Bukit Bintang 1960s



Now

Why time passing very fast...when i look back the cinema photo..it show the cinema in mid valley, 1 utama, really like nothing...

Thankfully this survives and at the same time, with its original purpose

I see dead people

sooooooo nerdy

Federal hotel?? Oh gosh...i dint see the JAM at the first two pic...

I can't say nerdy, looking at the trend of those days.

Robinsons?

is that The Garden's punya Robinsons ka?

wahh in M'sia so long d horr...

In those days, KL seems to feel more like "provincial" than a metropolis (Klang Valley as of today).

This is not KL but Singapore chinatown Still can recognised the buiding on the front right..Still there but given a clean look..
