Jalan Abdullah Ariff

Jalan Abdullah Ariff, Ayer Itam (11 October 2020)


Jalan Abdullah Ariff is a minor road in Air Itam. It began as a country lane that was upgraded into a proper road when the land on its either sides were developed. As development in this area is patchy, Jalan Abdullah Ariff is not continuous, but is fragmented into at least three sections.

The westernmost section of Jalan Abdullah Ariff connects with Boundary Road. The middle portion connects with Jalan Air Itam through Persiaran Abdullah Ariff. The easternmost section of Jalan Abdullah Ariff ends somewhere behind Rifle Court Apartment. The road is roughly parallel to Air Itam Main Road for much of the way.

Jalan Abdullah Ariff is believed (though I could be wrong) to have been named in honour of artist Abdullah Ariff (1904-1962), who was one of the pioneer watercolourist in the country. He once taught at the Anglo-Chinese School (now known as the Methodist Boys' School).
