Jalan Tun Perak
Jalan Tun Perak was named after
the famous bendahara or prime minister of the Malacca Sultanate. He served
under four sultans. This street was originally called Java Street, possibly
due to the large community of Javanese living here.
It was later turned into
a main road and renamed Mountbatten Road, in honour of Louis Mountbatten.
As Jalan Tun Perak is almost parallel to
Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin (Jalan
Silang), the roads that cut across the latter also criss-cross with Jalan
Tun Perak. Today, Jalan Tun Perak traffic
jams are still, there is a
Light Rapid Transit (LRT) track running atop it.
Menara Maybank (Head
Office) is the most significant iconic landmark along this road.
