FROM a morbid historical site to an upcoming iconic Malaysian integrated development, UDA Holdings Bhd chairman Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani explains how he got the project to transform the former Pudu jail site into a multi-billion ringgit mix-development, the Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC).

“The project has taken a different approach now as all partners are Malaysians – it will be a Malaysian project. Previously, it was a proposal by a foreign entity from China and now with Eco World Development Group Bhd and Employees Provident Fund (EPF) in the consortium, it makes a lot of difference to develop the site as well as not to steer away from our social responsibility agenda.
