Jalan Saloma, Kuala Lumpur (14 June, 2017)


Jalan Saloma is a minor road in downtown Kuala Lumpur. It connects to Jalan Ampang, across the road from Jalan P. Ramlee. It ends at the Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery.

Jalan Saloma is most likely named after the late Puan Sri Datin Amar Salmah binti Ismail, wife of the legendary entertainer P. Ramlee. Going by the stage name of Saloma, she was awarded the title of Biduanita Pertama Negara, or First National Songstress, in 1978. She passed away at the age of 48 on 25 April, 1983, and the posthumously awarded the title of Puan Sri in 1990, when her late husband was posthumously awarded the Darjah Yang Mulia Setia Mahkota Malaysia, which carries the title of Tan Sri.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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