Preserve stories of KL’s past

THE word ‘city’ has its origins in the Latin word ‘civis’, which means citizen, and Badan Warisan Malaysia executive director Elizabeth Cardosa said these people and their stories help make a city rich.

“We do not know what we may be losing in the face of development. The character of places rich in history is being changed and the past lost until what we have is akin to an incomplete jigsaw puzzle,” she said.
