Jalan Munshi Abdullah, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Munshi Abdullah (15 June, 2017)


Jalan Munshi Abdullah is a road in downtown Kuala Lumpur. It is a one-way street running from south to north, beginning at its junction with Jalan Ampang, and ending at its junction with Jalan Dang Wangi. Along its route it forms junctions with minor roads such as Jalan Bunus, Lorong Bunus 3, Lorong Bunus 6 and Persiaran Capsquare. Much of the land on the east side of Jalan Munshi Abdullah was developed since the 1990s into an urban redevelopment called Capital Square.

Jalan Munshi Abdullah was named after the Malacca-born scribe, Abdullah bin Abdul Kader 1797-1854). With his fluency in Malay and English, he found employment with Stamford Raffles, for whom he worked as scribe and copywriter. Munshi Abdullah is best recognized for his role in uplifting the image of Malay literature. It was he who documented the events around the demolition of the Malacca Fort by the British, during the interim when the Dutch had to vacate the town.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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