Jalan Bellamy is a hill road in Bukit Petaling, Kuala Lumpur. The road cuts through an area that was formerly plantation land. The area dates back to the 19th century, when was a plantation belonging to Kapitan Cina Yap Ah Loy. Since then, the land in the area belongs to the government, and is home to various government institutions.
Originally called Bellamy Road, Jalan Bellamy was named after Captain Henry Franklin Bellamy1, who was Deputy State Engineer of the Selangor State Government, from 1892 to 1904. Bellamy is credited to have established the Kuala Lumpur Fire Brigade, which was often nicknamed Bellamy's Brigade.
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.
