Consider This: KL City (Part 2) — Preserving Heritage Icons
RM600 million was allocated in Budget 2025 to "preserve Kuala Lumpur’s status as a cultural and creative city". This includes mandating Khazanah Nasional to restore, as well raise the value of, national heritage sites like the Sultan Abdul Samad Building and Carcosa Seri Negara. How important is it that funds allocated are used to retain historical authenticity rather than simply giving these buildings a ‘facelift’? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Shuhana Shamsuddin, founder & first President of the Malaysian Urban Design Association (PEREKABANDAR), which is a registered NGO championing good urban design practices, with aspirations to reclaim the character of Malaysian cities.
