Jalan Raja Alang, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Raja Alang, Kuala Lumpur (15 June, 2017)


Jalan Raja Alang is a road in Kuala Lumpur. It runs from Kampung Baru in the east to Chow Kit in the west. On the western side, it starts at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, while on the east side, it ends at jalan Raja Muda Musa. According to Kuala Lumpur Street Names¹, the road was named after a Mandailing aristocrat, Raja Alang bin Raja Berayun, who moved to Kuala Lumpur from Sumatra.

Jalan Raja Alang was originally called Perkins Road, after the Deputy Surveyor-General of the Federated Malay States and Straits Settlements, C.J. Perkins. In 1968, the son of Raja Alang, Datuk Raja Mohamed, was given the honour of having Perkins Road renamed after him, in appreciation of his contribution to Malaya's independence. However, he declined the honour and instead had the road renamed after his father.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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