Go BackAccording to Kuala Lumpur Street Names, Jalan Gombak got its name from Sungai Gombak. In has been around, as Gombak Road, since the 18901, when it ran the distance from Skew Bridge to Gombak Bridge. By 1895, the stretch of Gombak Road, which is in front of present-day Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad, was already erased from maps. It later became part of Jalan Raja.
Mariana Isa, the author of Kuala Lumpur Street Names, told me that Gombak Road ended at the bridge at Sungai Gombak, where it meets Batu Road (present-day Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman). The Jalan Gombak in Genting Sempah is a different road all together, but both were associated with Sungai Gombak.

About this website
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.
