Jalan Perajurit is a prominent local road in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. It runs east–west, linking Lebuh Bandar Baru Tambun on its eastern end to Jalan Jelapang–Ampang in the west. The road serves as one of the main thoroughfares of the Bandar Baru Tambun area, connecting several residential and commercial precincts. 1
Jalan Perajurit begins at its eastern intersection with Lebuh Bandar Baru Tambun and runs westward until it meets Jalan Jelapang–Ampang, forming a vital link between Tambun’s urban core and western Ipoh. The road is dual-laned for much of its stretch, designed to handle a steady flow of cars, buses, and light commercial vehicles. It serves as a key connector for residents of Taman Ipoh Timur, Taman Perajurit, and the Bandar Baru Tambun development. 2
Jalan Perajurit is flanked by diverse developments including housing estates, eateries, small offices, and automotive shops. The area around it has grown rapidly, thanks to its convenient access to both Jalan Tambun and Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah. Popular eateries and local cafés make it a lively place, especially during weekends. Several schools and mosques are also located nearby, adding to its role as a community hub. 3
The name “Perajurit” means “soldier” in Malay — a nod to Malaysia’s tradition of naming streets after values or professions tied to national pride. A fun fact is that the nearby Taman Perajurit neighbourhood derives its name from this very road. Over time, Jalan Perajurit has become one of the most recognised routes in the Tambun–Ipoh Timur area for its cluster of local shops and dining spots. 4
Motorists can enter Jalan Perajurit from either the east via Lebuh Bandar Baru Tambun or the west via Jalan Jelapang–Ampang. The road offers convenient access to housing estates, schools, and commercial centres. While traffic can get heavy during morning and evening rush hours, the well-maintained road surface and clear signage make it easy to navigate. Parking is available near shoplots along most sections. 5
