On June 21 2010, amid much controversy and public outcry, the 115-year-old Pudu Jail, which ceased operations in 1996, was demolished to make way for redevelopment (word is that a KLCC like shopping behemoth is in the pipeline). The relics of one of KL’s oldest and most iconic structures – the main prison gate and a portion of the exterior wall that once housed the world’s longest mural – remain nostalgic favourites among shutterbugs and wistful locals.
