Taman Midah (formerly known as Bolton Garden) [1] is a 262-acre township in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The township probably takes its name from the Midah River which flows into a small lake to the east. [2]

Location

Taman Midah is located 5 kilometers from Bukit Bintang in the centre of Kuala Lumpur. Its north-eastern boundary is formed by the main trunk road of Jalan Cheras, the south-eastern by the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2. To its west is the Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and the peaceful spaces of Taman Tasik Permaisuri (Lake Park). Running through the centre of the township is Jalan Midah Besar.

History

The area was originally a rubber plantation known as the Bolton Estate. Originally an independent plantation, it was acquired by Bukit Kepong Estates Ltd on January 1, 1925. [3] The company went into voluntary liquidation in 1964, after which the land was sold for development. [4] Between the 1970s and 1990s [5] the land was developed as one of Kuala Lumpur's first townships [1] by Bolton Berhad (now known as Symphony Life Berhad).

Character

Taman Midah is predominantly a residential township with a small number of commercial units. Some roads are characterised by late twentieth century link houses. Others feature expensive large detached homes (bungalows). There are also a small number of condominium complexes. [6]

Taman Tasik Permaisuri (Lake Park) is popular with joggers/runners from nearby areas. [7] Both the Stadium Bolasepak Kuala Lumpur [8] and Kompleks Renang Kuala Lumpur [9] are adjacent to the park.

Shopping

Taman Midah has a range of traditional shops and a large Tesco supermarket. [11] There is a morning market daily [12] and a pasar malam each Saturday. Nearby are the increasingly popular shopping and eating areas of Cheras, including the Cheras Leisure Mall and, newly opened in 2019, the EkoCheras Mall.
