RegEx ignore first character of matched result

Help needed!

Let's say I have this sample:

NO 2 JALAN KANGSAR

84A JALAN BESAR

970 JLN SUNGAI PUYU

ENTREPRENEURS PARK, JALAN 1

116B, OFF JALAN KUCHAI LAMA

I want to get the "JALAN" that contains no "OFF" or "," right before it.

With this regex: [^(OFF|,)][ ]+(JALAN|JLN)

I able to eliminate bottom two of the sample but somehow match "2 JALAN" & "A JALAN" & "0 JLN" for the top three sample

What I need is only the "JALAN" without any digit/letter (space is allowed). Or maybe I would say to ignore the first character of matched results.

here is the link for the work: https://regex101.com/r/kN5pL2/2

Thank you so much!

Address Parser

Does anyone have idea how to parse malaysian address?

Especially how to separate House Number and Street since house number doesn't have any standards.

Example: No 23 Jalan ABC, Taman XYZ, 54321, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur

parse into

House number: No 23
Street name: Jalan ABC
Section: Taman XYZ
Postcode: 54321
City: Kuala Lumpur
State: Kuala Lumpur
