Leboh Pasar Besar, Kuala Lumpur (18 December, 2009)
Leboh Pasar Besar, or simply Lebuh Pasar on some maps, is a minor road in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Originally known as Market Street, it is one of the oldest streets in the city. When the rest of Kuala Lumpur was still very much forested, this area was the hive of activity. The Kapitan Cina Yap Ah Loy lived here. His house, which no longer extant, was at the junction of Market Street and Rodger Street (present-day Jalan Hang Kasturi).
Bordering the northern side of Leboh Pasar Besar today is Medan Pasar, or Market Square, which its historic clock tower.
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.
