The last keeper of KL’s clock tower


Kunasegaran winds the bell of the clock 320 times every two days.

PASSING by the Sultan Abdul Samad building, you never would have thought of the sweat and sacrifice of one man who has spent most of his life keeping the famous clock on the historic landmark ticking.

Dedication would be an understatement when it comes to describing Kunasegaran Velliah’s work for the past 40 years.
