Jalan Dato' Kapten Ahmad, Kluang

Jalan Dato' Kapten Ahmad, Kluang (4 August 2019)

Jalan Dato' Kapten Ahmad is a major road in downtown Kluang, Johor. It starts at the intersection with Jalan Sultanah, across from Jalan Haji Manan, and ends at the T-junction with Jalan Mersing, which is Federal Route 50. In between, it is intersected by Jalan Merdeka, and forms junction with Persiaran Yayasan and Jalan Sultan.

Information about Dato' Kapten Ahmad is sketchy and incomplete. Based on information I have been able to glean from the web¹, he was born on 7 March 1888 and he passed away on 27 November 1956, and was buried at the Kluang Muslim Cemetery across from Econsave Kluang. Even from the roadside, you might be able to see this grave, as it is the most prominent one in the cemetery, and one that is surrounded by a yellow balustrade.
