Jalan Thambipillay, Kuala Lumpur(Google Street View - Mar 2024)
Jalan Thambipillay is a minor road in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. It runs in parallel to Jalan Tun Sambanthan and Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad. A section of road that was formerly Jalan Berhala is now also considered Jalan Thambipillay.
Jalan Thampillay is presently a one-way street. It starts at a junction on Jalan Tun Sambanthan 4, and ends at Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad.
According to Kuala Lumpur Street Names1, Jalan Thambipillay was named after a Ceylonese Tamil by the name of C. Thambapillai, who arrived in Malaya as part of the British administration in 1888. He assumed a clerical position as court interpreter, and was instrumental in the founding of the Sri Kandasamy Kovil on Jalan Scott. The road was originally registered as Jalan Thambapillai but was somehow respelled as Thambipillay on an unknown date.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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