Jalan Rakyat was only named in January 20151. Before that, it was also part of Jalan Travers. The name was proposed by Bank Rakyat, which has its headquarters on the road. The name change was received negatively by Brickfields community leaders with many expressing surprise that the move was carried out without consultation with the community.2
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.
