Jalan Travers is a major road in Brickfields, and now in new central business district of KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur. It originally linked Jalan Damansara to Jalan Tun Sambanthan, but since January 2015, it ends at the junction with Jalan Bangsar. The stretch between Jalan Bangsar and Jalan Tun Sambanthan has been renamed Jalan Rakyat, following the request of Bank Rakyat, which has its headquarters on that road.
Originally known as Travers Road, Jalan Travers was named after Dr Ernest Aston Otho Travers1, a doctor who worked among those who were stricken with leprosy at the leper colony in Setapak. Today Jalan Travers is one of three roads named after him, the other two being Lorong Travers and Jalan Bukit Travers.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
