But then again, the new administration may not be aware of what the old administration has done or committed to. <BR/><BR/>Would a high-rise be considered a high-rise if it's cut down to five storeys? You think?<BR/><BR/>Interesting development to watch.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-56160699921534021582008-11-21T11:42:00.000+08:002008-11-21T11:42:00.000+08:00MBL, let's hope the more significant buildings get...MBL, let's hope the more significant buildings get preserved. Others can go, I suppose. I have friends whose family homes along Jalan Ampang have been replaced by high-rise buildings. <BR/><BR/>Have you been to Kelly's Castle? Several years ago, my friends and I were supposed to detour there after a trip to Penang, but it was raining so heavily, we changed our plan. I think it has been done up pretty nicely and is now a popular tourist attraction in the state of Perak.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-53642656524069379062008-11-20T17:12:00.000+08:002008-11-20T17:12:00.000+08:00The building of the hotels had already been approv...The building of the hotels had already been approved before WHC listing. The state government is in a very difficult situation, and I doubt the federal government will step in to help.<BR/><BR/>The best hope is the people voice out their opposition to the hotel plans. Or, the owners of the future hotels make concession by lowering the heights of the buildings.khengsionghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08388168568808671784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-55067184062636444632008-11-20T15:34:00.000+08:002008-11-20T15:34:00.000+08:00I hate to see old buildings bulldozed in the name ...I hate to see old buildings bulldozed in the name of development....I would to like see serious preservation works in this country.
