Missing Kuala Selangor War Memorial - Found! by Andrew Hwang
The war memorial obelisk is a shadow of its former self and should be restored. More importantly, just like the war memorial at the Stadthuys in Melaka, this memorial commemorates 7 fallen Malay soldiers who gave their lives in order to protect their homeland from invaders in WW2. Press Statements
If the jail complex were to have been preserved, with a little creative thinking and innovative planning, we could have found a narrative which would fit into our contemporary community and provide a first-hand experience of a unique piece of social, cultural and architectural history. Its demolition denies us this opportunity. Dr Chandran Mohandas Jeshurun: 1940 - 2009
The Council and Members of Badan Warisan Malaysia were greatly saddened to receive the news of the passing of Dr Chandran Jeshurun on Tuesday 3 November 2009. We offer our deepest sympathies to his mother and other family members. 27th Annual General Meeting
