Residents left sleepless after nightclub moves in next door

Still staying on: Jalan Beranang, which is in one of Kuala Lumpur's Designated Entertainment Zones, still has some houses occupied by the original owners who are living next door to entertainment outlets operating till the wee hours.

IT IS 3AM and 60-year-old Y.M. Lou is abruptly awoken by the loud thumping base reverberating throughout her house in Jalan Berangan, Bukit Bintang.

The noise is so loud that everything shakes to the beat of the music that rattles the window panes of her father’s five-decade-old house.
