Breath...taking | Twin Towers ~ view from the New World Hotel |
Historically, Kuala Lumpur (previous aka Muddy Estuary) was founded in 1857 by a group of Chinese who made their way up the Klang river, searching for tin. A village was "formed" as the supply of tin was abundant then. It was mostly men who worked on the mining of tin. As some got rich and rivalries increase, there was a need for law and order
Yap Ah Loy, the "Kapitan Cina" ~ Chinese Captain was the man that so called "built" Kuala Lumpur
Now, the thriving capital of Malaysia has, amongst others, this proud building to show to the world that Kuala Lumpur has rose from a simple Muddy Estuary to the capital of Malaysia |
