Another photo shot of KL's skyline (aerial view) this time taken in 1988. The old (& defunct) Jln Ampang race course (site of KLCC & the Twin Towers) can be seen at the middle left. Behind the race course are the Tabung Haji Building (left) & the PNB building right.

Another aerial view photo shoot done also in 1988. The now-demolished Equatorial Hotel & Wisma SPK can be seen at the foreground left. The plot of empty land to the right of Wisma SPK is being occupied now by the Life Centre.

Are you trying to repackage all these photos which are contributed by many skyscrapercity forumers and call them your own?

No. I am just adding picture that is nostalgic, and added source for the pictures. Not in my intention to call it my own.

OK, thanks for the clarification.

I asked because I am an active contributor of skyscrapercity's OLD KUALA LUMPUR thread which contains many photos.
*
Ok, is it ok if I can add these pictures for fellows to view here. I'm bit lost in that forum, so thought of just adding these for viewing pleasure.

No need.

Share the photos by all means, but please quote the source of these photos.

Thanks again, it is difficult to put source for each person who contributed but I tried my best by adding source of pictures from that forum.

I don't mean you need to credit each contributing member.

Just the skyscrapercity's OLD KUALA LUMPUR forum thread will do.  smile.gif

Thanks again. I will definitely do this

You do not need to give credit to anybody or any website where you got these pictures from. There are all taken from somewhere else in the first place and skyscraper members who posted them did not give credit as well. One example is a picture I posted here in lowyat forum -

- https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=66007776

Which was then reposted at skyscraper on the same date -

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php...&postcount=2942

I don't see anyone giving credit either....

Thanks again, just trying to do the right thing
