Taman Tun Dr. Ismail,
Kuala Lumpur
Taman Tun Dr. Ismail is an affluent major township in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. Situated on the border of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, it is
within the vicinity of Bandar Utama, Damansara Utama, Mutiara
Damansara and other suburbs of Petaling Jaya. It is also
neighbouring Bukit Kiara and Sri Hartamas as well as within easy
access to Bangsar and Damansara Heights. This township is in the
Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)
as its local authority. It is an upper middle class residential area
with some commercial development.
The township was named after Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's
first ambassador to the United States and a Malaysian representative
to the United Nations, before becoming Malaysia's Deputy Prime
Minister in 1970. The commonly used appellation for Taman Tun Dr.
Ismail is "Taman Tun" or "TTDI". "Taman" means "park" in the Malay
language while "Tun" is the most senior federal title awarded by the
Yang di-Pertuan Agong to the most deserving figure who has highly
contributed to the nation.
Taman
Tun Dr. Ismail was originally a 286-hectare piece of old rubber
estate land located on the western fringe of Kuala Lumpur bordering
with the state of Selangor. Development plans for Taman Tun Dr.
Ismail began in 1973 when two experienced developers teamed up to
form UDA-Seapark Sdn Bhd, a joint venture company between the Urban
Development Authority (UDA), the Government's arm for urban planning
and redevelopment and SEA Housing Corp. Sdn Bhd., a prominent
private development company headed by the well known philanthropist,
the late Tan Sri Lee Yan Lian. SEA Housing owns the township at that
time.
The
area at that time was considered rural and thought of as being too
far from the metropolitan due to the fact that the condition of the
access via Jalan Damansara was narrow and winding and also unlighted
at night. UDA saw the potential in the area joined with forces and
expertise of the two giants. The new township was launched and named
after the late Tun Dr. Ismail who was an outstanding statesman.
