Jalan Dato Sagor was formerly known as Post Office Road, after the General Post Office, which has since relocated. The road was renamed after 19th century Perak chieftain of Bugis descent, Dato' Sagor Ngah Kamdin, who was in collusion with Dato' Maharaja Lela in the murder of JWW Birch, and was sentenced to death by hanging on 20 January, 1877.1
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.
