Jalan Hang Jebat, Kuala LumpurJalan Hang Jebat, Kuala Lumpur (12 July 2017)


Jalan Hang Jebat is a street in downtown Kuala Lumpur. It runs from Jalan Sultan in the west to Jalan Hang Tuah in the east. In between, it forms junctions with Lorong Hang Jebat and Jalan Wesley on the north side, and with Jalan Stadium and Jalan Kenanga on the south side.

Jalan Hang Jebat was originally known as Davidson Road. It was named after James Guthrie Davidson1, who served as the first British Resident of Perak in 1875, and as British Resident of Perak from 11 April 1876 to 31 March 18772, following the assassination of J.W.W. Birch. He is probably1,3 the nephew of Alexander Guthrie, the founder of Guthrie & Co., a Malayan plantation company that is today part of Sime Darby. Failing health forced him to resign from his post as Resident of Perak, after which he set up the legal firm of Rodyk and Davidson in Singapore.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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