  • Night Closure of Jalan Ma'arof, Near Ma'arof
    MEDIA RELEASE NIGHT CLOSURE OF JALAN MA’AROF, NEAR MA’AROF INTERCHANGE (KL- & PJ-BOUND) Closure to be implemented as works for the future Pusat Bandar Damansara Station progresses Kuala Lumpur, 28 February 2014: Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) held a walkabout today to highlight the traffic management plan (TMP) devised for Jalan Ma’arof, Bangsar for the month of March, where the future Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT Station will be built. A section of Jalan Ma’arof near the Ma’arof interchange (Kuala Lumpur- and Petaling Jaya- bound) will be closed during the night from 4th March 2014 to 31st March 2014. The closure will be between 10:00pm and 6:00am daily. The stretch affected is between the junction of Jalan Medang Serai and Jalan Johar at the Ma’arof interchange. (Please refer to appended map, highlighted in Blue.) Page 1 of 5 “Motorists who usually use Jalan Ma’arof to head towards Petaling Jaya, Damansara Heights or Pusat Bandar Damansara, are advised to avoid Jalan Ma’arof during this period,” said En Amir Mahmood Razak, MRT Corp Director of Strategic Communications and Public Relations. “They can use other routes to access these areas. For example, if you are on Jalan Bangsar heading towards Kuala Lumpur, you could use Jalan Travers and Jalan Damansara. If you are heading towards Petaling Jaya, you should go onto Jalan Pantai Baru to get on the Federal Highway and then onto Jalan Universiti,” he explained. “Traffic on these routes should not be busy as it will be during the night time,” he added.

  • Booming Brickfields and Bangsar
    Booming Brickfields and Bangsar Posted on March 8, 2013 | 2675 views | Topic : Featured, Investment. It’s a melting pot of history and culture but will the future be kind to this thriving urban neighourhood? By Chee Su-Lin | [email protected] I’ve always loved Brickfields. I once had the honour to share some digs with several self - professed underground musicians; we rented a few apartments in Brickfields. Some of them felt such affinity for the place that they coined our little community the Republik of Brickfields and went on to form a band with that name too. We used to take pride in our old walk-up apartment block having probably the most balconies out of all the apartments in the country. Our three-bedroom unit had no less than four balconies to hang out on! Great for watching street traffic, such as filmmaker/activist Hishamuddin Rais whistling as he walked from his apartment in Seputeh to his office in Bangsar Utama. Urban legend had it that this apartment block was designed by (now Dato’ Seri) Samy Vellu when he was starting out as a draughtsman. And when you walked that street you tried not to catch a whiff of frangipani, as the Malay graveyard was just behind. As they say, if you smell frangipani, you might have company! Where else but Brickfields do you have six spiritual houses representing the country’s major religions clustered around the same street, appropriately named Jalan Berhala? These include the Lutheran Church, Buddhist Maha Vihara temple, Sri Kandaswamy temple, Church of the Lady of Fatima, Surau Brickfields and San Jiau Tang Chinese temple.

  • Discover Brickfields
    Discover Brickfelds :Building Kuala Lumpur Brickfelds is located immediately to south of Kuala Lumpur’s historic town centre adjacent to “Chinatown” and Kg Attap. Bounded by Jalan Scott (NE) & the Klang River (E), Midvalley & Kg Abdullah Hukum (S), Jalan Bangsar and Jalan Travers (W) and Jalan Damansara NW). When the original mining settlement of Kuala Lumpur was established in the mid 1850s, travel from Klang to Kuala Lumpur took 3 days by poling a boat up river. By the 1870s, one could travel by steam boat for 1½ hours and reach Damansara Village. The journey would continue overland route on horseback north to Batu Tiga, so called because it was 3 miles from Damansara, and continued through Penchala to KL. Distances along the Damansara Road was marked out by milestones and the 15th milestone was where the road ended. Brickfelds Road ran off Damansara Road at Mile 15 and so Brickfelds became popularly referred to as Batu Limabelas. With the start of rail travel in 1886, the overland route was no longer used but the name stuck. The name Brickfelds has its origins in the active brick-making industry which was established in this area in the 1870s. Kapitan Cina Yap Ah Loy, had established a brick kiln to make bricks and tiles for export to Singapore; his brickfeld is believed to have been on the site where KL Sentral is today. By the mid 1880s, there were at least 15 brick kilns in this area because of the mandatory regulation to rebuild timber and thatch into brick and tiled roofs structures.
