The Fallen Heritage 文化遗产倒了….!
The Pudu Prison was located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and was completed in 1895. There was a 390-metre prison wall, and had been adorned with the world’s longest mural at one point in its history.
According to some sources, in the early 1980s’, Mr Khong Yen Chong, a talented former inmate, used some thousand litres of paint to create an eye-catching and impressive mural of tropical scenes. The mural measured about some 800 odd feet long by 14 feet in height and was also mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records as being the longest mural in the world. He came back as a volunteer to complete this memorable masterpiece, although he was a free man after his release.

Hi Muddy Estuary,
You are doing a good job with your camera! Though part of Pudu Jail is no longer with us but it will remained in our hearts, just like the demise of a family member.
