Jalan Sultan, Kuala Lumpur (6 July, 2016)
Jalan Sultan is a street in the inner city of Kuala Lumpur. It forms the shape of the letter "J", with the north end connected to Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, where it continues as Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin; and the west end continues as Jalan Sultan Mohamed. That cornering is the Pasar Seni Bus Terminal. Just before the terminal, Jalan Sultan curves to the north to become Jalan Hang Kasturi.
Jalan Sultan was originally Sultan Street. It was named in honour of Sultan Abdul Samad (1804-1898)1. This came about because Sultan Abdul Samad once had a palace nearby. Around the 1880s, the British colonial government tried to get the sultan to move to Klang, as the British Resident of Selangor was residing there. But Sultan Abdul Samad preferred his palace in Jugra, so he dragged his feet over the matter, and the palace in Klang did not get built during his reign. It was only after his demise that the subsequent sultan moved to Klang.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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