Tras Street

The street is named after Tras, a small town near Raub, Pahang, Malaya.

[1] Tras Street today is lined with many shophouses, many of which are two- and three-storey buildings.

These shophouses, some of which are conserved pre-war buildings, are home to shops, eating places, pubs, boutiques and offices.

This name is very likely due to Kim Lan Temple (金兰庙) which is dedicated to Qing Shui Zhu Shi (清水祖师), also known as Chor Su Kong (祖师公) in Hokkien.

The temple was formerly located at Narcis Street and moved to Kim Tian Road in 1988.
