Jalan Hang Kasturi, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Hang Kasturi, Kuala Lumpur (6 July, 2016)


Jalan Hang Kasturi is a street in downtown Kuala Lumpur. It runs roughly north-south through the Kuala Lumpur's Petaling Street Chinatown. The stretch between Lebuh Pudu and Jalan Tun Sambanthan is today a pedestrian zone called Kasturi Walk.

Jalan Hang Kasturi was originally called Rodger Street¹, after Sir John Pickersgill Rodger, the British Resident of Selangor from 1884 to 1888 and again from 1896 to 1901. In between, he was transferred to be the British Resident of Pahang. The road translated to Jalan Rodger and then to Jalan Hang Kasturi in 1982, in honour of the legendary warrior that was featured in Hikayat Hang Tuah and the Malay Annals (Sejarah Melayu).
