Mega development plan proposed for Pudu Prison land
Stories by JAYAGANDI JAYARAJ

THE land on which the 113- year-old Pudu Prison is located has been identified as one of the major sites for mega development in the Draft KL City Plan 2020.

The colonial era prison was taken over by the Urban Development Authority (UDA) in November 1996 after it was officially closed.


First sight: The arch leading to the inner sanctum of the prison's
X-shaped main block.

The land on which the prison structure stands has been earmarked for mixed development in the draft plan.

That means 70% of the land will be used for a commercial hub and 30% for residential development.

There are five plots involved in the proposed plan submitted by the UDA to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) in July 2005.

Plots 1, 2 and 5 are proposed for commercial buildings, including a 33-storey office tower, a shopping complex, a 43-storey hotel tower and a 44-storey serviced apartment tower.


Familiar site: A look at the famous Pudu Prison mural and some of the buildings
within the compound.


The old prison mosque will be maintained while plots 3 and 4 will feature two blocks of 44-storey condominiums on each plot. There is also a 1.2ha park proposed in the plan.

The proposal also involves the widening of Jalan Pudu and making a new traffic way at Jalan Changkat Thamby Abdullah to create a dedicated entrance to the development site.

The Hang Tuah monorail station will also be integrated with the proposed development site to create easy accessibility for the public.

According to DBKL town planning director Mahadi Che Ngah, the proposed plan has been discussed by the town planning committee and examined by former mayor Datuk Ruslin Hasan when UDA submitted it in 2005.

time and was executed at Pudu Prison.

However, due to the proposal抯 high density, the UDA was told to scale down the development.

揂t present, the traffic condition along Jalan Hang Tuah is already bad. The developers have to find a good solution to tackle the traffic problems,

sedikit info


Penjara Pudu di Kuala Lumpur dibina oleh kerajaan jajahan British pada 1891 untuk mengurung 600 banduan.

Blok-blok baru ditambah kemudian sehingga enam buah dan mengandungi 130 buah sel dengan kapasiti untuk sebanyak 2,000 banduan. Walaupun begitu, pada 1985, lebih daripada 6,500 banduan dipenjarakan dan menyebabkan banduan terpaksa tidur bergilir-gilir. Keadaan kekurangan ruang yang amat pesat itu telah memaksakan Penjara Pudu berpindah.

Penjara Pudu dibuka kepada orang awam untuk lawatan pada 3 Mei 1997, lebih daripada enam bulan selepas banduan terakhir dipindah keluar ke kemudahan moden di Sungai Buloh. Lebih daripada RM1.7 juta dibelanja bagi mengubah penjara ini menjadi tarikan pelancong. Sebahagian besar perbelanjaan itu ditelani oleh pembinaan bilik pameran untuk memperagakan koleksi memorabilia dan rekod-rekod sejarah. Yuran masuk ditetap pada RM12 setiap orang dewasa.
