Jalan Raja Abdullah, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Raja Abdullah, Kuala LumpurJalan Raja Abdullah, Kuala Lumpur (14 June, 2017)


Jalan Raja Abdullah is one of the main roads through the Kampung Baru neighbourhood of Kuala Lumpur. It runs roughly north-south, beginning in the north at the intersection of Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz, from where it continues as Jalan Dr Latif, and ends in the south at the junction with Jalan Dang Wangi, roughly across from the junction of Persiaran Capsquare.

Jalan Raja Abdullah was originally known as Hale Road, after Abraham Hale (1854-1919)2, who was the Collector of Land Revenue for Kuala Lumpur and Registrar of Titles for Selangor. Hale was credited with the creation of Kampung Baru, and that was how the road leading into the village was named after him. Abraham Hale also had Hale Street in Ipoh (today known as Jalan Sambanthan) named after him.

The present namesake of Jalan Raja Abdullah is Raja Abdullah bin Raja Jaafar1. Together with his brother Raja Jumaat, Raja Abdullah was instrumental in the opening of tin mines in the Klang Valley, particularly in Ampang. It was Raja Abdullah who brought the 87 Chinese tin miners from Lukut to the area that became known as Ampang, laying the foundation for the establishment of Kuala Lumpur.

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.
