I also trying to Google for BB park but google returned Modern BB park

The result from Googling still nothing

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

Wow thx..been wondering how Sg Wang or the famous Rose Chan cabaret era ground look like in the 60's...Interesting...Too bad the park also no more dy from the picture..probably early 1970? Lowyat Plaza..din know it was a gigantic carpark..Here's my edited photo depicvting those current buidings missing from the original:

Can't be 1935-lah from the Van & motorbike pictures.. probably 1960-1970

No idea wor..I only migrated to KL late 80's & 1st time to KL during mid 80's...That time, The Mall is the best Mall in KL haha..
so dunno much how KL look like bfore mid 80's

During Mid 80's The Mall was so sparkling new. My 1st trip to KL visiting the Mall, Putra World Trade & Genting..My secondary school trip during my form 5 Holiday haha

Yeah few times during late 80's till mid 90's..My best movie was Jurrasic park..boy..the long que tp buy the ticket

I think you confused liao. Rex was at Petaling st arealah..The capitol was located at Raja Laut/Chow Kit area..I think you mean Federal cinema kot?

Rex is still there but turned into badly maintained guesthouse but dunno that guesthouse still there? Federal Cinema converted to Cineplex during late 90's mah still a cineplex till Today. This post has been edited by stimix: Jan 17 2011, 10:54 AM

You mean the LDP? Yeah prior to the opening of LDP ~1999, Damansaras Kepong link is just narrow & jammed up road. haha..

Prior to 1999 The LDP also causes havoc in Bdr Sunway, once a quiet neighbourhood suddenly cut-off both side due to the highway & there is no road linking Sunway to Puchong..the existing LDP that cut the township is just a Dead end road residential road..Boy...LDP really changed the whole area.

Regret din take any of the dead end road prior to the construction of LDP.

Wondering anyone can share the United Seafield plantation before 90's..Prior to that, Only Subang Jaya exist and USJ was a rubber/oil palm platation..Seafield, United Planntation estate...It will be interesting to have the 1st view of Seafield.

I rushed to the tower ~ 5pm during the incident. I stayed at Melawati that time..Just resigned from my 1st job. Was in my rented home & heard helicopters flying above and once I switched on the TV..suddenly the image of Highland tower & rushed there on my kapcai..

Normal discolourisation after 10 yr

When I was growing up in M'cca during the 70's, there were bullock carts around M'cca towns too..Then the owners started to convert their carts for the purposes of Tourism & making money during the 80s' & 90s' at Dataran pahlawan..Hmnnn wondering where all those bullock carts liao

For those asking for the new Medan Pasar, this was taken sometime in early 2011?..colourful liao
