Jalan Yap Ah Loy, Kuala Lumpur


Jalan Yap Ah Loy is a short street in the inner city of Kuala Lumpur. It runs from the intersection with Jalan Tun HS Lee, across from Jalan Pasar Besar, to the intersection with Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin, across from Jalan Hang Lekiu.

Jalan Yap Ah Loy was named in honour of the Chinese headman, the third Kapitan Cina of Kuala Lumpur, who was credited with placing the city on a firm footing to become the most successful urban area in the country. His house in the late 19th century is said to be located at nearby Jalan Pasar Besar, facing the Market Square.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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