Leboh Pasar Besar, Kuala Lumpur (18 December, 2009)
Leboh Pasar Besar, or simply Lebuh Pasar on some maps, is a minor road in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Originally known as Market Street, it is one of the oldest streets in the city. When the rest of Kuala Lumpur was still very much forested, this area was the hive of activity. The Kapitan Cina Yap Ah Loy lived here. His house, which no longer extant, was at the junction of Market Street and Rodger Street (present-day Jalan Hang Kasturi).
Bordering the northern side of Leboh Pasar Besar today is Medan Pasar, or Market Square, which its historic clock tower.
