Kuala Lumpur may see newer and safer cycling routes but just with one condition – provided more buildings switch off their lights in this year’s Earth Hour celebration.

The pledge came from Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib, a cycling enthusiast, as part of his effort to create green awareness among city folk.
