wow

No change at those streets, still same.

Mentality of Malaysians = dumberer

Masa ni DSLR tak wujud lagi.

Robinson's Shopping Centre now became what?

Jalan Pekeliling

lol.. old car at the parking lot.

when wearing sarong is a fashion statement

sold the company to UK liao.

FUUUUUU

Nowadays Flat Pekeliling still undemolished despite all the tenants moved out years ago.

BTW, LOL at "Satu lagi ranchangan rumah murah Kerajaan Perikatan".

Must be the previous headline before "Satu Lagi Projek Kerajaan Barisan Nasional".....

LOL im about to say the same thing

is this where the titwangsa monorail station located? with the haunted unoccupied flats?
very nostalgic mang

KL 1961

last time we frens all lepak at The Mall

0:06 - 0:14
malaysians do have good road values last time. there is no need for traffic lights to stop those cars..nowdays, try crossing masjid jamek zebra crossing

butthurt?

wah last time got lane bicycle and beca ... so wide ... and car give people walk 1st at zebra crossing ... haizzz ... KL mundur liao ...

that time,those who can afford to own a car considered rich already.

i remember 1st time in pekeliling flat, in 1985.juventus vs liverpool.. ramai mati

still similar view infront of Sultan Abd Samad building...except no tall skyscrapers behind


national mosque still dun have blue roof

More from this interesting blog:

http://peps-hellkitchen.blogspot.com/2010/...ala-lumpur.html

Yes, nowadays it's called Jalan tun razak.

Flat pekeliling technically set for demolition because they wanted to rebuild it using current specs.

Previously Flat pekeliling only had 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which is inadequate especially since typical household have 5 people (2 adults and 3 children) on average.

That is why it's now unoccupied. because they relocated all the previous tenants.

But for some reason the project stalled for years already.

I guess this is why oldfags really miss the days of kodacolor and kodachrome film and paper....

u nostalgia u lose

jalan hang tuah, in front of pudu jail

nais , thanks for sharing

wow
cant believe its so different

Those pics were taken by some serious quality lenses. I'm guessing Leica the least. Very contrasty and striking as if it made me feels like I'm back to the past as I'm looking at it. DSLR sucks. Old school film + High quality glass = The real deal!

tl;dr fcuk development.

just lookin at those pic seem like I'm travel back time...

lol... hi there ex victorian. nice to know u here.

hehe..nice to know you too brah

i try to put myself in their shoes... and.. i have no idea wat to do for the rest of the day

i still remembered last time on the 70s, my hair was like Elvis!

The statue after bomb explosion


Rebuild

yup...no MV, no OU, no Times Square... Lowyat plaza i dono edi exist during dat time o not... But for sure no pc stuff there

The good old day of KL.. Back then robbinson was 1 of the shopping complex just for the mat salleh & rich ppl at kl..

see the truck number yo ~~~

Can't believe how much KL has lost due to modernisation.

Must preserve the old, while keeping progress.

Just take the example of the PUDU JAIL.. I totally one of the msia citizen who disagreed of the demolished of PUDU JAIL.. if not of the selfishness of developer this tempat bersejarah is still proudly located at the centre of kl city. If not maybe future I still can have the opportunity to show my kids / grandchildren the history of PUDU JAIL.

It's not about the PUDU JAIL itself but the painting at the outside walls who make it unique & special. Can you believe it that the painter was a banduan at the jail & he has the talent of drawing the picture by using just only his fingers.

projek..projek...projek..

Like it stated on the Jalan Pekeliling 1970's pic

SATU LAGI PROJEK KERAJAAN BERIKAT

nostalgic tread

lol!

mgs girls

We're in back to the future

my ex school too ..

1970-2011

those in da pics if still alive could be someone granny edi

now we need a delorean+some beer . lol

we really have gone so backwards

thanks for sharing dude. nice thread.

I really believe we can progress while at the same time, retaining the past, old architecture.

Not just kuala lumpur, i'm sure everyone missing their hometown

At least Sandakan town retain most of 1950's and 1960's structure

good for that, tawau has changed too much for the last 10 years

for sarawak, garment store bazaar, poultry market and fish market along jalan gambir already demolished and construct to extend the existing waterfront.

This is a most unique and exciting thread ever open

Not that they have choice to begin with.

Sandakan town centre is narrow and small. Smaller than Tawau. Most Sandakanites live in suburb area.

Sandakan town centre is bordered by sea at the south, hill at the north.

old melaka pls mr kampung

I saw bukit aman. but why look riek pondok aman only wan.

i nostalgia liao

nice HDR.
