My remark:

Yes! would like to run a project: Discover Beautiful KL China Town Photo: Series.1 [Street Building]. Known as ‘Chee Cheong Kai’ 茨厂街 (Starch Factory Street) in heart of Kuala Lumpur city. There are still many interested and unique Street Building and will update after I took more. I truly hope Jalan Petaling and the whole area become register world heritage area to protect all these building from damage to develop. Some of those buildings are rebuilt, some of them are refurbished, renovated and some of them are the original building that just what they look like. Heard that even local people seldom to drop by here, hopefully Malaysia local can take time to come back here to find and learn their own history and memory in Jalan Petaling. You never find if you never step forward to visit here. Please stay tune for the Series.2 [ ? ].
