Jalan Panggung, Kuala Lumpur (8 July, 2016)


Jalan Panggung is a minor road in Kuala Lumpur. It connects Jalan Sultan to Jalan Balai Polis. The road on the southern part of Chinatown is one of the oldest streets in the city, having been around since the 19th century, when it was originally called Theatre Street. It was named after a Chinese theatre that was built by wealthy merchant Cheow Ah Yeok, who was a close associate of Kapitan Cina Yap Ah Loy.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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