Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin, Kuala Lumpur (12 July, 2016)


Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin is a street in the inner city of Kuala Lumpur. It was originally known during the British colonial times as Cross Street. In 2003 it was renamed in honour of Tun Tan Siew Sin, the first Minister of Commerce and Industry of Malaya, and then for the subsequent 15 years (1959-1974), the Finance Minister. Tun Tan Siew Sin also served as the third president of the Malayan Chinese Association, or MCA, a political party that forms the ruling alliance in the Federal Government.

Jalan Tun Tun Siew Sin starts from the intersection with Medan Pasar, Jalan Benteng and Lebuh Ampang. It ends at the intersection with Jalan Pudu and Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, which incidentally, was named in honour of his father. In between it intersects with Jalan Yap Ah Loy, Jalan Hang Lekiu, Lebuh Pudu and Lorong Pudu.

About this website

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.
