This talk shares selected stories uncovered while developing the narratives for KL DULU: Jejak Warisan Kuala Lumpur under Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur. Through walking the city, researching its streets, and revisiting familiar landmarks, the session brings together some forgotten memories of Kuala Lumpur’s buildings, neighbourhoods, and public spaces. It offers a journey through stories discovered along the way — some hidden in archives, some found on the ground, and others revealed through walking, observing, and asking new questions about the city.
