Heritage centre continues work of documenting Petaling Street’s history


Chong has been an active advocate in the preservation of Chinese dialects and Petaling Street (Chinatown) for more than 10 years.

Every day, a little bit of the historical Petaling Street chips away with the aged locals leaving, and memories of its original community fading away.

One of the main reasons for this is the relative scarcity of documentation about the place, an issue the newly reopened Petaling Street Heritage House strives to address.
