Crazy Development in KL Sentral


Oh yes, go to the vicinity of KL Sentral and it's as if you have stepped into another world akin to Dubai's in her hey-day development in 2007.

I was there this morning. It was almost a mini township of offices.

Looking at the development going on,you wouldn't believe there is a recession in Malaysia.

There are foreign workers everywhere putting the finishing touch to the facades of buildings. Sub-contractors are seen busy trying to finish their packages in time for some official opening soon. The roads are all well tarred and walkways are well decorated with fine shrubbery and lush greens.

I passed AXIATA's new premises. The company has moved in. They were refurbishing the lift lobby section.

Then there is the huge Mercu UEM complex, in its monolithic splendour-all ready to start operations. They must really be proud to have their own building at long last.

I guess with all these premises occupied in due time, the KL Sentral transport hub will see more activities befitting the investment that went into it.
