Jalan Kuching, Kuala Lumpur (May 2024)
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.
