Broken promises: Heritage buildings in KL left to decay


The Chartered Bank building, which last housed the Music Museum, is in a derelict state with wild shrubs and plants inva­ding the building.

TWO heritage buildings within the historic enclave of Jalan Raja in Kuala Lumpur, near Merdeka Square, have been virtually abandoned even as the nation’s capital city prepares for Visit Malaysia Year 2026.

Both buildings, the old Chartered Bank building and the Industrial Court are in a very sorry state today.
