Kuala Lumpur - Those Were The Days

 

Circa 1960s. Car is turning down towards Jalan Pudu from Jalan Bukit Bintang (next to former Pavilion cinema. Tung Shin Hospital is farther down, right after the row of shop houses. The popular pre 60s Kum Leng Restaurant is on top left next to cluster of trees.

 

Peel Road (Jalan Peel ) - photo circa 1950s. This was the main trunk road leading out of KL to the Southern part of the country pre 70s before the Loke Yew Highway and Seremban Highway were constructed.

 

 

May 13^th aftermath of the rampage at Campbell Road (Jalan Dang Wangi ) before the left turning into Kampung Baru (Jalan Raja Abdullah)

 

Newly completed Federal Highway with the EPF building still work in the progress at the junction with Jalan Gasing 1962.

 

The colonial "prestigious" shopping places were Whileaway Laidlam, John Little's and Robinson's Dept Store located at Mountbatten Road (Jalan Tun Perak) which managed to stay in business till the 1970s ( photo ) with the top 2 floors being converted into a Chinese restaurant and night club.

 

 Tan Chong Motors, the sole agent/distributor of Datsun (Nissan) vehicles circa 1950s.

 

 

Sultan Street Railway Station signage is clearly displayed on the roof of the station.
Directly in front of the station is Foch Avenue. Present day Puduraya.

 

 

Front facade of Sultan Street Railway Station circa 1950s. On the right next to the station was the infamous lane with the steps leading up to Wesley Methodist Church and MBS.

 

The Jalan Sultan railway station was archived at more than a century old as evidenced on the timeline date of this photo. There was no Jalan Pudu yet and China town area was probably serviced by bullock tracks .
 

 

1960s High Street - Jalan Tun HS Lee. On left is the main office of Eu Yan San, the long established Chinese Medical Hall still at the same site today. Farther down the road is the Bangkok Bank.

 

  

1920s era, Yoke Woo Hin Restaurant is ( almost ) as old as Sultan Street. Serves old Cantonese tradition cuisine including the annual festive dumplings, moon cakes, dim sum and char siew low wanton mee. Recently ceased business.

 

Road on left was the very popular Cross Street, present day Jalan Silang, with the Tai Tai (chinese rich ladies) of the 50s - 70s era consisting of mainly gold smith shops. Some of the shops are still in business today, but facing competition from shopping malls and complex based gold smith shops.

 



 

Bukit Bintang Park aka BB Park. This site used to be Hollywood Park way back in the 1930s. Back then, this part of town was considered the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. It was for precisely this reason that Pudu Prison (popularly called Pudu Jail) was built in 1895. Hollywood Park was later acquired by movie giants of the day, Shaw Brothers. It was upgraded to BB Park with a carnival-like setting: there were cabarets and dance halls, cinemas, stage shows, restaurants, game stalls and even a boxing ring. BB Park’s fortunes started to decline with the rising popularity of television and radio. It was closed in the early 1970s and redeveloped into Sungei Wang Plaza.
