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

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.
