YTL Communications Centre at Sentul melisa@ytlesolutions.com - 8 March 2010 11:47:17 AM The business of building restoration and adaptive reuse is often sidelined by developers in Kuala Lumpur unless coerced by local guidelines and regulations. The arduous task of restoration work is avoided in favour of demolition and reconstruction to satiate our appetite for the gleaming and new.
