Jalan Tun Sambanthan, IpohJalan Tun Sambanthan, Ipoh (3 May, 2016)


Jalan Tun Sambanthan is a minor road in downtown Ipoh. It faces the Ipoh Padang. The road was a favoured address among the doctors, lawyers and accountants whose their offices face the open field. Jalan Tun Sambanthan was originally called Hale Street, after A. Hale, the Collector of Land Revenue of Ipoh before being renamed after Tun V. T, Sambanthan (1919-1979), who was the President of the Malayan Indian Congress (MIC) between 1955 and 1973, and was regarded as one of the Founding Fathers of independent Malaysia.

In addition to Jalan Tun Sambanthan in Ipoh, there is also a Jalan Tun Sambanthan in 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.
