Jalan Tanglin is a minor road in Kuala Lumpur. It is located in a leafy, hilly part of the city. Jalan Tanglin connects Jalan Cenderawasih on one end to Jalan Lembah, at the intersection with Jalan Tembusu and Jalan Cenderasari, on the other.
Originally known as Tanglin Road, Jalan Tanglin was named after Tanglin Hospital which is on Hospital Road, now known as Jalan Cenderasari. Tanglin Hospital was originally known as the General Hospital, despite its modest size. However, when the General Hospital was relocated to become the present Hospital Kuala Lumpur, to replace the Pauper Hospital there, the one at Hospital Road was renamed Tanglin Hospital, and it is still there today.
Perhaps the most prominent landmark on Jalan Tanglin is
There is also a Tanglin Road in Singapore, but as of now, I have not yet ascertain if there is a connection between the two.
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.
