Book excerpt: "This book documents people, places and stories of the Padungan area in Kuching, capital city of Sarawak, Malaysia, from the 19th century to the present day. Padungan area refers to not just Jalan Padungan, but also adjacent areas like Jalan Bukit Mata, Ban Hock, Abell, Ang Cheng Ho, Petanak, Blacksmith, Kampong Lumba Kuda, and so on. Padungan has played a prominent part in the modern history of Kuching and has cultural, social and heritage significance, although it is less studied compared to "Old Kuching" areas around the Main Bazaar. In a fast-changing urban environment, it is vital to put on record what the place was like in the past, how the people in the area lived, worked or entertained themselves, significant historical events that shaped the landscape, and the cultural heritage that has been passed down."--Back cover.

Download or read book Kuala Lumpur Street Names A Guide to Their Meanings and Histories written by Mariana Isa and published by Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street names are a many-layered thing – crystallising various eras of history and celebrating multiple generations of people. As the federal capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur’s street names reflect its rich mix of cultures and its journey from colonial past to nationhood. This encyclopedic A-to-Z guide explains the meanings and origins of KL’s street names – those named after notable persons, after prominent landmarks, after local flora and fauna, etc. Themed street names within a particular area are also identified, e.g. the cluster of streets in Taman Sri Bahtera named after traditional Malay boats. Of particular interest is the renaming of streets over the years, ranging from literal translations (e.g. “Church Road” becoming “Jalan Gereja”), to completely new names (“Parry Road” to “Jalan P Ramlee”). Drawing on extensive research into the National Archives, the authors present their wealth of findings in a concise and easy-to-read way that will engage readers of all levels.
