Jalan Cochrane, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Cochrane, Kuala Lumpur (8 July, 2016)


Jalan Cochrane is one of the major roads in Kuala Lumpur. It runs in a roughly east-west direction, beginning at the interchange with Jalan Yew, from where it continues west as Jalan Pasar. On the eastern side, Jalan Cochrane ends at the junction with Jalan Permaisuri, where it continues as Jalan Mahkota in the Taman Maluri neighbourhood of Kuala Lumpur.

As of 2013 to 2015, Jalan Cochrane was largely a massive construction site as the former structures on both sides of the road make way for new development. This includes two large shopping centres, a large condominium complex and an underground MRT station.

Jalan Cochrane, originally known as Cochrane Road, was named after the British General Advisor of Johor, Charles Walter Hamilton Cochrane, who also served as a Resident of Perak from 1929 to 1930. Traditionally, much of Jalan Cochrane was occupied by government quarters within Kampung Pandan. Since 2013, the surrounding neighbourhood is undergoing a major facelift with the arrival of the Cochrane MRT Station and IKEA Cheras, the second outlet of the famous Swedish furniture store in Malaysia.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
