Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Masjid India, Kuala LumpurJalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur (8 February, 2006)


Jalan Masjid India is a commercial street in downtown Kuala Lumpur. It runs from Jalan Melayu in the south to Jalan Bunus 6 in the north. In its present form, the stretch from Jalan Melayu to the junction of Lorong Masjid India, in front of its namesake Masjid India, is pedestrianised with a sheltered canopy. The rest of the road is a busy commercial area with mostly businesses operated by the Indian and Indian Muslim communities.

The sheltered canopy was erected in 2014 at a cost of RM10 million. Although it provides shelter to pedestrians and shoppers, it is not universally welcomed. Shoplot owners in the area have complained of their businesses being affected by traders blocking their storefront.

According to Kuala Lumpur Street Names, Jalan Masjid India was previous called Jalan Tun Tijah, after Tun Teja Menggala from Hikayat Hang Tuah, and before that, it was originally named Dickson Street, after Sir John Frederick Dickson, who is also the namesake for Port Dickson.

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.
