Good paycheck to do that job. If I am not scared of height, and have the ability to do like that, definitely that is my kind of job. Imagine just wiping high rise window..and the view that you get with camera beside you :D

But you have to earn some sort of certificate to be able to get the job. Not that easy as it seem ;)

how freaky it would be to dangle like those men on like the 60th storey :angel1:

hmmm....they only 'absailed' or 'dangle' for the first few floors or cleaning the podium only lah. On the upper floors....they have the window-cleaning gondolas :D

I saw a village house smack righ in the middle of the city, at Jalan Ampang.

Any pictures of it?

Thanks. :)

Only one village house? How big was it? Or you meant a village? :?

One kampong house, with a big plot of land near the cemetery and Renaissance KL.

I saw it from my room.

does it have the colonial look? It's probably the Pakistan High Commissioner if it does.

No, not that.

It is made make of wood and zinc roof.Very rural and kampong look.

oh.. that's the old Kg Baru settlement area I think. Just inches next to it is the currently u/c 42 storey Renaissance Residences. I guess it will be there forever but hopefully it gets a newer look in few years to come to erase the "poverty" look when the residents there actually drive cars. No pic from me lor ;)

Yah, I think so...

So is it just an invidual house or there's others like it?
And what on earth is it doing there in the middle of a huge city?

does anyone know if the renaissance kl is a good hotel? good location?

Very good. :D

Food was great, but a bit expensive.

Within walking distance to KLCC and KL Tower.But you have to climb the hill to get to the KL Tower.

The land next to The Renaissance actually is part of Kampung Baru - a desinated Malay-agro reserved land for over a hundred years already (a legacy of the Malayan British Administration). The land here are not transfereable to non-Malay ownership which explains why Kg. Baru is still undeveloped. ;)

The Msian govt are now thinking of what to do with the status of this big piece of land.......

Very good. :D

haha...no matter where you stay also have to climb the hill to KL Tower lah! :D

Anyway there is a free-shuttle from the foot of the hill ;)

Is it :? I didn't know that there are a free shuttle provided. Walk to the top is a good exercise, just that one might get wet before reaching the base of the tower ;)

Sze...eh, if i want to go to KLCC skybridge on Sunday, how to get the ticket ah? Never been there so not sure where to get the ticket. Thanks

ZaHiRnYa???,do you still afraid for the highly place ??!!
Or dah hilang perasaan tu.

KL is one of the world's most unique cities...

First, we have a centuries-old traditional Malay kampong smack in the city center... And not forgetting the million year old rainforest (real one, not replanted forest!) of Bukit Nanas... That's also a rarity nowadays!

Baq, so many ppl want to take pix of u leh? First got that mat-salleh guy standing next to the pool, then that girl on the bridge... Must be a star lah u :) ...

I took a cab to KL Tower.

The hotel has two wings.

One has views of Petronas and the other, views of KL Tower. :cool:



We have no kampong houses in the city, just abandoned villas.
We have a kampong-like coffee shop in Little India surrounded by shophouses.

ZaHiRnYa???,do you still afraid for the highly place ??!!
Or dah hilang perasaan tu.

still afraid la...but not that scared like before ;)

I think it's the lack of consensus that Kg Baru is rather undeveloped. There were also Malay-based developers who wish to play a part but also failed because of this.

Lack of consensus holding back Kampung Baru plan

PUTRAJAYA: There is no progress in the plan to develop Kampung Baru because landowners cannot reach an agreement on the matter.

This is the main obstacle in the implementation of the plan to develop the area, said Federal Territory Minister Tan Sri Mohd Isa Samad.

He said since the land was categorised as Malay agriculture settlement, every landowner needed to agree to the development plan.

?The land is almost like tanah adat (customary land) whereby every landowner must agree before it can be developed.

?There is no other obstacle as the land can be leased and developed just like any other land,? he said yesterday.

Most of the land has been slotted for mixed development under the plan.

Mohd Isa said efforts were underway to persuade the landowners to agree to the plan so that the whole area could be developed in line with the Kuala Lumpur Structural Plan which is expected to be gazetted at the end of the month.

He said some of the land was jointly owned by as many as 30 people and this created problems as only some of them agreed to the development plan.

So there's a kampong in the middle of the city?

Any pictures?

Condition by Kampung Baru residents easy to meet, says Isa

PUTRAJAYA: The Government is prepared to accept the condition set by Kampung Baru residents who want only bumiputra developers to re-develop the area, Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Mohamed Isa Abdul Samad said.

?If that is their only condition, I think it is not a problem to find a bumiputra developer. It is not a difficult condition to fulfil,? he told reporters yesterday after chairing his ministry's post-Cabinet meeting.

Nevertheless, the ministry needed to study the legal aspects on the status of Kampung Baru before implementing the re-development plan, he said.

He also said the ministry's legal adviser and legal officers from the Kuala Lumpur City Hall would discuss the enactment or the status of the Malay Agriculture Settlement.

The status of Kampung Baru as a Malay settlement was gazetted by the British under the Land Enactment, 1897 as a Malay Agriculture Settlement.

As a result, plans to redevelop the 103.6ha area were hampered.

Isa said the owners' co-operation was crucial before their land could be re-developed.

?I will meet them to explore the options available.?

Isa also said his ministry had allocated RM1.6mil to build recreational facilities in 15 areas in Putrajaya. ? Bernama

KL is one of the world's most unique cities...

Baq, so many ppl want to take pix of u leh? First got that mat-salleh guy standing next to the pool, then that girl on the bridge... Must be a star lah u :) ...

haha..I only noticed that they were shooting my way(could be the KL Con Ctr..or that ugly Mutiara Hotel :D) after seeing the pics on pc.

So there's a kampong in the middle of the city?

Any pictures?

Here's a pic of the newer part of the Kampung. I can see why they refuse..*who in their right mind would give up their 2 storey houses in the middle of the city?*

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/baqthier/kgbarunew.jpg

*=not necessarily my view :D

And the older part?


Anyway, I think it should be a conservation area.

The area near Jalan Tun Razak

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/baqthier/kgbarunew2.jpg

I sure hope there're some of these 'more wealthy' kampongs here. :(

And the older part?


Anyway, I think it should be a conservation area.

The older part is the one that you saw from your hotel room which the pic I don't have. It's also way smaller than the newer area .
Some of the buildings in the Kampung deserves to be conserved as some were built in the late 1880s and regarding it to be made a conservation area, well there are plans to make it a cultural centre :)

In those pictures the houses are concrete.From my room, the houses are of wood.

i agree, should preserve kampung baru.

Eh, any more Kg Bahru pics? :D

And what is this colonial building?:?
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/503/9elipkl1.jpg

^^^ That would be the Batu Road School ;)

Wow, now we only have government 2 schools still occupying colonial buildings! :cry: :bash:

And only 1 secondary school occupying a colonial building! :cry:


The govt forced all schools out of the city centre! :cry:
The excuse is that the land is far too expensive...

And yet SMU is smack right in the middle of the city! :bash:
