I doubt KL has any proper town planning. Or any vision in its town planning. Whoever does the planning for KL obviously enjoys tearing down history. They allowed Bok House to be torn down and Pudu Jail will soon only remain in pictures. The historic Subang airport is gone and now they want to transform the Sg Besi airport into yet another commercial area.
Do we need another commercial area?
What KL needs are parks and more parks and recreational open spaces. The KLCC park is not really a park, we should have a park like London ’s Hyde Park or New York ’s Central Park or Melbourne ’s Royal Park
KL needs her historical buildings to be preserved. Those buildings add character to the city. We cannot keep demolishing old buildings just to make a quick buck. If we keep this up, the Sultan Abdul Samad building will soon be torn down and replaced with a mall with residential and commercial components, a few hotels, and a couple of office towers.
