Jalan Leong Sin Nam, Ipoh

Jalan Leong Sin Nam, IpohJalan Leong Sin Nam, Ipoh (18 June 2011)


Jalan Leong Sin Nam is a street in downtown Ipoh, Perak. It connects Jalan Raja Musa Aziz in the west with Persiaran Persiaran Greenhill in the east. In between, it branches off to Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar, and forms an intersection with Jalan Raja Ekram.

Originally called Leong Sin Nam Street, the namesake Leong Sin Nam (1880-1940) was born in Guangdong Province, China, during a time of great misery brought on by the upheavals of the Taiping Rebellion, which was the work of largely Hakka followers of a Christian-inspired cult. The family left Guangdong Province when he was 3 years old to settle in Penang. From Penang, Leong relocated to Perak, to work as a coolie in the tin mines. From there, he worked his way upwards to become a wealthy tin miner.

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.
