Leboh Pasar Besar, Kuala Lumpur (18 December, 2009)


Leboh Pasar Besar, or simply Lebuh Pasar on some maps, is a minor road in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Originally known as Market Street, it is one of the oldest streets in the city. When the rest of Kuala Lumpur was still very much forested, this area was the hive of activity. The Kapitan Cina Yap Ah Loy lived here. His house, which no longer extant, was at the junction of Market Street and Rodger Street (present-day Jalan Hang Kasturi).

Bordering the northern side of Leboh Pasar Besar today is Medan Pasar, or Market Square, which its historic clock tower.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
