Jalan Tangsi is a minor road in Kuala Lumpur. It connects Jalan Kinabalu to Jalan Parlimen. The road is lined on one side with pre-war building in the British Regency style which at time of writing (Dec 2015), is still undergoing restoration. These buildings were constructed by tin magnate Loke Chow Kit, of which his mansion, Loke Hall, is now undergoing restoration as 10 Tangsi. Across the road is the Bank Rakyat head office.
The name tangsi means barrack, for originally the road was called Barrack Road, after the police barracks that used to be located here.1

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.
