Jalan Sir Hussein, George Town

Jalan Sir Hussein, George Town, Penang (23 September 2012)


Jalan Sir Hussein is a minor road in the Green Lane area of George Town, Penang. It is reached via Jalan Cheeseman. Jalan Sir Hussein connects Taman Wu Lien Teh in the north with Jalan Taylor in the south. Also forming junctions with Jalan Sir Hussein are Gerbang Heah Swee Lee, Taman Kennedy and Taman Sir Hussein.

Jalan Sir Hussein was named after Sir Dr. Hussein Hasanally Abdoolcader, a prominent Penang lawyer from the early 20th century. Sir Hussein holds the distinction of being the first Indian Muslim in Malaya to be knighted. The road that bears his name was laid in the 1950s, after which an early housing estate was created there, adjacent to quarters for government servants.

I grew up on Jalan Sir Hussein until I was six years old, when my family moved out, though we kept the property until it was later sold by my mother to Eden Handicap for work of the disabled.
