Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur (7 July, 2016)


Jalan Pudu is a major road in Kuala Lumpur. It runs diagonally from the southeast to the heart of Kuala Lumpur in the northwest direction. Jalan Pudu is named after the Pudu (also written during colonial times as Pudoh) district of Kuala Lumpur. The road is so named because it leads to Pudu.

Start and end of Jalan Pudu

Jalan Pudu runs roughly east-west. On the west side, Jalan Pudu starts at the Kuala Lumpur Chinatown, at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. To be honest, I am a bit lost over where exactly does Jalan Pudu start. This is probably because of the constant redevelopment of the area, that the original buildings have long been torn down. Properties such as the Ancasa Hotel, which I thought is on Jalan Pudu, has its address on Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. Even Puduraya, now called Pudu Sentral and UTC Kuala Lumpur, are all addressed to Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. In fact, the "first" property I found to be on Jalan Pudu is Hotel Mayview Glory, which is to the east of the Jalan Tun Perak junction, yet it is already 100 & 101 Jalan Pudu (and its immediate neighbour is Menara Maybank, which is at 100 Jalan Tun Perak). Probably all properties lower than lot 100 has been demolished.

The present eastern end of Jalan Pudu is at the interchange with Jalan Tun Razak, after which the road continues as Jalan Cheras. The last property with a Jalan Pudu address is Ta Hotel, at 594 Jalan Pudu.

Exploring Jalan Pudu from east to west

Heading from east to west, we start at the interchange with Jalan Tun Razak. The Pudu Police Station is on the southwest side of Jalan Pudu. Between the Jalan Yew Interchange and the intersection with Jalan Besi and Jalan Pasar, you pass by the City Medical Centre followed by the Pudu Fire Brigade on your left, and the Pudu Post Office on your right.

After the Jalan Yew intersection, Jalan Pudu continues along a stretch of commercial buildings and homes until the approach to the intersection with Jalan Hang Tuah to the left and Jalan Imbi to the right. Pudu Jail is located on the left side of the road just before the intersection. The Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, which is the central business district of the city, is located on the Jalan Imbi side.

Beyond the Hang Tuah / Imbi intersection, you will see the Kuala Lumpur Police Headquarters on your left. You pass the western end of Jalan Bukit Bintang, characterised by budget hotels. Continuing along Jalan Pudu, you see Prince Court Medical Centre on your right followed by Swiss Garden Hotel on your left. Following that, there's the Chinese Maternity Hospital and Tung Shin Hospital on your right of Jalan Pudu, opposite the junction with Jalan Robertson.

Beyond Jalan Robertson is the now-abandoned Plaza Rakyat project, on the left side of Jalan Pudu. Immediately after that is the famous Puduraya bus terminal (at time of writing, June, 2010, under renovation). That takes us to the northwestern end of Jalan Pudu, where it connects with Jalan Tun Perak to the northwest and Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock to the west.

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.
