Jalan Leong Sin Nam, Ipoh

Jalan 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 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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
