Jalan Perdana, Kuala Lumpur

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

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
