Jalan Tun Ismail, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Tun Ismail is a winding hill road in Kuala Lumpur. While the northern end of the road is largely developed, the road crosses through large areas to hillside that have not been developed. The northernmost section of Jalan Tun Ismail runs parallel to Jalan Tun Razak - the central lane of the thoroughfare is Jalan Tun Razak, which connects with Lebuhraya Sultan Iskandar, while the side lanes are Jalan Tun Ismail, all the way till Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah interchange. Therefore buildings in that area, such as Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Maxwell and Balai Bomba & Penyelamat Sentul have Jalan Tun Ismail on their addresses.

Roads forming junctions with Jalan Tun Ismail include Jalan 1/64, Jalan Rahmat, Jalan Putra, Lorong Tun Ismail, Jalan Sultan Salahuddin, Perkarangan Tun Ismail and Pesiaran Tun Ismail.

Jalan Tun Ismail was originally called Maxwell Road.¹ It was originally named after Sir William Edward Maxwell, who was the British Resident of Selangor from 1889 to 1892 and Acting Governor of the Straits Settlements from 1893 to 1894. Maxwell Road in Penang and Maxwell Road in Singapore were likewise named after him.

Maxwell Road was renamed after the late Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman, the Deputy Prime Minister under the administration of Tun Abdul Razak. He passed away on 2 August 1973 from a heart attack while in office, and was buried at the Warriors' Mausoleum at Masjid Negara.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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