As I am blogging right now, Pudu Jail is about 5 minutes from being torn down to make way for Kuala Lumpur's development. I am deeply saddened by the fact that not even a piece of the jail is left for commemoration.
Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin said it is not something to be proud of but think again; Alcatraz Island, Berlin Wall and even the death camps are not something to be proud of as well. It doesn't mean that if you are not proud of it, it does not have any significance to the public.
It again shows that the government lacks the motivation to preserve historical sites time and again.
