//"When Dr Earnest Aston Otho Travers1 (1865-1934) was serving as a medical officer in the Setapak Leprosy Camp, he saw the poor facilities and the overcrowded, subhuman living conditions in the camp and began to mull about ways to improve the situation. In 1923, at the 5th Biennial Congress of Tropical Medicine held in Singapore, he introduced the idea of a “self-supporting community.” His bold and forward-thinking vision was materialised by Dr Gordon Ryrie, the first Medical Superintendent of the Sungai Buloh Settlement. The Valley of Hope, officially opened on 15 August 1930, was then the largest and best-equipped leprosarium in the British Commonwealth. The 570-acre colony, much like a little country, is a self-contained community and has every facility one can imagine – hospital wards, housing, a marketplace, a school, a community hall, a recreational field, a prison, a mosque, a Hindu temple, Chinese temples, churches, and a variety of clubs and associations. The settlement even introduced its own printed currency for internal circulation."// | |

* //"Jalan Travers is a major road in Brickfields, and now in new central business district of KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur. It originally linked Jalan Damansara to Jalan Tun Sambanthan, but since January 2015, it ends at the junction with Jalan Bangsar. The stretch between Jalan Bangsar and Jalan Tun Sambanthan has been renamed Jalan Rakyat, following the request of Bank Rakyat, which has its headquarters on that road. Originally known as Travers Road, Jalan Travers was named after Dr Ernest Aston Otho Travers1, a doctor who worked among those who were stricken with leprosy at the leper colony in Setapak. Today Jalan Travers is one of three roads named after him, the other two being Lorong Travers and Jalan Bukit Travers."// (Timothy Tye: {{ :laman:jalan_travers_kuala_lumpur.pdf ||}}[[https://www.penang-traveltips.com/malaysia/kuala-lumpur/jalan-travers.htm|"Jalan Travers, Kuala Lumpur"]]). | //"Jalan Travers is a major road in Brickfields, and now in new central business district of KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur.
