Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur (8 July, 2016)


Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman is one of the major roads in Kuala Lumpur. It is today a one-way street with traffic moving from north to south, beginning at the intersection with Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Jalan Pahang and Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz, and ends at the intersection with Jalan Tun Perak. Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman is a major shopping street in Kuala Lumpur, catering to a lower middle class market.

Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman was originally known as Batu Road. Batu Road was named after the village of Kampung Batu, which in turn was named after the rivers flowing through the area, collectively called Sungai Batu. Interestingly, the limestone caves in the vicinity are called Batu Caves, after Batu area. Batu Road was renamed Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in honour of the first Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhammad. It was the main road leading to Kampung Batu, one of the early mining villages to the north of Kuala Lumpur.

From a swampy beginning, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman slowly evolved to become a major working-class shopping street by the mid 20th century. The major roads intersecting Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman are Jalan Chow Kit, Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Dang Wangi.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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