Jalan Kuching is a major road in Kuala Lumpur. It is part of Federal Route 1, the old trunk road that connects major towns along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. In Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Kuching continues from Jalan Kinabalu in the south, to reach the Kepong Roundabout, where the road continues as Jalan Ipoh (at time of writing, May 2018, Google Maps got the stretch of Jalan Ipoh wrongly labelled as Jalan Kuching).
As with Jalan Kinabalu, Jalan Kuching was named after a state capital. The name of Jalan Kuching (and Jalan Kinabalu) was a means of a symbolic welcome to the two East Malaysia states into the federation.
Jalan Kuching starts at Bulatan Parlimen. It ends at the interchange with Persiaran 1 in Selayang. On this page, I shall document its entire route, and call out all the sights along the way.
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.
