In April this year, the government unveiled its plans for Little India in Brickfields, KL. A report in The Star came complete with an artist's impression of the district. You can view it here. The upgrading works involved temporarily relocating the many stalls lining the main street of Brickfields to the playfield at Jalan Chan Ah Tong causing some disdain among the traders. But under the guise of progress and development comes a catch. Sun2Surf reported:
"Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal said the cabinet had decided to give Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) the land two months ago and that the company had submitted a proposal for commercial development to the federal government...
Raja Nong Chik said there was a possibility that the government quarters would be torn down. However, the Chan Ah Tong field, which is gazetted as a green area, will be preserved. he said."
Outrageous, says JAYANATH APPUDURAI

The sirens must have screamed that early dawn 37 years ago, the ambulance racing along Jalan Genting Kelang in a frenzied state towards KL's General Hospital. He never made it there alive.

P Ramlee, 44, had died.

Physically, we had a bit more elbow room, but it was a psychological full house when it came to the QnA. The questions were varied, probing and the guests seemed keen on moving forward. You feel that this JB crowd knows its issues and wants to engage.
More than a week ago - well, when the Keppel Road KTM Station was still very much Malaysian property - the Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia Roadshow came to JB bringing with it our five key messages.
We had some old faces with new looks.
Fahmi Reza had a tighter crop to his mod hair. He wore a T-shirt with the message Student Power, a project the activist has been busy working on this year. (If you enjoyed 10 Tahun Sebelum Merdeka, you'll get a kick out of Student Power.)
