The heart of Jaffna Tamil community

The historical ecosystem consisting of Vivekananda Ashram, Vivekananda Tamil primary and secondary schools and Jalan Vivekananda will be drastically damaged if a skyscraper is to tower over the century-old building.

IN the course of researching for this series, I noticed that there is often little connection between the streets and the personalities they were named after.

For example, you cannot find anything about Loke Yew in Jalan Loke Yew, as his businesses, properties and even grave are located in other parts of Kuala Lumpur.
