Jalan Perdana, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Perdana is a minor road in a leafy part of downtown Kuala Lumpur. This is the road that leads to the Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, or as it is known today, the Perdana Botanical Gardens. The road was originally named Venning Road, after Alfred Reid Venning, the botanist and plant collector who was instrumental in the design and landscaping of the Lake Gardens. Venning was the State Treasurer in the Selangor government.

Venning Road was renamed Jalan Perdana in honour of Malaysia's second prime minister, the late Tun Abdul Razak, who had his residence on that road. The residence has been preserved as the Tun Abdul Razak Memorial.

About this website

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.
