Sprint Expressway (E23) (6 August 2017)
Sprint Expressway (E23) is a major expressway in the Klang Valley. The name "Sprint" is an acronym for Sistem Penyuraian Trafic KL Barat. The expressway comprises three branches, called the Kerinchi Link, Damansara Link and Penchala Link.
The Kerinchi Link is named after the defunct Kampung Kerinchi, which is now the site of the Bangsar South integrated property development.1 The name Kerinchi is derived from a district, or kabupaten, on the western part of the province of Jambi in Indonesia, where the Kerinchi-Minangkabau dialect is spoken. The name Kerinchi itself is believed to have been derived from the Tamil word "Kurinci".2
