pudu jail (Penjara Pudu) KL

Pudu Prison also called Pudu Jail was build by the British in 1895 as a prison in Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur area.

The decision to tear down the 114-year-old prison has upset not only war veterans, locally and overseas, but also the Ex-Prison Officers Association Malaysia, which wanted part of the prison to be preserved for posterity.

This could be another landmark reminding Malaysians and tourists of the place, where local and foreign prisoners and prisoners of war from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Japanwere once held during World War 2.

Despite public objection to the citys historic landmark being destroyed, demolition work continued for the project, aimed at easing traffic congestion in the area.

The road expansion project costing about RM83 million will enable motorists to bypass the crossroads next to the old prison.

The tunnel will end before the traffic light junction into Puduraya. The project is expected to be completed in 2011.

Everyone is crapping here? Is that dull, old, space occupying Pudu Prison meant so much for you all? Is it just nothing but a prison.
