Kepong (GPS: 3.20379, 101.64137) is a town in the northern part of Kuala Lumpur and in fact straddles the border between Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. To its west is Bukit Lanjan, to its south is Jalan Duta, to its east is Selayang and to its north is Sungai Buloh.

Kepong, which means to siege1 or surround in Malay, was the name of a mining settlement in the late 19th century. When the mines were exhausted, the area became a rubber plantation. Today it is a northern outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. As with many towns in Selangor, it straddles the border of Kuala Lumpur when the Federal Territory was created.

The main road through Kepong is Jalan Kepong, which runs from the Jalan Ipoh roundabout to the Middle Ring Road 2. The road crosses the KL-Selangor border near Sungai Keroh.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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