I don't know why some ppl like these old antique shit. Yes, we should treasure historical places, but it doesn't mean we just leave it like 40-50 years ago. Some kind of refurbishment need to be done.

Next thing is to improve the old shophouses surrounding there.

Taib has approved Rm1mln + to upgrade india street..cool rite?

3rd Mile. the Timberland Extension. Correct me if i'm wrong

Another possible way is to construct Kuching outer ring road or highway, so that ppl can bypass Kuching city proper to their desired destination. For example, ppl from Tabuan Jaya who wish to go Satok doesn't have to go through so many areas with high traffic. Just like in Beijing or Paris, they have layers upon layers of outer ring road. So ppl can choose to drive on which road, bypass the city centre and it's easy for foreigners to navigate too.

Totally agree. The traffic at jalan wan alwi will get alot worse after the completion of the new proposed vivacity. There is totally no proper city planning in Kuching.
