Jalan Hang Kasturi, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Hang Kasturi, Kuala Lumpur (6 July, 2016)


Jalan Hang Kasturi is a street in downtown Kuala Lumpur. It runs roughly north-south through the Kuala Lumpur's Petaling Street Chinatown. The stretch between Lebuh Pudu and Jalan Tun Sambanthan is today a pedestrian zone called Kasturi Walk.

Jalan Hang Kasturi was originally called Rodger Street¹, after Sir John Pickersgill Rodger, the British Resident of Selangor from 1884 to 1888 and again from 1896 to 1901. In between, he was transferred to be the British Resident of Pahang. The road translated to Jalan Rodger and then to Jalan Hang Kasturi in 1982, in honour of the legendary warrior that was featured in Hikayat Hang Tuah and the Malay Annals (Sejarah Melayu).

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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