Kuala Lumpur 1957

This Kharita™ was originally published by the Survey Department of the Federation of Malaya in 1957, the same year Malaysia gained indpendence from Britain.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that Kuala Lumpur has experienced a remarkable transformation through extensive urbanization. While certain elements of the city have remained unchanged, there have been substantial additions and removals. One notable transformation is the Petronas Twin Towers, which, in this depiction, appears as a racecourse, possibly intended for horse racing.
