfare. It was originally called Sungei Besi Road.

In its present incarnation, Jalan Sungai Besi starts at Pudu, at the intersection with Jalan Pudu, beyond which lies Jalan Pasar. It meets Jalan Yew and Jalan Loke Yew at a multi-tier interchange.

In the ever changing cityscape of Kuala Lumpur, parts of Jalan Sungai Besi has been widened, lengthened and transformed, that it is often difficult to trace the original road. At the junction with Jalan Istana, there is a link of the Sungai Besi Expressway. Jalan Sungai Besi continues bearing south from there, to eventually end at the Sungai Besi Toll Plaza, the starting point of the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway.

Among the roads that meet Jalan Sungai Besi include Jalan San Peng, Jalan Kalong, Jalan Foss, Jalan Gelang, Lorong Loke Yew, Jalan Satu and Jalan Dua. Sights and buildings along the way include Wisma SCA, Wisma Naza, Champion Club, Wisma Mahamewah, Wisma Yeoh Tiong Tee, Phoenix Hotel, Southgate Commercial Centre, Wisma Mah Sing, Volvo Showroom, Proton Service Centre and the Sungai Besi Air Base, housing the Royal Malaysian Air Force Museum.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
