Little India’s landmarks buried in banners

Rows of Pallava-inspired arches line the walkway along Jalan Tun Sambanthan in Little India, Brickfields. The structures were installed as part of a streetscape beautification effort to enhance the area’s cultural identity and appeal to visitors.

ILLEGAL banners placed on decorative arches at Brickfields’ Little India have turned the cultural landmarks into advertising spaces.

Local stakeholders are calling on Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to act against the business owners comprising mostly eateries, citing a blatant disregard for public assets.
