Jalan Yew, Kuala Lumpur (8 July, 2016)
Jalan Yew is a major road in
Kuala Lumpur. It connects the
Jalan Kampung Pandan roundabout in the north with the
Jalan Loke Yew roundabout in the south.
Jalan Yew was named after Chinese businessman Yew Swee Guat
1. There used to be a Yew Swee Guat Street in the Kuala Lumpur Chinatown, but it was absorbed into Foch Avenue, which in turn was later renamed Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. Another road in the Titiwangsa area, Seavoy Road, was also named Yew Swi Guat Road, after him. But that road too, was renamed later, to Lorong Titiwangsa 5. Jalan Yew is presently the only road in Kuala Lumpur bearing the name of Yew Swee Guat.
