Jalan A.S. Mansoor was previously known as Jalan Sekerat or Halfway Road until 2010, when it was renamed in honor of the philanthropist and founding member of three Indian Muslim associations (namely the United Muslim Association, Penang Muslim League and Central Muslim Society), in recognition to his contribution to the community.
The name Jalan Sekerat means roughly "one short road", and it doesn't deviate far from that meaning. As one of the roads off Transfer Road, Jalan Sekerat was the site of Malay and Peranakan Jawi settlements in the early 20th century. There is also an Indian Muslim presence here. Until Transfer Road was laid out in the third quarter of the 19th century, villagers get there by sampan going up the waterway that today forms part of the Forgotten Canals of George Town, all the way to the Dato Koyah Shrine.

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.
