History

The original Chinese Town was centred on Market Square. As the population grew, expansion was constrained by swamps, hills and the river. High Street, now known as Jalan Tun HS Lee, became increasingly popular, as it was higher than the rest of the town and therefore less prone to floods. The original Chinese Town was centred on Market Square. As the population grew, expansion was constrained by swamps, hills and the river. High Street, now known as Jalan Tun HS Lee, became increasingly popular, as it was higher than the rest of the town and therefore less prone to floods. Kuala Lumpur was a typical “pioneer” town at the turn of the century, filled with a rough and tough population that was largely male. For entertainment, there was Chinese wayang (opera) or bangsawan (Malay theatre). The Chinese leaders provided for the community through associations, benevolent societies, temples and foundations. The wealthier and more ornate shop houses were built north of Jalan Cheng Lock, closer to the business centre.

Bargaining here is an absolute must. Bargain hard! It’s the ideal place to test your bargaining skills. Even in daytime you have great bargains. Petaling Street is not open for traffic. It is a great place for locals to get some goods at bargain prices and certainly an eye-opening experience for tourists. So, be prepared to haggle and be good at it!
