Jalan Kampung Attap is a road near the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. Its name means "Thatch Village Road", a testament to a past when the area was a rural village. The road has been around since the late 19th century. It was given the name Kampong Attap Road on 20 February, 18961 and when it was translated into Malay, managed to somehow retain the spelling "attap" instead of the Malay "atap" (though "kampong" became "kampung).

Jalan Kampung Attap once led to the slaughterhouse by the banks of the Klang River. This has long been demolished. Moreover, there is no kampong on Jalan Kampung Attap today either, as it is lined with high rise buildings instead. The road runs parallel to Jalan Sultan Sulaiman for much of its route.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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