Snapshot: Left in a hurry
Left in a hurry
The previous residents must’ve left in a hurry (and recently), the potted plants are still alive and well. This picture was taken on Jalan Raja Chulan whilst I was stuck in a traffic jam. The old part of Kuala Lumpur is littered with buildings like these. They take you back to an older, more sedate time. Unfortunately, the fate of these buildings is quite certain. They will be demolished sooner rather than later. The pace of economic development inevitably leaves behind heritage and history. Sadly.
