Jalan Foo Choo Choon is a minor road in downtown Ipoh, Perak. It is a one-way street that connects Jalan Datuk Onn Jaafar to Jalan Laxamana. The road was named in honour of Hakka tin miner Foo Choo Choon, who was one of the richest Chinese in the world.
Among the philanthrophic works involving Foo Choo Choon was in defraying the cost for the construction of the Anglo-Chinese School, Ipoh, in 1904. He also donated the Primary Hall as a gift to the school.
Foo Choo Choon was made the president of the Penang Chinese Town Hall in 1906, and the Perak Chinese Chamber of Commerce in 1913. He was also appointed to the Perak State Council and Perak Chinese Advisory Board.
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.
