Jalan Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Sungai Besi, Kuala LumpurThe start of Jalan Sungai Besi, at its junction with Jalan Pudu and Jalan Pasar (8 July, 2016)


Jalan Sungai Besi is one of the major roads in Kuala Lumpur. What began as a laterite path to the tin mines has today developed into a major urban thoroughfare. It was originally called Sungei Besi Road.

In its present incarnation, Jalan Sungai Besi starts at Pudu, at the intersection with Jalan Pudu, beyond which lies Jalan Pasar. It meets Jalan Yew and Jalan Loke Yew at a multi-tier interchange.

In the ever changing cityscape of Kuala Lumpur, parts of Jalan Sungai Besi has been widened, lengthened and transformed, that it is often difficult to trace the original road. At the junction with Jalan Istana, there is a link of the Sungai Besi Expressway. Jalan Sungai Besi continues bearing south from there, to eventually end at the Sungai Besi Toll Plaza, the starting point of the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway.

Among the roads that meet Jalan Sungai Besi include Jalan San Peng, Jalan Kalong, Jalan Foss, Jalan Gelang, Lorong Loke Yew, Jalan Satu and Jalan Dua. Sights and buildings along the way include Wisma SCA, Wisma Naza, Champion Club, Wisma Mahamewah, Wisma Yeoh Tiong Tee, Phoenix Hotel, Southgate Commercial Centre, Wisma Mah Sing, Volvo Showroom, Proton Service Centre and the Sungai Besi Air Base, housing the Royal Malaysian Air Force Museum.

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.
