PUDU JAIL demolition - 21.06.2010

Our government decided not to keep Pudu Jail as one of the heritage site although it is more than 100 years old. The Pudu Jail wall, stretching about 300 meters, was demolished at 10pm last night. I was there with my friend to witness part of the demolition...

malaysia government sucks!

don't know why they demolish this historical building....

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!

@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

to give way towards the development of the nation's capital..

this sacrife isnt that worst compared to Malayans who had suffered their way through this Azkaban... The british built this for a reason.. and now.. there is no reason for them keep it alive..

Look in the bright side... We wanted independence.. we got it..

So we have to bear the consequences that it brings us...
