Look in the bright side... We wanted independence.. we got it..
So we have to bear the consequences that it brings us...
WHAT A BIG BIG MAJOR MISTAKE!! If the gov is smart, they will regret this deeply in the future. Big regrets! They have no idea what they just did to this magnificent Colonial British architecture of more than a 100 years of history and heritage. How can people be so stupid? This demolition of such a heritage building is a BIG BIG MISTAKE and Im shocked and disappointed that there is little resistance to prevent this from happening.

@Seramics they are smart actually. they demolish this and open mega project which cost multi billion ringgit and half of it goes into their pocket. If you really check the background of the government post. all of them pretty much brainless anyway.
wonder why they didnt promote this plan to UK PM to demolish old castle and build mega projects too. lol
fcuk the government .they shud hav preserve the building (turning it into a museum was a great idea wat~) n reconstruct/repaint or watever so it wouldve look presentable to the plancong n all that . .Shopping malls over 115y.o historical PUDU ..? ..How absurd.
actually it was a famous place for execution of the 2 australian citizen for drug trafficking, if you know Kevin Barlow and Brian Chambers, they got hanged to death and was delivered a strong message to drug trafficker with the following message: DEATH FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING UNDER MALAYSIAN LAW, KNOW WHAT YOU CARRY, BE FOREWARNED.
@chonghow86 well to answer your questions... The government did do some promoting on newspapers. In the beginning there were people visiting, but that phenomena doesn't last long.
when the government announced the demolition of Pudu Jail, are there protests? Are there petitions going around? Is there anyone around to stand up and deny the idea of demolishing Pudu Jail? No! That's why the government doesn't even know the people is against the demolition!
VERY beautifully shot! I am pretty upset. Us, who live in KL, are so used to passing by this building.
We no longer able to take a glance at those beautiful painting on the wall when we go down the road, on our way to, pudu pasar, Sungei Wang, Timesquare, clubbing,... It's one of the buildings that has been, and will be branded on my mind.
I wanna say, WHY THE HELL DID THEY demolish those walls??!! They could have kept them like how they keep the freaking fort and cannon in Melaka! tsk!
I loved this place. I really wanted to go inside the place. but i was told its not allowed. To make a mall over there is ridiculous. THIS IS JUST SAD!
@chonghow86 different people got different perception..live with it. = ) btw, there is still the entrance of pudu jail standing at there..go n snap a pic of u with it fast before they decided to remove it HISTORY LOVER! LoL.
I love the way you took out the sound from the video when the crane was knocking the wall down, you sure know how to create emotions through videography :) Plus the song you used.. totally just sums up most of the feelings of us Malaysians now; sad, regretful, solemn over the 'death' of a historic wall. And the fact that you captured Malaysians humourous actions (people taking parts of the wall) was great. Good job done there!
@joannawongkaeling Thanks alot! :) I'm glad that silence part worked out, and it's always nice to have someone like you felt that bit of film language in it. Thanks again!
My dance crew and I pass here to dance in the streets every month or so. Now this wonderful landmark is gone, what is left of the beauty in Pudu? Yeah, Malaysia memang boleh, ironically.
I seriously "VERY SAD" for what we are watching here.... What else our government going demolish some more... I never feel that this building is ugly in this town... Its always a 1 of the most beautiful building.... Its gone just like that now..... :(
Whether the government is right or wrong about it, when people make noise now, it's useless. There is nothing more you can do about it. Just goes to show like what other users mentioned before, "You don't know what you got until it's gone"
At least the memory of Pudu Jail will remain in Youtube. I bet that sooner or later, people will forget about this video as well. As for me, there is only apathy.
I'd like to say thank you to the creator and poster of this video. Definitely a good video. Its sad though that even during the building's lifetime hardly anyone thought anything of it, but now that its being demolished everyone's suddenly speaking up.
Funny..... when its here ,nobody say anything n when its going down, so many ppl say so many thing..... Do u think that ppl would b proud to say they did their time in Pudu Jail??? I DOUBT IT....
The government said that Pudu jail is not a heritage site because, its jail, theres nothing to be proud of about it. Well then why are they keeping the A Famosa? Its proof that how once a glorious empire got overturned overnight. Is that something to be proud of?
Destroying it to make way for development was uncalled for. Im not saying to just left the building rot, theres alot stuff u can do it, like museums, recreational purposes, etc. Its jail in a middle of a city, u dont see that everyday.
sigh...now only i know that, i never took a photo of it while i ady 25 years living in malaysia....=(...sad...this is one of the heritage sit ein malaysia...how could the gov decided to demolish it????
This is sad, I used to walk by Pudu Jail every weekends, and now that I'm away from the country, it's saddening that I'm not able to say farewell to it. Lovely video btw.
I still think the government should keep it as a heritage site instead of creating more jam and havoc by building more malls... =.=
sad to say this prison was once home to the notorious botak chin and the mural painting not to mention is worth more than the building should be its priceless...kinda sad to see how some ppl just dont understand the meaning of old is gold *sigh*
Do not what to say... Sad and feel that there should be another better way to improve the traffic jam, instead of tearing down the historic building :-(. Hope the govt can at least keep the door of Pudu Jail for memory..
dont know how to say my feelings...Iv seen these walls since Im young and suddenly it have to make way...got no words...government thinks its is should be demolish...welll..................................
this is simply sad. I used to live in bukit bintang area when i was a kid. I was so little, when i was in car, mostly what i always look forward was passing by the tall walls of pudu jail. It was even more beautiful back then. My mom once told me the man who did the drawing on the wall literally uses his fingers tip to create the leaf effect on trees for the entire huge wall. This brings back so much memory. Its a ashamed that its demolished. Very nice video buddy. Thank you for uploading. :)
simply just describe that the government had demolished a 110 years old historic building which was built way before World War II.
there were so many important history behind it which we all should treasure it for the next & next generation. do you think it should be destroy to end the story then to build another commercial building or the smart Government should restore it to TIP-Top condition so will be more pleasant as another tourist attraction?
too bad when money comes first..the prison should be kept as a heritage site no matter how valuable it is..as it has its own memories..but now, when they are too excited to build more and more shopping malls in the-already-packed-with malls kuala lumpur, it's like they lose they consideration..
and then they ask why we malaysians are forgetting our own history...
@dickwoei It's very beautiful. :) I love how you used such a melancholic tune to make it sound so lonely and cold, and how you muted some parts to magnify the impact and gravity of the situation. It feels like I'm watching something out of a well-directed movie. :)
@madscientist90 Thanks for the nice words! "a well-directed movie" is hell a huge compliment to me! And that silence part, thanks again for pointed that out. I'm sure you have a great sense in film-making, or else you must be big fans of cinema.
@dickwoei Well, in truth, I've never recorded something and then edited it this way before in my life. xD I've watched many inspiring videos to know how good ones should be made. And, as for watching movies... nah, I'm not much of a movie-goer. I just know how to bend the elements in film making to suit my whims. Study what others do and then adapt it in your work, that's how I get by. :) In any case, I'm glad to have come across this video. Cheers, mate. :)
@yanjun06285 i cant help but agree...whenever i pass by...jus feel its nthg but some old buildings...well ~ now its gone..lets jus hope the future development is worth it ~
awesome cinematography. very nice job. the music goes along perfect.
this building was from the 1800's for goodness sake. why demolish something that has so much history and value to be replaced with a building that KL already has hundreds of. its just sad of the government to not think it through. they just want $ and more $ i bet.
this is very stupid motive to demolish the heritage just to make way for offices. Who will wants to work in this haunter place?? The goverment shd keep it as heritage use it as museum to attract more tourist.....stupid action!! almost all heritage in town has been torn to ground just cause of this stupid brainless action ...

it really isnt all that stupid.im up for the whole preserving historical valued heritages,but what 'tourists' would come solely to visit some prison in kl.its hardly that famous.im sure 'hauntings' arent deciding factors, therefore, the bureaucrats i reckon have calculated that expanding a business hub n further development of the road system is more profitable than a make belief national heritage attraction. although,preserving SOME iconic parts of the prison is necessary.
I used to say that St. John Inst. and VI have some similarities when it comes to landmarks. VI has TimeSquare, St. John has CapSquare. St. John has Hutan Simpan Bukit Nanas (teachers have a feeling that SJI students originated from there) and on the contrary, VI has Pudu Jail (teachers would just wished that they are able to lock their students in there). but now...Pudu Jail is gone.
Beautifully done. When I was a kid, my mom always lied to me saying that if I was a bad boy they'd send me here. Since it was abandoned, I always thought it was haunted too. Really sad that they did this
my hypothesis is that the person who complain about Pudu jail not being a heritage building is the person who never used Jalan Pudu in their daily commute.
I am at overseas now, I was shock when my friend sent this link to me. It has been a landmark! I went to school I saw it, I went home I saw it, I went watching movies and shopping I saw it. Goodbye my little Jail......
We have come to a point that heritage is no more valuable. Sad, the next generation would value money as the only main subject of wealth. Nothing else.
great capturing. can you tell describe to me on you shoot it? like there is not a single hand shake on your hand. did you use any apparatus? thanks. LOVE This Video.
what a waste! that was one of the records that malaysia broke the longest mural wall painting..... it was suppose to be preserved for our great grandchildrens !

@dickwoei It's very beautiful. :) I love how you used such a melancholic tune to make it sound so lonely and cold, and how you muted some parts to magnify the impact and gravity of the situation. It feels like I'm watching something out of a well-directed movie. :)

@madscientist90 Thanks for the nice words! "a well-directed movie" is hell a huge compliment to me! And that silence part, thanks again for pointed that out. I'm sure you have a great sense in film-making, or else you must be big fans of cinema.

@dickwoei Well, in truth, I've never recorded something and then edited it this way before in my life. xD I've watched many inspiring videos to know how good ones should be made. And, as for watching movies... nah, I'm not much of a movie-goer. I just know how to bend the elements in film making to suit my whims. Study what others do and then adapt it in your work, that's how I get by. :) In any case, I'm glad to have come across this video. Cheers, mate. :)

awesome cinematography. very nice job. the music goes along perfect.
this building was from the 1800's for goodness sake. why demolish something that has so much history and value to be replaced with a building that KL already has hundreds of. its just sad of the government to not think it through. they just want $ and more $ i bet.

@chengbear77
it really isnt all that stupid.im up for the whole preserving historical valued heritages,but what 'tourists' would come solely to visit some prison in kl.its hardly that famous.im sure 'hauntings' arent deciding factors, therefore, the bureaucrats i reckon have calculated that expanding a business hub n further development of the road system is more profitable than a make belief national heritage attraction. although,preserving SOME iconic parts of the prison is necessary.

I used to say that St. John Inst. and VI have some similarities when it comes to landmarks. VI has TimeSquare, St. John has CapSquare. St. John has Hutan Simpan Bukit Nanas (teachers have a feeling that SJI students originated from there) and on the contrary, VI has Pudu Jail (teachers would just wished that they are able to lock their students in there). but now...Pudu Jail is gone.

Beautifully done. When I was a kid, my mom always lied to me saying that if I was a bad boy they'd send me here. Since it was abandoned, I always thought it was haunted too. Really sad that they did this

thanks to the author of this video. I love this. Pudu Jail was in the history now.
The Government seems like does not cherish the memory inside that.

my hypothesis is that the person who complain about Pudu jail not being a heritage building is the person who never used Jalan Pudu in their daily commute.

I am at overseas now, I was shock when my friend sent this link to me. It has been a landmark! I went to school I saw it, I went home I saw it, I went watching movies and shopping I saw it. Goodbye my little Jail......

冷漠的马来西亚人。
应该没什么东西会再让他们感到
愤怒、悲哀、伤感、激情、感动...
大家是不敢，还是无能。
老墙，
马来西亚人不爱你...
不好意思。

We have come to a point that heritage is no more valuable. Sad, the next generation would value money as the only main subject of wealth. Nothing else.

小时候的我，每次经过都会想。。
里面的囚犯到底是怎样的。？！里面过的生活是怎样的。？！
之后它搬迁了。。也令人怀念。。
现它拆了。。还直得怀念嘛。！
