Yep! here's another look at the poignant Kuala Lumpur, city that probably sleeps rather the least among other states in comparison. Some light strobing, a march of vehicles, a feast of food choices, an overzealous neons and a crowd with some time to kill.
This is just another movie about Kuala Lumpur and not another place which you have not been but it's a sure city not to be ignore for those who are not from any part of south east asia.
Don't wait, don't hesitate and don't waste the chance to give yourself sometime with KL. As a quick look on our city, Kuala Lumpur, here's a 2:50 mins glimpse at a city near you.

Not forgetting are a few more photos just to remind us all that we live in a time where pretty much of what we have now will be the future generations to remember. From the world tallest flag pole to the world tallest twin towers, these are quite some landmark to be reckon of. A quick walk in and around KLCC, we have dozens of high end residentials fetching price with a range of RM2,000 psf and above. There's no shortage of luxury, convenience, shopping haven and epitome of the modern living in Kuala Lumpur.
Oh yes, I've started to draw the above caricature for a couple of weeks now and just got it finished and uploaded here. As our prime minister intensified the 1 Malaysia campaign, we all can't help but to think whether the concept will achieve its purpose at the end of the day. With all the 8 values and adverts going on around town and media, there's no doubts that our government is very serious in preserving and enhancing unity. However, one may ask the effectiveness of all this efforts in achieving its goals overtime.
Frankly, there are some major things need to be mend to pave the way towards unity. What major things you may ask? Well, let me just express some of my thoughts which happened quite recently. I used to take an early breakfast at a local mamak restaurant near to my house which is adjacent to a primary public school. For some reasons, I went to the same mamak to take my lunch most probably due to my office location is a mere 10 minutes drive from here. As I was taking my usual lunch, a group of primary students were there and there was this boy with a rather pitchy voice chatting with his friends about what happened a day before a fight broke up between his friends.
What really startled me was that the student mentioned that it was a 'racial fight'. I could imagine that it's likely that a small fight broke up between 2 different race at the school. I guess I don't need to mentioned what are the race of these students but the point is these small kids are impregnated with mis-understandings of other races probably from home or friends. As a result, the gap of understanding other races becomes bigger as we grew up if the interaction among us becomes lesser.
One of the things that did pretty well in forging unity although not without hiccups are the Rakan Muda and National Service. The concept of unity has to be look upon with a wider appeal of just simple fundamentals of what really separate us. Somehow, we can't have 1 Malaysia and yet with 2 or more system objecting the very principles of unity. Hence, there are simple but painful decisions which should be implemented in a long period of time to allow flexibility and improvements. We all just have to look at the bigger overall picture and cannot allow our differences dictate our unity.
