His superb eye for detail and design would particularly make itself known in the finishing touches to his private house commissions, and to larger projects such as the restoration of the Central Market, the Creative Centre for the Majestic Hotel when it became the National Art Gallery.

Conserving Historic Federal Hill
Federal Hill is a unique forested green area and one of KL’s last large green lungs, the only other within the Kuala Lumpur City Centre being Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve. It is well served by public transport along Jalan Bangsar and the KL Sentral transportation hub, has easy access with ample parking for cars. Many joggers and cyclists are seen during the mornings and evenings, and Hash House Harriers use the area regularly.
