Pudu prison - the farewell

These will probably be the last photos I ever take of Pudu prison, at least of the wall. Since the demolition of the outer wall started on 21 June 2010 and will continue each evening this week, we don't know how much will come down. Supposedly a small concession has been made to preserve a small section of the wall flanking the main gate. But for how long?

I took these photos today, 23rd, and the whole stretch of wall along Jalan Pudu has gone, and a short stretch along Jalan Hang Tuah. I took the opportunity to walk along the wall that faces the waste land and stretches down almost to the mosque.

2020 update -


The old gateway is still standing, on the right side of the "now" photo. Also Hang Tuah LRT station. The foreground runs along Jln Pudu.
