TrendMatrix rancang bangun Ramlee Walk bulan depan


TRENDMATRIX Enterprises Sdn Bhd (TrendMatrix), yang terbabit dalam pembangunan pusat hiburan, runcit dan makanan, akan membangunkan sebuah lagi pusat serupa di Jalan P Ramlee Kuala Lumpur dikenali sebagai Ramlee Walk.



Pengarahnya, Ronnie Choong, berkata pusat bernilai berjuta-juta ringgit yang bakal menjadi tarikan pelancong itu akan dibangunkan bulan depan.

“Pusat itu akan menyamai Universal Walk di Los Angeles yang popular di kalangan pelancong antarabangsa,” katanya dalam satu temu bual dengan Berita Harian di Kuala Lumpur, baru-baru ini.

Choong berkata, Ramlee Walk akan mempunyai restoran di pesiaran pejalan kaki, pusat hiburan dan kiosk cenderamata dan butik berjenama.

Beliau berkata, pembangunan Ramlee Walk sejajar usaha kerajaan membangunkan lebih banyak pusat tarikan pelancong khususnya di Kuala Lumpur.

Awal tahun ini, syarikat itu membuka kafe ala Beach Club di jeti Mersing, Johor yang popular di kalangan pelancong yang berkunjung ke Pulau Tioman.

Syarikat itu baru-baru ini turut menyiapkan kerja pembinaan sebuah hotel butik 48 bilik di Mersing untuk memenuhi peningkatan ketibaan pelancong di sana.

Selain itu, Choong berkata, syarikat berkenaan juga merancang membangunkan Beach Club Resort di tapak seluas 5.2 hektar di Pulau Besar berhampiran Mersing.

“Ia dijangka dibangunkan tidak lama lagi,” katanya.

Choong berkata, pengalaman luas beliau dalam bidang pembangunan pusat pelancongan, pemulihan bangunan lama untuk dijadikan restoran dan pusat tarikan pelancong akan dimanfaatkan sepenuhnya dalam pembangunan Ramlee Walk dan lain-lain pusat hiburan di seluruh negara.

Antara projek yang dibangunkan Choong sebelum ini ialah pemulihan semula pasar lama Central Market di Kuala Lumpur untuk dijadikan pusat pelancongan dan pemulihan bangunan lama di Asian Heritage Row berhampiran Jalan Yap Kwan Seng Kuala Lumpur, untuk dijadikan restoran.

TrendMatrix juga memiliki beberapa pusat hiburan dan pub sekitar Kuala Lumpur seperti Emporium Grand Cafe, The Beach Club, Nouvo, Sangria dan Q-bar.

Choong ialah seorang daripada calon merebut anugerah usahawan Ernst & Young 2004.

Berita Harian adalah rakan media bagi anugerah itu.[/b]

Hi I was here in june I like this place so ,so. I ve seen better places in KL

No shortcuts
By Sharmila Ganapathy

"There are many ways to succeed but taking shortcuts is not one of them," cautions Choong Hock Phung. He firmly believes that one needs to practise ethics when venturing into the leisure and entertainment business.
This is a crucial lesson that the Penang-born Choong has learnt from his experience in this industry. Choong, who is co-founder and director of Trend Matrix Enterprises Sdn Bhd, is also a finalist for this year's Ernst & Young Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year Malaysia award.
For the uninitiated, Choong is the man behind some of KL's hip and happening nightspots, including the popular Emporium, The Beach Club and Nouvo. According to Choong, his love for the entertainment field began at the tender age of 17.
"I had just come to KL and was offered a stint as master of ceremonies for a Talentime competition," he says. It was the first time he was on stage in front of a large crowd, but the teenage Choong took to it like a duck to water. He decided that entertainment was the field for him and soon secured a job as a deejay in a hotel, where he gained knowledge of the hospitality industry.
He later went on to work in the real estate and property sectors but only got a taste of entrepreneurial life in 1984 when he was hired by local entertainment company Hollywood East Entertainment Group to set up disco-cum-restaurant outlets in KL and later Penang. Choong went on to develop Central Market and Ampang Point and jump-started the Pizza Hut franchise in Malaysia.
Despite his success in these areas, Choong secretly hankered to go back to his old love. So he co-founded Trend Matrix in 1997 with a close friend who shared his enthusiasm for the business. Today, the company operates 10 entertainment outlets nationwide and is now expanding into the tourism and hospitality sector as well.
Trend Matrix is currently building its first hotel in Mersing, the gateway to popular tourist spot Pulau Tioman as well as a resort in Pulau Besar. Also underway is Ramlee Walk, on Jalan P Ramlee in KL, which Choong hopes will be an active tourist spot promoting Malaysian cuisine and culture, as well as provide fine cuisine and entertainment outlets. This will be modelled after Universal Walk in Los Angeles.

Ramlee Walk or DBKL prefers to call it KL Citywalk, is located on a 416m long drain reserve behind Rohas Perkasa, Hong Leong, MNI Twins, Ascott, and Impiana Hotel. Construction was delayed by unforeseen circumstances, but is now resumed and is scheduled to open for business by March 2007.

You can keep yourself updated here ---> http://www.klcitywalk.com

Yeah, at the moment the website too is under construction. Will be updated soon.

Is the design of the KL CityWalk from an outside consultant or DBKL's in-house? No offence here- but looking at some DBKL's urban design track record; KL Citywalk will be sadly no where close at par with Bintang Walk quality (at least). Looking at the 'official' website too somehow suggest I could be right...

I shudder with the thought. Another missed opportunity...

KL Citywalk is a privatisation venture. Originally it was merely a landscaping and beautification project.

The developer is an F&B expert, whom has made Jalan P. Ramlee and various part of the city alive. I guess you'll just have to wait and see. :)

It was my mistake. I capped the letter 'o' for 'oct' in the image link. That's why the images didn't come out. :nuts:

Excellent project! Thanks for the pics, log!

logorithm,

nice pics. How did you get so close to the site?

Thanks so much for the updates! Difference between Bintang walk and KLcity walk I guess would be the kiosks for klc walk are pretty permanent structures as concrete is used.

if u have CIDB card...very easy...that is for my case...:)

Well let's hope they are all for F&B and not financial services kiosks ala Bintang.

There used to be a small river there (read: river and not big longkang). Since when they covered it? :?

It's designed to last for the next 20-30 years.

Well let's hope they are all for F&B and not financial services kiosks ala Bintang.
Most of the outlets are F&B.

The drain has been covered some 10-15 years back...

Hey that CIDB card must be very kewl! :nocrook:

We only have some 2D visualisations. Previously there was a 3D walkthrough, but the design has since been changed. Shown here is only part of the Citywalk called the 'Heritage Walk'. There are also 'Contemporary Walk' and 'Cyber Walk'. :)

wow nice. Got traditional elements :happy:

good concept :)
actually how long the street walk?

good concept :)
actually how long the street walk?
It is about 416m long, or over 1,300ft, which is about 100ft short of the height of the Petronas Twin Towers. :)

Hmmm... boleh jugak! Where are you at?

Now that you've asked, lemme tell you lah... we are the developer, the architect, the project manager, the contractor, and perhaps even the ID, for this project. :nuts:

And nope, I'm not involved in the design, but am responsible for getting the approvals from relevant authorities, and project management. More stories lah when we kuar minum, ok? Feels like not appropriate to tell-all in here. It's like stripping myself naked... :lol:

Hahah... ok lah I'll strip myself bit by bit lah. :lol:

The Old Kuching Courthouse? I sorta like ingat tak ingat... but I think a team from my batch did the Measured Drawings of the Courthouse back in 1991 when we were studying at UTM. My team documanted Sekolah Menengah Clifford Kuala Kangsar, while another team did the school opposite us, the Maktab Melayu Kuala Kangsar.

So, if you're looking for information on some famous heritage buildings around the country, UTM's 'Kalam' would most probably have it. :)

Yeah I think they did the whole of the Courthouse complex.

KALAM stands for 'Kajian Alam Bina Dunia Melayu' or 'Centre of Built Environment in the Malay World'.

---> http://web.utm.my/fab/

Unfortunately the Kalam website www.kalam.edu.my is not working at the moment.

Well... we certainly have a list of proposed retail mix for the Citywalk, but it's not been finalised yet. There'll be some 43 outlets, of which 27 have been allocated for F&B. 13 others are for retail, while 3 of them are for arts gallery.

Sizes of the outlets range from 45 sq.ft. to over 700 sq.ft. Very tight! It's gonna be something like in Japan.

Along the walk, there'll be the 'Wall of Fame', similar to Hollywood's 'Walk of Fame'.

^ Any confirmed companies for the outlets? :happy:

We all can always keluar minum-minum together, all you need to do is just buat muka tak malu and ask lor... :lol:

But I cannot belanja all lar... me just a kuli, even myself also tak cukup makan. :ohno:

Regarding disclosing of the retail mix, I think I cannot do that lah at this moment. They're still doing the marketing. :cheers:

Another night spot opened on Jalan P. Ramlee last Wednesday. It's called Aloha, and it's just opposite the entrance to the KL Citywalk. Previously it was a high-class Indonesian Restaurant called 'Gurame Restaurant', but was outta business after only a few months.

Aloha looks pretty kewl, very exotic and eye-catching design. :)

aiyoo...the falling thing ar...so dangerous la...
Yes exactly, fairul! We are writing to their project manager (Bovis) to ask them to step up their safety measures. Just look at their scaffolding -- no netting whatsoever! Their crane keeps on hovering and dangling stuff over our heads!

yeah. i guess so. when it will be completed actually??
A realistic date would be April 2007, but my boss is pushing for February. :nuts:

http://www.yesalbum.com/v001/logorithm/klcitywalk/dec-q1a.jpg

:lol:

What I can see from the excellent photo's is that the Walk is not wide enough. Looks like there can be some serious crowding taking place. I take it that outside seating will not be allowed.

I guess we are bringing Lan Kwai Fong right into KL's downtown. The feeling of being wrapped around by skyscrapers... Btw, the walk seems narrow???

Thats the way we can mingle wif the girls:banana:

KL citywalk website has pictures from other developments in the US. Aren't those pictures copyright and the citywalk people just stole them? Typical damn Malaysians!

Yes exactly, fairul! We are writing to their project manager (Bovis) to ask them to step up their safety measures. Just look at their scaffolding -- no netting whatsoever! Their crane keeps on hovering and dangling stuff over our heads!

tell the PM too that the workers not wearing any safety gear at site..

p/s: nanti siap u belanje i kat any of the FB outlet..hehe

wah,didn't expect it to have so much construction!

wondering where is the other end? could it be linked to Pavlillion?

What I can see from the excellent photo's is that the Walk is not wide enough. Looks like there can be some serious crowding taking place. I take it that outside seating will not be allowed.
Yes indeed. The width of the walk is only 10m. At behind the MNI Twins, the width is 12m. We hafta maintain at least a 3m wide pedestrian walkway. We have outside seatings at certain parts along the walk.

Thats the way we can mingle wif the girls:banana:
You're absolutely genius! :banana:

We researched for the best for the citywalk and convinced our client (which is the City Hall) what works and what not. If that upset you Sheik, then it's just too bad. :ohno:

Weiiii... you're talking our workers or their (Bovis') workers? :lol:

So, you're ready for a spiked drink huh? Just lemme know lah when you're in town. :lol:

wondering where is the other end? could it be linked to Pavlillion?
The walk is 416m long, between Jalan Pinang/Jalan Perak (UOA Building) and Jalan P. Ramlee (Aloha). It's not linked to the Pavilion.

A realistic date would be April 2007, but my boss is pushing for February. :nuts:

then i wait till february lor..if not then i will wait again in april ;)

Logorithm,

I sure hope KL city walk will turn out to be something similar to the pictures on the website. I want it to be really the best also. What I hate is you guys just take other people's pictures and putting on the site to deceive people. Your boss wanna get sued or what? I guess you think it's ok to just copy and paste some readily available photos.

Why not just show renderings or artist impressions of what KL city walk will look like? Isn't that more ethical?

Dear Sheik,

Appreciate your 'ethical' attitude. Thank you for your lesson.

I guess you're not a designer or sorts. How do you convey your ideas when you don't have any designs yet? That's what that page was about. Also, what if I tell you some of the pictures were actual pictures taken by my boss who went all the way to visit those places?

Anyway, your point is noted. Again, thank you. So we are the bad guys. You're the good guy. BTW, I did show an artist impression of how the citywalk will look like. I purposely do not want to show-all to keep it a still a secret. Is that ok with you? If not, shall we just talk without any pictures and images?

How did construction begin without any designs? If no designs yet, how come got some sketches? Real confusing! Oh so since no design yet, just use photos from other projects first to give a nice impression. Wow very smart. I don't care if your boss flew all over the world to take the pictures. My point is the pictures will give people a wrong impression. I know you will be angry too if later on when KL city walk is ready and someone took pictures of it and post it on some future walk project. That's total misrepresentation! I understand that you are just trying to convey ideas with some pics. Fine.

I guess you should just put a disclaimer to the pics. That will solve the problem so as not to confuse the public. Thanks.

Hope KL city walk will turn out really nice and pleasant to walk in. Good luck!





Dear Sheik,

On the contrary, we'd be proud if someone would show our Citywalk to the world and wanna copy us!

Again, thank you for your ethical lesson. Points taken. Will make the recommended change on the website after Christmas.

That's where we disagree whether it's ok to copy someone else's work.

Thanks for making the changes to the site. Glad that you are open to my suggestion. I just want the public to get the real picture. Can't wait to see it and walk in it.

This project is good and should be replicated around KL to encourage people to walk more..lie a pedestrian mall. :lol:

gr8 for KL ;)

Any recent news please?

Any news on the progress?

Thanx Andy for bumping this up. Sorry I haven't got the chance to post some progress pics. So here are some pictures for this month of March. Progress has been very slow. Opening is expected by May 2007. Just less than two months away? Hmmm...:ohno:

nice update, logorithm!

what are those small buildings for?? shops?

Yes, TYW. The buildings are retail outlets. The retail mix is almost finalised. :)

no wonder lah the progress is too slow...old method ma...using concrete block! and who's the developer?i really wanna kick them

^^ isn't using the concrete block the building will be stronger?

^^ reinforce concrete, yes...it will be stronger but not concrete block(that's 2 different things). this method takes time...

Although these buildings are supposed to be 'temporary' (about 20 years), r.c. skeletal construction is the cheaper way of doing it. Otherwise our cashflow won't work. After 20 years, DBKL might wanna demolish them.

Anyway, the slow progress is not due to the method of construction. It's complicated. :dance2:

huh?? where got concrete block in the pic??

It's actually cement bricks that we're using.

It's actually cement bricks that we're using.

oh, they are talking about the bricks....

i was thinking about those huge concrete boxes that are used to build drains or pillars:lol:

Hehehe... that's precast concrete. :lol:

cement brick = concrete block lah....ayo!, cement+pasir+batu+air=concrete:yes: got it?

cement brick = concrete block lah....ayo!, cement+pasir+batu+air=concrete:yes: got it?
Yes we got what you mean, but cement bricks don't have batu in it. It's just cement and sand. Therefore it's not concrete. And 'brick' is not the same as 'block', coz block is much bigger.

Yes, dengilo. The buildings are sitting on cross beams supported by piles running on both sides of the drain. The drain is spared of any loadings.

You're right! This place is gonna be great! Soon it's gonna appear on Lonely Planet! :banana:

http://www.yesalbum.com/v001/logorithm/illus/prompt.jpg

This must be the result of hotlinking of an image hosted under klcitywalk.com. So guys, would appreciate it very much that you don't hotlink images from klcitywalk.com. BTW, we are constructing the website now, and should be up very soon. :)

Any news on progress guys?

Thanx James for the picture update. That picture is newer than what I have here. I have April pictures, and there's nothing much worth posting since progress has been goddamn slow.

I'm no longer in the project since some two months back because I'm concentrating on my other project Lumina Kiara @ Mont Kiara.

when it suppose to be completed??

Wow ..must be exciting!

Just not wide enough for a crowd.

Will there be seating out on the walk?

Maybe they wan it to be like Japanese roadside stalls that most of the customers either sitting at the front stall or standing..The only problem are congestion and cleanliness so be considered.

when it suppose to be completed??

after Plaza Rakyat finished...

after Plaza Rakyat finished...

ah..okay jugak ler kalau after plaza rakyat. no harm.

Its a really a nice location for whats planned but who are they targeting is another thing!I see it being upscale food court for all the office staff in the buildings nearby.But the minute they put starbucks,sushi king ,7-11 etc etc

I designed this logo for KL Citywalk. It's not finalised yet though. Any comments will be appreciated. :)

http://iwant.reallyfast.info/klcitywalk/klcitywalk02s.jpg

any progress ?

any progress ?
Yeah, there is progress... but very slow. Currently we are building the suction tank at the Jalan P. Ramlee end on the plot of land that has been holding-up the whole progress due to land issue. The land is now bought over by Glomac (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=460306), and is properly surrendered to DBKL as drain reserve because they have submitted for D.O. Previously the plot of land was still a private property because they have never submitted any proposals, hence DBKL couldn't impose on them that they surrender that piece of land.

I designed this logo for KL Citywalk. It's not finalised yet though. Any comments will be appreciated. :)

http://iwant.reallyfast.info/klcitywalk/klcitywalk02s.jpg

It 's nice but captures more of the twins and Menara than Ramlee Walk tho..In my humble opinion (I'm not a graphix artist)..I think it should say sumthin or capture the essence of Ramlee Walk..I have very little idea as how this 'walk' gonna turn out..but I guess what is unique of Ramlee Walk should be the focal point. Not The twins nor Menara...maybe the fact that the alley is nestled between highrises..could that strike sum ideas? Don't get me wrong..I think your logo is totally neat but this is not about neither (twins n menara)

I designed this logo for KL Citywalk. It's not finalised yet though. Any comments will be appreciated. :)

http://iwant.reallyfast.info/klcitywalk/klcitywalk02s.jpg

take out the stars! it makes the whole logo looks unbalance.


btw, i pray this project not to include stalls selling fake gucci/prada handbags, perfume or watch...plz and plz lah. petaling street is enough. don't want KL to be associated with these fakes...

I designed this logo for KL Citywalk. It's not finalised yet though. Any comments will be appreciated. :)

http://iwant.reallyfast.info/klcitywalk/klcitywalk02s.jpgmake the towers smaller/shorter and take out the stars...the rest is pretty good

Cheers, m

Great, valid comments! Thank you guys! :)

To Leeigh: The underlining thingy of the logo, divided into 5 segments, actually symbolises the long, linear walk (about 416m long), which is divided thematically into:

1. Heritage Walk
2. Contemporary Walk
3. Cyber-Walk
4. Contemporary Walk
5. Heritage Walk

The icons of KLCC and KL Tower are specifically what my boss wants to see in the logo, reason being that the walk is located in the stretch between KL's top two tourist spots KLCC and KL Tower.

To oshkoshbgood: Your prayers will be answered... :)

Removed the stars, and tried with smaller towers, but it doesn't look good, so I enlarged the towers instead. I think the latter looks better.

http://iwant.reallyfast.info/klcitywalk/klcitywalk04as.jpg
Smaller towers.

http://iwant.reallyfast.info/klcitywalk/klcitywalk04bs.jpg
Larger towers.

http://iwant.reallyfast.info/klcitywalk/locations.jpg
And the location of KL Citywalk in between KLCC and KL Tower.

Logorithm buddy...gotcha, actually without the stars look better and now I know what Ramlee Walk is about! Cool deal! n good job!

nice, what about putting a few random stars above the letters

Or put a tiny silhoutte of pRamlee playing a saxaphone somewhere :D

its catchy but kinda hard to read

its catchy but kinda hard to read
Perhaps it's due to 'KL' is too close with 'Citywalk'. I've distance them a lil bit more, and I think it reads better now.

Anyway, my boss likes this logo very much and I am asked to pass it to the graphics department to take it from there. I will concentrate on my job as an architect. :)

^^ yeah hmmm...

Any news on this project?

I'm no longer involved in this project, but will try to post some latest pictures soon...

Sorry no updated pictures yet... will try to get some to be posted in here soon...

In the meantime, I'd like to highlight that we are currently designing the website, but it's not being published yet. This is how it looks like in the second draft:

Another corruption project by DBKL? What a terribly design..:ohno:

^^ Hahah... no comment as I was never involved in the process of designing this project. :nuts:

But let's give it a chance as it's not complete yet. Perhaps it'll look decent once the skeletons are fitted out. Whatever it is, it's nice feeling walking on this Citywalk sandwiched in between the tall buildings. I'm sure it'll turn out nice although the building designs admittedly are just too plain. :)

tell them their link has suspended - http://www.klcitywalk.com/..as like the project..

^^ Yeah we know... actually this was explained in another thread:

Hahaha... so DKNY found another subject to bang us... :lol:

The story is like this:

The website was previously hosted by another web-hosting company, but the development of the website was put on hold until we are certain of our direction (with all the issues affecting the project).

Our hosting has since expired, but we have just signed up with another web-hosting/web designer company. I am no longer involved in the project, but what I know is that currently the company is developing the website, while on our side, we are developing the branding.

I'm trying to locate the draft webpage design... Will post that up later...:)

sorry...i hate to say that i hate the DOME! material looks cheapo and i donno is there any aestetical value of it? :dunno:

btw, for your updated website...it is written 'garden'? will there be any garden along this project? what about the current free parking space next to it? emm...perhaps DBKL should turn one of the parking lot as public open space, as a compliment to KL city walk....

^^ I don't like it too from the looks in the pictures. But then... it's unfinished yet. What I know is that the designer is trying to replicate the KL Train Station. Let's wait and see how it'll turn out...

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd282/logorithm/klcitywalk/may2008/BangunanStesenKeretapiKualaLumpur.jpg

Yes, 'garden'. It will have landscaping elements in it.

The free parking space? Where? As far as I'm concerned, those were paid parking. And these plots are no longer parking space. They are being developed. Previously we did intent to also take up the parking area and make it part of KL Citywalk. But that piece of land was simply too expensive for us to acquire. :)

Was there ever a public consultation procedure regarding this project? Or was it simply "bulldozed" through? I wonder if the public can ever participate in projects like these. They pay property taxes to DBKL you know....

Vince this another DBKL syok sendiri projectlah!!What else is new with DBKL all they good is wasting tax payers money.But then again i think this project is a private venture

Was there ever a public consultation procedure regarding this project? Or was it simply "bulldozed" through? I wonder if the public can ever participate in projects like these. They pay property taxes to DBKL you know....

why needs public to participate? fyi, there is no such thing as 'public consultation'. kalau macam tu, semua benda tak boleh jalan, sebab semua suara nak kena dengar....enough of meeting among Technical Committee members, they represent associations, government agencies and privates...

err.. project nie delay bukan pasal tukul besi/object keras yg jatuh dari bangunan dlm pembinaan yg cermin hijau tue ke ??

so bangunan tue pun dah siap.. project pun jalan mcm biasa la.

that's what i heard too...delayed due to safety problems..

The reason why I am saying this is because there are more residential properties nowadays in downtown KL. Should involve the residents when having projects such as this. Many areas pertaining to the design, functionality and usefulness of the projects should be discussed with civic groups as well as residents. Maybe this concept may seem very alien to many of you, but residents should be more critical of projects in a "cosmopolitan" city such as KL.

Osh, if there were a public consultation, folks would have rejected the "dome" design and opted for something that would suit the surroundings. Sad, but our society still lacks transparency and accountability.

you can't say our society lack of 'transparency and accountability' due to unavailability of 'public consultation'.

look at how Bangsar was developed, it has many objections by existing residents and until now they still keep voicing. what if we 'bow' to these peoples' demand, do you think today's bangsar will be like what it is today?

just wanna note that we have 23million populations. that means we have 23 million brains and 23 million voice. while we only have one (1) government. so, tell me which party should listen and be listened?

err.. project nie delay bukan pasal tukul besi/object keras yg jatuh dari bangunan dlm pembinaan yg cermin hijau tue ke ??

Nope, Pedang. That was never a problem that could cause the project to stall. There were, and still are, a whole lot of problems. The major one is the land issue. The stretch of land behind MARC Apartment and Glomac (now under construction) was never gazetted yet as a drain reserve. Their status was still private land. No point building KL Citywalk then because it will only have one single entrance from the other side from Wisma UOA. The original land owner of the Glomac land refused to grant us permission to build on it while waiting for it to be gazetted as a drain reserve. This is as much as I can tell regarding the land issue.

With just one entrance, we'll also have no place to put the two TNB sub-stations required, the refuse collection centre, the suction tank, the services... Everyone of our neighbours wants to block away from us citing security reasons, except Lot 163, because they see the potential! Lot 163 will be opening their backyard to KL Citywalk as wide as possible! Newer developments (on the few parking plots) will be required by DBKL to open up to compliment KL Citywalk.

KL Citywalk has been on the drawing board since 1999. There were different requirements from DBKL each time there was a change of Mayor. FYI, we have 4 sets of Development Order, and 3 sets of Building Plans approval. I guess we kinda got tired (I did), but the show must go on after all the hard work.

Yes, oshkoshbgood... if DBKL were to listen to every single resident nearby, the KL Citywalk idea would have long gone down into the drain reserve. :lol:

'Townhall' meeting makes debut in Selangor
From Malaysiakini
Fauwaz Abdul Aziz | Aug 28, 08 4:14pm

‘Town hall' democracy made its debut in Selangor yesterday when the PKR-led state government held a dialogue between residents', NGOs and developers' associations on the subject of its ban on hillslope development.

hope this place will turn out to be real funky and cool place to hang out for happy hours or just some chilling! :cool: if theres some hot bars that is.. if not.. it'll be real tragic hey..

of all the alleys...they pick a narrow one! what is up wit dat?

It's not an alley. It was a stream that lead to the Klang River...They covered it up some years ago - but water still ran. Not sure about it now...

Yupp there is big huge longkang under it,all the way from the royal selangor golf club to the klang river by wisma Denmark!When it rains heavily sometimes the basement parking at concorde hotel get will be "banjir"

Azlan Abdullah

Assalamualaikum DRNC, saya just nak share info and sedikit maklumat berkenaan food court yang kedudukannya di lorong diantara Bangunan Menarak Perak (jalan perak) dengan Impiana Hotel KLCC SPA & Hotel (jln pinang) sampai lorong belakang ke Ibu Pejabat Hong Leong Bank yang tertangguh pembinaannya untuk sekian lama rasanya lebih pada 2 thn..harap perlaksanaan food court ini dapatkan disiapkan segera. memandang food court dikawasan ini amat terhad. Terima DRNC.

Projek ini tertangguh kerana pemaju telah mengemukakan permohonan pindaan kepada DBKL. Permohonan pindaan tersebut kini dalam pertimbangan.

Sekiranya tiada masalah lain, projek ini dijangka akan selesai dalam tahun 2010.

this project is now an eyesore.... hope it will finish asap.......

Is this another DBKL project? I'd say it's a complete screw-up! It looks like the KL old railway station squeezed into an alley-way, only so much uglier with the modern buildings surrounding it. Total waste of taxpayer's money. No wonder this thread has been idle for so long....people are just too embarrassed to update it.

Dont be terkejut one day they decide to just buldoze the whole thing down!!!DBKL is more than able to do such thing ,i have seen it once at jalan berangan bukit bintang they decided to build a row of hawker center at the backlane and its almost 70% ready the next thing its gone.this happen some 3 years ago.This particular preposal just doesnt make sence i would think it would be a alternatif road for cars to some of the buildings there also emergency acsses for the fire dept.Mind u its narrow it was once a huge drain covererd up.

It will be a good idea to turn it into an "al-fresco international hawker centre", another first of its kind in the world for KL. LOL

A simple ,clean with lots.shaddy trees food court will do!Its a nice little place for all the people that works there for their meals.

What the latest with this fire hazard project?The first thing u see as u enter is a tenaga transfomer thats very welcoming for such a narrow site to begin with!(Jalan P Ramlee entrance)i also notice that glomac had to delay their side of the building to somehow settle some issue.

It seems that Ramlee walk is on going with full swing now. Noticed lots of works are on going. Some roof structures are up:

^^ Yep lol,i dont understand what are they trying to do...

Thanks for nothing DBKL!!!!

Is this an art or what!
DBKL is a blahblah that doesn't know how to make use of those small places...

DBKL should create a 'man made' creeks with waterfalls n such on narrow alleys/streets with cool landscapes for city folks to stroll around and tourists...I think it's a cool and 'green' idea, less noise and pollution. Why would they wanna bring hoards of people to the tiny alley? buat bising ... creat calm and peaceful tranquil spa in a space constricted downtown area..a nook to getaway during lunch breaks...ah yea...set up outdoor picnic tables and rest area..

Interestingly, there is (or was) a small natural river underneath all of that. Like you say, this could have easily been KL's version of a mini Cheonggyecheon. Some maps still show it like the one below:

:ohno:I totally agree its really sad when u think of that area there is no such place!!!!KLCC park is different story all together!It would be nice during lunch break to be able to go somewhere with ur tapau meal and enjoy some time away from the office or people!! Argory the "LONGKANG "is still there it starts from the RSGC to the Klang river by wisma Denmark:)

they build that ugly place so that they can rent it out..and then put d rent money in their pocket. simple :lol:.

they can easily turn that place into a contemporary mini park. just my 2C:)

They wanna make a "mini Malaysia" there... they look like tiny replicas... ohh well... mebbe they can name this alley Kampung Unglam :ohno:

If I were in-charge, I would have brought over the mural walls from Pudu Jail, re-touch and place them on 2 sides of the alley... with some nice water and light features.
