36. History
• LocationKuala Lumpur, Malaysia
• Groundbreaking was in March 1993
• Construction started in 1 January 1996
• Completed in 1 January 1997
• Inaugurated in 31 August 1999; 17 years ago
• Renovated in 1 January 1998
• The site of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre was historically part
of an affluent suburban residential area north of the old
Kuala Lumpur town, linked to the town via Ampang Road and
populated by bungalows and mansions dating as far back as
the colonial early-20th century. The centrepiece of the area
was the original site of the Selangor Turf Club, with many
houses constructed around the site to capitalise on views of
the racing course. As large scale development moved
northwards from old Kuala Lumpur town after the 1950s,
development of the area gradually shifted from low-density
residential homes to high-density commercial complexes and
offices, raising the appeal of developing the suburb into a
new commercial centre for Kuala Lumpur. In 1988, the
Selangor Turf Club site and adjoining residential parcels were
sold to be cleared away for the KLCC project; the Turf Club
was subsequently relocated to Sungai Besi. In the subsequent
years after the relocation of the Turf Club, more surrounding
residential plots were acquired for further development of
the KLCC
Culture
• Kuala Lumpur is the cultural centre of Peninsular Malaysia. A
melting pot of cultures and traditions, the city is a modern
and cosmopolitan capital with the three dominant ethnicities
– Malays, Chinese and Indians – that form the majority of
Malaysia’s population.
• Although these races, and sundry ethnic groups, have
distinctly different cultures and traditions, Malaysia’s
populace gets along swimmingly. Whether it’s due to the
languid and generous spirit of the nation or because of the
simple fact that the country is a beautiful and serene land is
anyone’s guess. When you’re in Malaysia you’ll encounter
friendly people with ready smiles just about everywhere you
go.
