Pudu Jail - Gone Too Soon 半山芭監獄


Built in 1895, the historical Pudu Jail is giving its way to the so called development of the city. We don't know when, but gone too soon.

住在吉隆坡的人或是來到時代廣場逛街的人,  很難不注意到這座已古老殘缺的建築物. 也許很多人都不知道它的歷史和背景故事, 但是明眼人卻能看到, 它正在一天一天的被拆除了. 一座見證吉隆坡歷史的百年建築將隨著時代的巨輪而被輾碎, 遺忘.


Just like the lyrics in Michael Jackson's song Gone Too Soon

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
