Jalan Raja Ashman Shah is a major road on the northern part of Ipoh, Perak. It runs from the Jalan Raja Musa Aziz roundabout to Bulatan Sultan Abdul Aziz, where it meets Jalan Raja Dihilir and Jalan Towers. In between, it forms junctions with Jalan Kamaruddin Isa, Jalan Greentown, Jalan Dato Seri Ahmad Said, Jalan Ghazali Jawi, Jalan Chin Choon Sam, Jalan Stadium Perak and Jalan Lee Kwee Foh.
Jalan Raja Ashman Shah was originally known as Ashby Road. It was named after the first Secretary of the Kinta Sanitary Board, William John Bernard Ashby. The road was later renamed Jalan Hospital named after the Ipoh Hospital, also called Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, which borders the road on its western end. Then in 2012, it was renamed in memory of the former Raja Kechil Sulong of Perak, Raja Ashman Shah (1958-2012), who passed away that year.
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.
