Halaman Ariffin

Halaman Ariffin, the side lane of Burma Road. Halaman is Malay language for court, Ariffin is the name of a person, in English it is Ariffin Court. It is a short lane. It is actually located behind Penang Road,near the junction of Penang Road/Burma Road. It is the first side lane of Burma Road from Penang Road, the 2nd lane is Macalister Lane. It lead to dead end. There is one row of shop houses on the left, and motor work shop on the right. Nothing heritage about the lane, a lane most people will ignore.....
