Pudu Jail Demolition

Finally the 119 y/o Pudu jail at KL had been demolished on 21st June 2010, no wonder I saw some friends putting up their photo shots on pudu jail, I wonder why the hell they are doing that?... I used to walk past the jail but didn't pay attention on the every single wall that was painted by 3 different prisoners...Now I feel that I kinda miss the art work. I still remember my dad used to told me that the prisoners painted the wall when he drove pass Pudu jail.

The jail sits in the heart of KL centre, to some developers, it would be a waste that such a big jail occupied the entire land which could have bring greater commercial values. Nevertheless, the wall and jail need to be demolished for 'development' purpose. I think it is kinda stupid to demolished the walls as I think they preserve historical value for the Malaysians and tourists, yet, the city council still proceed with tearing down the wall. Well... money talks for those sitting at the top.

If you ask me will I purchase the condo unit built on top of this prison? My answer will be a big NO! I believe it is bad for feng shui! What do you think?
