Jalan Haji Taib is a minor road in the Chow Kit area of Kuala Lumpur. It runs from Jalan Raja Laut in the west to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in the east. It is intersected by a number of lanes all named after Haji Taib.

The namesake of Jalan Haji Taib, one Haji Mohamad Taib bin Haji Abdul Samad1, was a 19th century Malay merchant who moved to Kuala Lumpur from Batu Sangkar in Sumatra, and established his businesses here. His properties include vast areas in the Chow Kit neighbourhood, which explains how his name was immortalized on the roads here.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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!
