Literally a road named as it leads to the building that houses the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (Institute of Language and Literature), which is opened in 1962.
Prior to that in the earlier days, it was known as the Flying Club Road, as it is the approach road to the airport of Kuala Lumpur’s first flying club.
It was then renamed as the Airport Road when the Kuala Lumpur’s first international airport was built. The road was subsequently translated to Jalan Lapangan Terbang. When the international airport was moved to Subang Jaya in 1965, the road was added with the word ‘Lama’ which means old in Malay.
