Jalan Alor, one of KL city’s top tourist spots, will be closed to traffic at night. The signs by DBKL are up, and they show that the closure for vehicles is from 6pm to 3am, daily. The ruling starts tomorrow, July 1.
This means that the bustling food street will be a pedestrian mall every night, which is a good move. As it stands, there’s a narrow single lane left for cars at night as the F&B customers dine al fresco on the street, and there are also people strolling down the road, and crossing. Much safer for all without vehicular traffic.
Also, there’s ‘no rugi’ for vehicles. Coming from the one-way Changkat stretch, one can just proceed to Jalan Bukit Bintang to exit the area. E-hailing cars dropping off customers can do so at the top of Jalan Alor – let the customers walk down the road and take in the atmosphere.

Just closed that road.
In the past 30yrs, I would take the bus from S’ban to Pudu Raya, eat thosai at SriGanesa, walk past Karpal Singh office, turn left, walk to Alor stretch to attend the Baptist Ch on Sun; or walk to Pavilion, then proceed to KLCC via the pedestrian walkway. This is the best way to get the exercise & observe the happenings. There’s a free bus fr Pasar Seni >Lot10 >Pav/Klcc.
Never once had I eaten at a Alor stall. Oh man, the prices r so very fooking high (fr 6pm)! It only lure & trap tourists & expats. Me a thosai, nasi kandar guy.
And sooo sooo dirty those stalls and restaurants on the road.. I dont know how people eat there honestly…
30 years? KLCC? Has KLCC been around that long already?
Change name to Jalan Maksiat
